Fisa court: no telecoms company has ever challenged phone records orders
http://j.mp/189DeIz (Guardian)
"To date, no holder of records who has received an Order to produce
bulk telephony metadata has challenged the legality of such an Order,"
Eagan wrote. "Indeed, no recipient of any Section 215 Order has
challenged the legality of such an order, despite the mechanism for
doing so." That complicity has not been total. Before the Bush
administration moved the bulk phone records collection under the
authority of the Fisa court, around 2006, Qwest Communications refused
to participate in the effort.

In the old days, the saying was "We're the phone company. We don't
care, because we don't have to!"
