The government insists that national security surveillance is beyond judicial review — that the state secrets privilege, the standing doctrine, and the classified nature of surveillance programs place them outside the Constitution's reach. The constitutional warrior who understands the doctrinal landscape knows that this position is wrong, and that the tools for challenging government surveillance — however difficult to deploy — do exist and have occasionally succeeded. The Constitutional National Security and Surveillance Advanced Warrior is Volume LXXI of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series, delivering the complete advanced guide to challenging government surveillance programs in federal court. Wayne Richard Evangelista covers at advanced depth: FISA's complete structure — Title I individual warrants, Title III pen registers, Title IV physical search, Title V business records and Section 215, and Title VII Section 702 collection — the constitutional adequacy of each; Section 702 collection — upstream, downstream, PRISM, and minimization — and FBI v. Fazaga's implications for judicial review; national security letters — the First Amendment challenge, Doe v. Mukasey's partial invalidation, and the post-USA FREEDOM Act nondisclosure framework; standing after Clapper v. Amnesty International's certainly impending standard and the alternative approaches taken in Wikimedia Foundation v. NSA and ACLU v. Clapper; the state secrets privilege from United States v. Reynolds through Mohamed v. Jeppesen Dataplan and its constitutional adequacy as a substitute for judicial review; mass surveillance after Snowden — the Jewel v. NSA litigation and EFF strategies; and the targeted killing program's Fifth Amendment due process dimensions from Al-Awlaki v. Obama through the Obama administration's legal justifications.
