SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal judge Thursday rejected a government request that he dismiss a lawsuit challenging the Bush administration's domestic spying program.
The lawsuit, brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, challenges President Bush's assertion that he can use his wartime powers to eavesdrop on Americans without a warrant.
The government had argued that the lawsuit should be thrown out because it threatens to reveal state secrets and jeopardize the war on terror.
