ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

United States v. U.S. District Court

Okay kiddo, so one time there was this guy who worked for the government and his job was to spy on people. But some other people didn't like that, they thought it was a violation of their rights. So they went to court to complain about it.

The court had to decide if it was okay for the government to spy on people without asking permission first. They looked at a law that said the government could do it but only in certain situations.

The court decided that the law wasn't clear enough, and that the government didn't have the right to spy on people like that. They told the guy who was doing the spying to stop, and said that the law had to be changed to be more clear about when and how the government can do that kind of thing.
