Last year, we noted that US Solicitor General Donald Verrilli had lied to the Supreme Court in Amnesty International‘s lawsuit about warrantless wiretapping. If you don‘t recall, Amnesty International had sued about the program, but the US government successfully got the case tossed by arguing that Amnesty International had no proof that their communications were tapped, and thus they had no standing to sue. The Supreme Court appeared troubled by the fact that no one could sue unless they somehow knew for a fact they were being spied upon, but eventually sided with the government, in large part because of one of Verrilli‘s false statements.
