This should kill the FBI's case, since illegally-obtained evidence is automatically inadmissable in court (cf. fruit of the poisonous tree). If the only way to obtain evidence is through illegal means (e.g. unconstitutional wiretapping), then the evidence is inadmissible. But as we saw in the Ross Ulbright case, judges can arbitrarily overrule that protection against illegally-obtained evidence.

A "CALEA" warrant approved by a judge makes it legal for US citizens. Federal intelligence have abused the secret FISA process established by the Patriot Act after 9/11. Foreign subjects do not require a warrant under FISA.

Add even with the weakest cases the Feds get a 99% convection rate. It is ridiculous.
