U.S. NSA domestic phone spying program illegal: appeals court

What does this mean for:

1) the Patriot Act's renewal/new bills to extend/enhance it

2) the USA Freedom Act

Is the USA Freedom Act "compatible" with this decision, or does it allow the NSA to do some things that the Court here has just banned?

Essentially nothing, until these cases make their way to the Supreme Court.

more rules specifically allowing this behavior will have to be written into the bills. the specific ruling did not rest on the 4th Amendment but instead what was written into the Patriot Act which means, amend the Patriot Act and its back to court to try for a Constitutional issue
