Summary:

Discusses doctrines of constitutional and prudential standing. Explores how constitutional standing doctrine formed the basis of the Supreme Court ruling in Clapper v. Amnesty International , which held that a group of attorneys and human rights organizations did not have standing to challenge Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which established new statutory authority for U.S. Government surveillance directed at the communications of non-U.S. citizens abroad. Examines how Supreme Court ruling in Clapper may affect litigation over recently revealed Government surveillance and intelligence efforts.
