CA4: Wikimedia can show standing to challenge internet surveillance under Clapper v. Amesty International

Wikimedia’s complaint against the NSA survives SCOTUS Clapper v. Amnesty International standing analysis. Wikimedia handles over one trillion internet communications a year, and every internet portal in the U.S. and likely the world reaches it. Therefore, some communications have to have been captured. The other complainants’ standing, however, are speculative under Clapper. Wikimedia Foundation v. NSA/Central Security Service, 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 8957 (4th Cir. May 23, 2017).

Motion to excluded 404(b) evidence after jury was selected was a thinly veiled motion to suppress that wasn’t remotely timely. United States v. Quinones-Davila, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 77605 (D.V.I. May 22, 2017).*
