An appellate court, commonly called an appeals court or court of appeals (American English) or appeal court (British English), is any court of law that is empowered to hear an appeal of a trial court or other lower tribunal. In most jurisdictions, the court system is divided into at least three levels: the trial court, which initially hears cases and reviews evidence and testimony to determine the facts of the case; at least one intermediate appellate court; and a supreme court (or court of last resort) which primarily reviews the decisions of the intermediate courts. A jurisdiction's supreme court is that jurisdiction's highest appellate court. Appellate courts nationwide can operate by varying rules.
Many U.S. jurisdictions title their appellate court a court of appeal or court of appeals. Historically, others have titled their appellate court a court of errors (or court of errors and appeals), on the premise that it was intended to correct errors made by lower courts. Examples of such courts include the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals (which existed from 1844 to 1947), the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors (which has been renamed the Connecticut Supreme Court), the Kentucky Court of Errors (renamed the Kentucky Supreme Court), and the Mississippi High Court of Errors and Appeals (since renamed the Supreme Court of Mississippi). In some jurisdictions, courts able to hear appeals are known as an appellate division.

In a 97-page ruling, the Second Circuit Court ruled that the heart and soul of the so-called Patriot Act, known as Section 215, is constitutionally flawed and it cannot be legally interpreted as allowing mass snooping on the phone calls of U.S. citizens! The timing of this May 2015 ruling is extremely significant since the Patriot Act is set to expire on June 1, 2015.

An appellate court, commonly called an appeals court or court of appeals (American English) or appeal court (British English) or court of second instance or second instance court, is any court of law that is empowered to hear an appeal of a trial court or other lower tribunal. In most jurisdictions, the court system is divided into at least three levels: the trial court, which initially hears cases and reviews evidence and testimony to determine the facts of the case; at least one intermediate appellate court; and a supreme court (or court of last resort) which primarily reviews the decisions of the intermediate courts. A jurisdiction's supreme court is that jurisdiction's highest appellate court. Appellate courts nationwide can operate by varying rules.
The authority of appellate courts to review decisions of lower courts varies widely from one jurisdiction to another. In some places, the appellate court has limited powers of review. "Generally speaking, an appellate court's judgment provides 'the final directive of the appeals courts as to the matter appealed, setting out with specificity the court's determination that the action appealed from should be affirmed, reversed, remanded or modified'".

Script:
The National Security Agency's practice of collecting Americans' information from telephone calls is illegal, according to a court ruling Thursday.
A federal court ruled, "The telephone metadata program exceeds the scope of what Congress has authorized and therefore violates Section 215."
The NSA uses Section 215 of the Patriot Act to justify its collection of Americans' phone metadata. Thursday's court ruling determined the NSA went too far with its information collection.
The timing of the ruling is especially crucial as the Patriot Act is set to expire June 1, unless Congress acts. If it does expire, NSA officials said they would not collect phone metadata unless it was renewed.
This appellate federal court ruling comes after a December 2013 ruling from a judge who decided the NSA's metadata collection was legal.
The lawsuit was brought on by the American Civil Liberties Union. Listed defendants include Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, NSA Director Michael Rogers, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, new Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey.

In a 97-page ruling, the Second Circuit Court ruled that the heart and soul of the so-called Patriot Act, known as Section 215, is constitutionally flawed and it cannot be legally interpreted as allowing mass snooping on the phone calls of U.S. citizens!
The timing of this May 2015 ruling is extremely significant since the Patriot Act is set to expire on June 1, 2015.
This is causing power craving, ultra controlling politicians to have outright panic attacks. Unless they do something very quickly, they will be forced to honor constitutional rule of law. And, gasp, people can have private conversations again in America!
But don't jump for joy yet. The political scoundrels have regrouped and are now pushing for a so-called reform measure called the Freedom Act. Only one problem. It's worse than the Patriot Act. The so-called Freedom Act, if implemented, would, as Judge Napolitano put it, "legitimize all spying all the time on all of us in ways that the Patriot Act fails to do. It is no protection of privacy; it is no protection of constitutional liberty. It unleashes American spies on innocent Americans in utter disregard of the Fourth Amendment."
Ironically, the NSA's data collection center is located in the town of Bluffdale, Utah. So what do you say it's time to call everyone's bluff. Let' s make it an acid test of who to support this election season. Even if a professing conservative supports either renewing the Patriot Act or the new phony Freedom Act, show him the Right Foot of Fellowship--and that includes Ted Cruz. Et Tu, Ted? Et Tu Ted. As admirable as Senator Cruz is on many issues, if he is on the wrong side of this issue, he can't be trusted on lesser issues. Hopefully the unwavering stand of Ted's buddy Rand Paul will motivate Cruz to abandon his current inexplicable support for the Freedom Act, and to once again stand firm in supporting our Fourth Amendment rights.
Judge Andrew Napolitano's repudiation of the Patriot Act in his May 14 column is constitutionally unassailable. He wrote, "The Patriot Act is the centerpiece of the federal government’s false claims that by surrendering our personal liberties to it, it can somehow keep us safe. The liberty-for-safety offer has been around for millennia and was poignant at the time of the founding of the American republic.
"The Framers addressed it in the Constitution itself, where they recognized the primacy of the right to privacy and insured against its violation by the government by intentionally forcing it to jump through some difficult hoops before it can capture our thoughts, words or private behavior.
"Those hoops are the requirement of a search warrant issued by a judge and based on evidence — called probable cause — demonstrating that it is more likely than not that the government will find what it is looking for from the person or place it is targeting. Only then may a judge issue a warrant, which must specifically describe the place to be searched or specifically identify the person or thing to be seized.
"None of this is new. It has been at the core of our system of government since the 1790s. It is embodied in the Fourth Amendment, which is at the heart of the Bill of Rights. It is quintessentially American."
Wow! If we can only get our politicians to embrace constitutional chat like this, we might just get back our Constitutional Republic!
Napolitano went on the explain that The Patriot Act makes an unconstitutional end run around the search warrant requirement by employing language left intentionally vague so that the feds can interpret it any way it wants and to add insult to injury they used a secret court called a FISA court to legitimize their illegitimate actions, far from the prying and probing eyes of We the People and what's left of the Free Press, resulting in their ability to spy on anyone and everyone whenever they choose--and they chose to spy on everyone all the time--including having the Draconian ability to actually turn on our cell phones remotely, using them as listening devices--in real time!
This is the end of our video but if you still are leaning toward replacing the Patriot Act with the Freedom Act, consider this: The NSA supports the Freedom Act!

Appellate court
Appellate court
An appellate court, commonly called an appeals court or court of appeals (American English) or appeal court (British English) or court of second instance or second instance court, is any court of law that is empowered to hear an appeal of a trial court or other lower tribunal. In most jurisdictions, the court system is divided into at least three levels: the trial court, which initially hears cases and reviews evidence and testimony to determine the facts of the case; at least one intermediate appellate court; and a supreme court (or court of last resort) which primarily reviews the decisions of the intermediate courts. A jurisdiction's supreme court is that jurisdiction's highest appellate court. Appellate courts nationwide can operate by varying rules. The authority of appellate courts to review decisions of lower courts varies widely from one jurisdiction to another. In some places, the appellate court has limited powers of review. "Generally speaking, an appellate court's judgment provides 'the final directive of the appeals courts as to the matter appealed, setting out with specificity the court's determination that the action appealed from should be affirmed, reversed, remanded or modified'".

Rumsfeld. Sergeant Emiliano Santiago, a member of the Oregon Army National Guard, had two weeks left of an 8-year agreement to serve in the National Guard when was he ordered to Afghanistan for a year or more. Sergeant Santiago sought an injunction to stop his deployment to Afghanistan while he challenged the "stop loss" order that requires him to remain in the military beyond the term of his enlistment contract. After hearing oral argument, the Ninth Circuit's three-judge panel affirmed the lower court's decision in favor of the government's argument and denied an injunction to stop Sergeant Santiago's deployment to Afghanistan. The case was heard in the moot courtroom of the University of Washington School of Law.- published: 30 Jan 2010

A federal court ruled, "The telephone metadata program exceeds the scope of what Congress has authorized and therefore violates Section 215." The NSA uses Section 215 of the Patriot Act to justify its collection of Americans' phone metadata. Thursday's court ruling determined the NSA went too far with its information collection. The timing of the ruling is especially crucial as the Patriot Act is set to expire June 1, unless Congress acts. If it does expire, NSA officials said they would not collect phone metadata unless it was renewed. This appellate federal court ruling comes after a December 2013 ruling from a judge who decided the NSA's metadata collection was legal. The lawsuit was brought on by the American Civil Liberties Union. Listed defendants include Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, NSA Director Michael Rogers, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, new Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey.- published: 07 May 2015
