Earlier this afternoon, a federal judge ordered the NSA to immediately stop its domestic wiretapping program. On a conference call with plaintiffs in the case, a lawyer for the ACLU has said government lawyers have already informed him they would ask the court to stay the injunction.

“We already got a call from the government saying they are going to seek a stay from the district court,” Jameel Jaffer told reporters. “We expect that to happen this afternoon.”

Update: A Justice Department spokesman declined to confirm this. “I don’t know. We have not put out anything,” he told me. “We are working right now on putting together our response.”
