Hooray, I was wrong about the wiretapping!

A federal judge ruled that the NSA wiretapping is unconstitutional, and ordered that it be stopped immediately. The DOJ is predictably appealing the ruling. I hope I'm not proven right anyway in the next few months - will U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor fall down and break her crown? Will the wiretapping just continue in secret? When was the last time the constitution or case law meant anything? We live in a country where the President signs bills that haven't been passed by Congress, ignores laws that he has passed, pays $1.6 billion for fake news - when $3 trillion or whatever it is go missing from the Pentagon, and nobody gets in trouble, the sky's the limit!
