Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of law, culture, technology, and politics. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.

On Monday the Bush administration appealed its loss in the AT&T/NSA 
wiretapping case to the 9th Circuit. U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker 
had ruled on July 20 that EFF's case alleging illegal cooperation with 
the NSA could proceed.

I've placed some of the briefs filed today online here:

Also on a personal note, CNET News.com and the California First 
Amendment Coalition won permission from Walker today to file an amicus 
brief. For background on that point:
