Supreme Court limits Army civilian surveillance and wiretap challenges
The Supreme Court split 5 4 to bar trial of Army civilian surveillance begun in 1965, saying courts cannot monitor executive action and that Congress governs such matters. In a separate 5 4 ruling, the court allowed grand jury witnesses to challenge wiretap relevance, reversing several contempt convictions and upholding privacy protections while noting limits on wiretapping. The decisions also left intact a California bar rule restricting female employees from soliciting drinks.
