How is this case different from the lawsuits that are challenging the surveillance of people who are believed to be communicating with members of Al Qaeda, like the one brought by the ACLU?

This lawsuit arises from the untargeted, warrantless surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans. The ACLU lawsuits challenge the targeted warrantless surveillance of specific individuals. Both the untargeted surveillance and the targeted surveillance are part of the same overall program. While portions of the warrantless wiretapping have been called the Terrorist Surveillance Program for public relations purposes, the government has admitted that this is not the full extent of the warrantless surveillance program authorized by the President.
