from the original post:

Here's where it gets interesting.

 

In January 2006, the Electronic Frontier Foundation sued AT&T for allowing the NSA to spy on its customers without a warrant. Huge case, went through a bunch of appeals.

 

The US wanted to invoke the state secrets privilege to get it dismissed, and they tried, but before they needed to, in 2008, Congress passed the FISA Amendments Act (what a coincidence!) that gave AT&T retroactive immunity.
