"The provision at issue is Section 505 of the USA Patriot Act. It allows the Federal Bureau of Investigation to demand certain information about customers and subscribers from email and Internet service providers (ISPs) -- without any judicial oversight or public review.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), along with an anonymous ISP, challenged the provision on the grounds that it violates the First Amendment and the Fourth Amendment."
