Some discussion after the fold:
There are two, independent issues:
1) Is the current interpretation of the law what Congress intended?
2) Is the bulk collection a reasonable search under the 4th amendment?
About 23 minutes in, one of the three judges showed that he was concerned that there doesn't appear to be any end to what can be collected. This implies that the court is concerned whether the bulk connection of data is a "reasonable search". It will be interesting to see the text of the court ruling.
