A federal judge ruled Monday that the National Security Agency program which collects information on nearly all telephone calls made to, from or within the United States is likely to be unconstitutional.

He also said the Justice Department had failed to demonstrate that collecting the so-called metadata had helped to head off terrorist attacks.
