Sometimes it's hard to be proud of being a Jew. I was just reading an article in the Jewish Press about a "Rabbi" in Atlanta who is suing the US government claiming his right to clergy client confidentiality is being breached by the US government monitoring calls overseas with terrorists.

Shame on you Rabbi Lebow.  And shame on your congregants at Temple Kol Emeth
for not firing him.   This is a matter of national security.  The Rabbi know no one is listening on his phone calls.  At least they aren't if he isn't on the phone calling Iraq to to talk to known terrorists.  Something tells me that Osam Bin Ladn isn't asking Reform for religious advice. 

One of the rules of American Law is that in order to sue the plaintiff has to have standing, which typically means you have to be directly affected by the law you are suing to overturn.  This means as the NSA is not listening to the good Rabbi's domestic calls with his congregants he has no right to file a lawsuit.

The courts should throw this bogus lawsuit out and fine the Rabbi and his congregatior for court costs, the legal costs of the NSA defending this bogus suit and fine him for wasting the time of the court and the NSA.  I don't know if we have this type of loser pays rules in Federal Court, but if we don't Congress should change the law to make people pay for these bogus political lawsuits.

This Rabbi is an embarrassment to the Jewish people.  If he wants to be a far left anti American radical, that is his right under the first amendment.  It's also the right of the Jewish people to condemn him and remove him from our midst.  Temple Kol Emeth should do the right thing and remove him as their "Rabbi" and make it clear America's Jewish community stands with America in its fight against terror.
