WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Justice Department says it will appeal a Thursday ruling that the National Security Agency's warrantless domestic surveillance program is unconstitional.
The White House also issued a statement, saying it "couldn't disagree more with this ruling.
"United States intelligence officials have confirmed that the program has helped stop terrorist attacks and saved American lives," read the statement from the White House press secretary. "The Terrorist Surveillance Program is firmly grounded in law and regularly reviewed to make sure steps are taken to protect civil liberties."
