If the ruling holds

You don't need a goddamned ruling to determine that something which was illegal and they knew it was illegal is suddenly illegal. The ruling means that they don't get an exemption.

They're not going to stop.

Since when do rulings matter for gov't agencies? It's all bullshit theatre. If this particular spying program is deemed illegal they'll just use one of the other hundreds they have going in parallel and recycle this one under a new name. Who takes this shit seriously? There's no rule of law for the government.
