By Jody Godoy Law360, New York (November 19, 2015, 8:49 PM ET) – A lawyer and his firm fighting to have their information erased from the National Security Agency’s mass phone data collection program asked the D.C.

Today, Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch and before that Judicial Watch, and a former federal prosecutor, announced that his client, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, had filed a petition for writ of certiorari before the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit had upheld a lower court ruling by an Obama-appointed judge to dismiss Arpaio’s challenge to President Obama’s executive amnesty for over 5 million illegal aliens, on the grounds that Arpaio lacked standing (14-cv-01966).
