"Jordan allows the government to use the evidence gathered by the FBI"
Plus, if the fbi has any sort of 'problems' they simply have to go to a different court of 'justice' which will finally 'agree' with them.
Yes, it's a narrow victory. But still, the FBI couldn't just shop for an agreeable judge. If they want a national investigation, his ruling means that they'd need a warrant from a federal judge. Which, I'm guessing, is harder to get. On the other hand, we know that the NSA does whatever it wants. And parallel construction. So truly a narrow victory. Arguably illusory.
