Big Brother Won't Watch Judges

The good guys win! You may remember Tuesday's story about whether internet surveillance should extend to judges and their staff. Good news. As James Tyre writes in a detailed summary over on our website at censorware.net, "How can we be at the end when today is September 7, but the Judicial Conference does not meet until September 11? Because the AO [the Administrative Office of the Courts] blinked, caved, gave up, threw in the towel, that's how."

They rule time and again that employers have the right to monitor every aspect of their employees existance while at work, but they get their judicial panties in a bunch the moment someone suggests that the same standard should apply to them. Do you think this will change anything for the average Joe? Quite frankly, I don't see this as a victory at all. I think every federal employee, from the lowliest secretary to the President should be subjected to the same standard the rest of us have to follow. Moreover, since those employees are essentially my employees, I want full access to their web logs and archived E-Mail.
