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."

    Nice to see that the good guys won. Now the big test: will these guys be as vigilant about protecting our privacy as they've been at protecting their own? At least they're aware of the issue.

    Interestingly, on my InstaPundit.Com site, once I mentioned this issue I started getting a lot of traffic from the Administrative Office's domain. I wonder if they realized that I was watching them too?
