Judges Challenge IP Wiretap Rules

WebHostingGuy writes to mention an MSNBC article on an appeals panel harshly challenging the Bush administration's wiretap policies. New rules from the FCC would make it easier for police and FBI agents to wiretap IP-based phone conversations. From the article: "At [one] point in the hearing, Edwards told the FCC's lawyer that his arguments were 'gobbledygook' and 'nonsense.' The court's decision was expected within several months. In an unrelated case last year affecting digital television, two of the same three judges determined the FCC had significantly exceeded its authority and threw out new government rules requiring anti-piracy devices in new video devices. Lewis was also the losing lawyer in that case, and Edwards also was impassioned then in his criticisms of the FCC."

mod informative, please

I for one found this informative. The summary and article use the terms gobbledygook. Sure, it's not entirely on topic, but I find the etymology interesting, and a case can be made that it is on topic, as it was a politician who originally invented the phrase.

If you really must mod someone offtopic, go ahead and mod me down. I've got karma to burn.
