Google Gives the US Government Access To Gmail

schliz writes "Google condemns the Chinese Government for censoring its results, and Australia for planning to do the same. Meanwhile, its lawyers and security experts have told employees to 'be intentionally vague about whether or not we've given access to end-user accounts,' according to engineer James Tarquin, hinting that Google may be sharing its data with the US government. Perhaps Australia's most hated communications minister, Steven Conroy, could be right in his criticism of Google's privacy record after all."

    If SCOTUS can justify overturning . . . without citing precedence or any case law

    SCOTUS is supposed to hold the law as written in higher regard than previous ruling on it.

    Otherwise none of the terrible supreme court decisions could ever be overturned.
