Sure, and let me know how that works when you're 1 on 1 with a playground bully 5 times your size.
Just because it isn't granted doesn't stop it from being forcibly taken. This is why armed robbery, wrong as it may be, actually works. When someone has a gun to your head you damn well better do what they say or you'll get your head blown off. Besides that, once they do so, you're dead and can't resist, so they get both your life and the goods. Sensible people would rather lose the goods than both their life and the goods, ergo, the armed robber is in charge through usage of force, and certainly NOT because the victim grants "authority", especially if they refuse to surrender.
Same way with government. They can do all sorts of things to make it very costly for you to fight back. Secret executions, indefinite "terrorist detention", or silent seizures. Just look at all the trouble poor old Kevin Trudeau has to go through with the FTC.
They can just say "we fired you cause we felt like it and it's our payroll so to hell with you and your failure to yield to our absolute authority to hire and fire as we damn well please"
Bosses don't have to explain anything. Period.
Read about this in a book.
Wouldn't this be a solution? They say it's fundamentally unbreakable, even WITH quantum computing.
An idle boast? Or the solution we've finally been looking for?
An unfortunate side effect of the backlog of cases in the justice system.
Most judges already have their hands full, so they're under pressure to deal with cases rubber-stamp style and stay afloat before they drown. This includes pressures to settle, and self help encouragement. What's really going on is "we're swamped like hell and we really want you to settle it yourself"
If someone would just make it unprofitable for the lawyers to tie up the courts, then judges would breathe easier and have time to make thorough decisions.
P.S. I move for a mod-up point to the respondee for funny.

Don't get me wrong. I love the constitution, and if the government would actually stick to it like it's supposed to, we would have far fewer problems.
Much as I hate to admit it, there are still parts of the government that don't account to the people. The CIA, the NSA, and "big brother" in general.
Heh, funny you should mention that. I heard from a news channel that the feds already dropped MSFT as a supplier owing to problems with vista.

Fitting, and if it weren't so serious I would be laughing my arse off right now.

At least intel has a disclaimer stating that its hardware is "not meant for life-saving situations" or something like that.
