That the Reps did *exactly that* when they had both houses and the presidency and use executive orders to avoid even that risk of loss doesn't get used.
Yes! Was the first thing I thought of, what with last night's episode and all. Kind of reminds me of the season of 24 recently where the bad guys had a magical device that could hack through the defenses of a nuclear power plant, and two days later there was a/. story basically saying "No, that's not possible...nothing to see here...":P
And on top of that, they didn't do anything until a sitting Senator starting getting these calls. Evidently it's OK if the great unwashed get the ever living crap annoyed out of them, but how *dare* they call the elite with that crap.
I can hear the confusion from here. Do we side with the EFF, because they take up the good fight of defending our essential digital liberties, or do we side with Apple, because they make nifty-keen little gadgets?

It's too bad I don't get mod points anymore. You need more :)
But hey, I am just one of those dirty freedom loving liberals.
Hence the "Flamebait" mod. Seriously, that particular mod seems only to say "I Disagree" nowadays...

The fact we choose our lawmakers by vote does not change the fact the Law still reigns supreme above all (even the government itself).
You must be new here.
I don't know. Could you repeat the question?
Holy $DIETY. That site made my brain bleed.
Yeah... haven't you heard? Laws are for the "little people", not for the all-knowing, all-caring Government.

The best handset is a M1911.
I know this!
Forget about the virgins. We're out of virgins.
Parent is redundant.

They're still pissed about Jack Bauer raiding the Consulate and killing their Consul.
Here's one, for starters: Columbia Tribune
I've seen two of the three documents alleged in the parent post, but they are at home and I am not.
Obama may be being stupid about it but he wasn't the president when the crime was committed....
Isn't the crime still being committed now? Is Obama not the President?
Also "Tellurian" as a word for people from the planet Earth (Tellus). Earthling is weaksauce.
I prefer Tau'ri, personally...
No, you're going to the *special* hell, the one reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.
Dude, your side won. Move on.
Seattle Fried Chicken?
See, that's just it. He *didn't* spend years campaigning - in fact, two years ago most people had no idea who Barack Obama was.
THIS.
Where are my mod points when I want them?
Am I right in thinking that a company doing this would, in general, be entirely legal in the US?
No...no, you're not.
False. The laws vary wildly from state to state. Where I live in California, all parties being recorded must be aware of the recording.
Not that I disbelieve you, but how would evidence gathered "wearing a wire" be admissible in court?
