Well, the Judicial Branch just did tell Congress via US District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, but I doubt they are paying attention.
The US District Court exists because Congress says it does. It isn't until the Supreme Court of the United States says something (or declines to say something) that The Judiciary Has Spoken*. Accordingly, Congress can feel free to disregard a poorly-written decision that depends heavily on cherry-picked case law.
Of course, now US District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor is being attacked, being accused of failing to recuse herself in spite of a conflict of interest.
And rightly so.
You'd probably attack Justice Scalia of the same thing.

At this point, why would you want to stay at your present job if you need a lawyer to keep it
Ask former President Clinton.
If I'm getting harassed at my current job, not only is it actionable, but chances are I can get another job elsewhere in the same line of work.
When you're President of the United States, you don't really have any recourse when Congress (a co-equal branch) starts issuing subpoenas, nor are similar jobs readily available.
Nice bad analogy, though.

Or are you assuming I'll be using a standard sized bed and a king-size bed at the same time?
How much bigger does your barracks have to be to accommodate your king-sized bed and that of your barracks buddies?

Sorry to have used an extra $10 of taxpayer money in order to have a bit of entertainment.
$10 (you low-balled, sir; C-5s are neither inexpensive nor cheap to operate, but I'll humor you by using your number) times how many soldiers over there? Or are you the Chosen One who gets to take his luxury toys while everybody else gets standard issue?
Next time I'll strip down all my gear in order to make up for it. Who needs a second pair of socks anyway? One pair should last for 6 months or so!
The socks you can keep, as they actually serve a purpose. You can even keep your iPod, as it's pretty small.
The king bed and plasma TV, however, will have to stay back over here.

As long as it's paid for by personal funds, who are you to tell me what I can and can't take with me?
I'm the guy who's paying for the C-5 to take it over.
And don't try "Well Bush didn't sign for the ICC, so they're not party to it!" NSDAP didn't sign any Nuremberg trial treaty, but we still got Woods to fudge the gallows to strangle them to death.
I'm certainly not a fan of this Administration, but if the ICC wants to get President Bush (or any other President), they'll have to come get him.
Also refer to the recent interview by the programmer who stated he was asked to write a software which could "manipulate" the voting software by using invisible buttons on screens...
It seems pretty ridiculous to say "We guarantee our OS is secure [unless you use hardware that wasn't made by us]."
It's a good thing Apple doesn't guarantee that, then, because it would indeed be ridiculous. What they acutally said was:
"Despite SecureWorks being quoted saying the Mac is threatened by the exploit demonstrated at Black Hat, they have provided no evidence that in fact it is," Apple Director of Mac PR, Lynn Fox, told Macworld. "To the contrary, the SecureWorks demonstration used a third party USB 802.11 device-not the 802.11 hardware in the Mac-a device which uses a different chip and different software drivers than those on the Mac. Further, SecureWorks has not shared or demonstrated any code in relation to the Black Hat-demonstrated exploit that is relevant to the hardware and software that we ship."
The worst thing about it is that once you lose your liberties in this way, you almost never get them back except through bloody revolution, which is something that can no longer succeed thanks to the technological situation (which concentrates much more killing power in the hands of the government than it did back in the 1700's when most of the democratic revolutions took place).
I know.
Just look how quickly and effectively we put down the pan-Islamist uprising in Iraq.
Lord Phillips of Sudbury is quoted 'You do not secure the liberty of our country and value of our democracy by undermining them, that's the road to hell.'"
Because when I want somebody's ideas on what comprises a democracy, I ask somebody with a peerage.
There was a story last year about a student being caught releasing his ADC 10.4 developer seed, with it being tracked back to his ADC account and ultimately him.
That's because he was retarded enough to upload it from the same host from which he downloaded it from ADC.

So.
Show me a list of total hours worked per year (either per capita or gross) for a bunch of different countries so we can solve this once and for all!
What, exactly, do you think the Gross Domestic Product measures if not productivity?
I guess that's only improper when it involves people and organizations with whom you disagree, right?
Now be a good little boy and go play with your toys and let us grownups have our conversation, okay?
And rightly so.

Each branch only has as much power as it chooses to exercise.
When you're President of the United States, you don't really have any recourse when Congress (a co-equal branch) starts issuing subpoenas, nor are similar jobs readily available.

Yes! A very convincing affadavit!
Do you even bother to check your links?
I think you misspelled insipid.
Quit now while you're not so far behind.
Just look how quickly and effectively we put down the pan-Islamist uprising in Iraq.
Again, not as the result of anything Apple did.
