    Yes, you can, idiot boy.

    It is valuable to know that the NSA was tracking every phone number dialed in America. Who called who.

    And yet, nobody was killed because we found out the NSA was doing this.

    Hell, the NSA thinks MAYBE all these phone numbers assisted with 2 terrorist related events. At least, that's what they told Congress, under oath.

    Of course, the FBI is going "whee!"

    Yes, they will go for requiring backdoors into everything. It is no surprise that ever since Hoover was in charge, the FBI loves backdooring anything and anyone they can.

  5. Of course regular "little people" consumers still had to pay the regular full rate...

    No, only Tesla's come equipped with this life-saving technology. Everybody else installs a large spike in front of each seating position, covered by a faulty airbag.

    The judge has immunity, so he has nobody to sue [as the police/prosecutor haven't charged him with anything or jailed him prior to him being found in contempt]. And it is my understanding that it is extremely difficult to get another judge, even from a higher court, to overturn a contempt of court finding, so he is screwed.

    And for all intents and purposes, he is being forced. If he had a regular job, that would be gone, same with an apartment and any possessions there [can't exactly pay rent/utilities from jail, indefinitely, with no source of income]. And of course now his name is associated with child pornography, an excellent scarlet letter, and being in jail this long without decoding it, most people will just assume he's guilty.

    It's just a tiny little step to go from this to "confess or be jailed indefinitely".
