Scot Kelly said that if the earth was flat, the edge would be the coolest place for people to visit. People would go there on vacation to look over the edge.
A ruling won't give them a capability. If they had that, they could simply get a warrant to examine the phone (which a judge would probably grant with no problems) and do it themselves. But they don't know how. Celebrite knows how but probably doesn't want to hand trade secrets out when that would lose them future business.
The FBI doesn't want to start a race where they figure out how to crack a phone and Apple just builds a better phone. The FBI wants to make things so uncomfortable for Apple that they just stop the security improvements and leave a back door for law enforcement.
Apple (and everyone else) have far fewer rights in China than in the USA. Apple would just realize the futility of resisting a request over there. Perhaps the FBI thinks that it's too bad we have rights that they don't in China.
An educated, financially independent population with their own ideas and plenty of time to free time to implement them is not what incumbents want, as such people are harder to control.
It's not just control. It's also a matter of selling that control to the highest bidder. Our election cycle is set up so that the big media outlets can extract significant amounts of cash from candidates in return for a reliable voting block. We still conduct major elections on a timetable designed in the days when candidates would have to ride on horseback or railroads to reach out to the populace. Why? Because time is money. And you can extract far more for continuous advertising sold over six months or a year than for a campaign lasting a few weeks.
Mainstream media doesn't want a critical thinking voter base. Because that would reduce the value (and revenue) for each potential voter. They just want stories cleared through themselves as 'real news'. For a fee, of course.

But I don't like knock-knock jokes, so I said nothing.

We should have searched it for Chuck Berry recordings.

It's good that you qualified that statement. We could catch it with a manhole cover.

Too bad this didn't happen in China.

That's still Operation Plumbbob
So, did the engineer go home and commit Sudoku?
There can be only one.
American southern accent
But that's full of French and Spanish influence. Northern American has more German and Norwegian influence.
Bollocks!
Drop their games and play something else. Go outside and kick a soccer ball around.
