Wow, the supreme court hasn't been sucking this year!

Too bad the NSA has a bottomless stack of blank warrants.

True. It doesn't really matter though. Technology is outpacing all law and you need to worry as much, if not more about all these damn private companies that have turned our lives into nothing more than data they can sell. No one seems to even care as long as they can FB their buddies.

Private companies are getting scary. Did you hear about Amazon's contract with the NSA to design a cloud system for all their mission intelligence? It's online now. Apparently it connects like all of the federal agencies to a cloud system that enables queries, and I'd be willing to bet that Amazon can see those queries. I mean, Amazon is so powerful, who is really working for who in that situation?

I did see that, and you're right. Why we haven't started anti-trust, monopoly busting actions against all these zillionaires by now can only be traced back to the fact that by now, they own the government. We lost our country wile we weren't paying attention.

But yet they can force you to unlock your phone via fingerprint but if you only use a passcode, they can't force you.

Roberts is really turning out to be a thoughtful justice. He doesn't give a shit that he's a "Bush appointee." He just goes for first principles and does what he believes to be correct on any given issue. Another Kennedy, let's hope. This is how the SCOTUS should work. People should dynamically side with and against the other justices on a smattering of verdicts.
