  No, wait. I meant tragic.

  Typical

  This is the Republican MO these days. Prove that government doesn't work by appointing spectacularly unqualified people to fail us.

  Whatever the purpose of trademark has become in modern times, I doubt the framers had intended it to simply create busy work for lawyers and USPTO employees.
  
  Spoken like someone who has never had to justify their job.

• On the post: Vox: If The Clinton Email Scandal Has Taught Us Nothing Else, It's That Email Should Be Exempt From FOIA Requests

  Re: Re: Re: Jeebus Tim

  The FBI's conclusion was (roughly) that she did plenty "wrong" but nothing that merited an indictment.
  
  Comey has backed down on every 'wrong' when pressed (likely because Powell, and indeed the entire Bush team, was FAR more egregious. Hillary actually complied with FOIA.)

  Re: Re: Jeebus Tim

  no it seems the intent was there, the ability to achieve the goal seems to be lacking. The emails we are hearing about now were deleted, just not irretrievable.
  
  Facts not in evidence.

  Jeebus Tim

  - She deployed her own private email server despite being warned against doing so, and while receiving input from other officials who hinted it might be a good way to route around public record requirements.
  
  While Powell *advised* her to to route around FOIA, like he did (page 11 of the FBI notes) she obviously did not do that or we wouldn't be hearing about her emails all the damn time.
  
  Running your own email server is rarely a good idea, but let's not imply motives contrary to her actions.

• On the post: Supreme Court Says Government Can't Take Your Money And Lock You Out Of Your Choice In Representation

  

  ChurchHatesTucker ( profile ), 11 Apr, 2016 @ 01:12pm

  The Frak?

  allowing defendants to pay for representation out of funds on hand will only encourage criminals to spend ill-gotten gains faster in hopes of denying sought retribution while availing itself of the most expensive defense lawyers they can afford.
  
  Oh, you want to mount a vigorous defense? You're robbing the victims!

• On the post: Reddit's Warrant Canary On National Security Letters… Disappears

  

  ChurchHatesTucker ( profile ), 01 Apr, 2016 @ 07:42am

  He sure did

  Reddit's CEO Steve Huffman responded in the comments in a manner that doesn't totally clear anything up at all
  
  In context he was perfectly clear. "I've been advised not to say anything one way or the other." The only reason he'd be advised not to answer that question is if they had received an NSL.

  Not just that

  He points out that the only thing that has truly helped stop another 9/11-style plane hijacking (as Bruce Schneier points out repeatedly) is not the TSA security theater, but reinforced, locked cockpit doors that make it impossible for people in the cabin to get into the cockpit.
  
  What really stopped another 9/11 is the passengers realizing that hijackings were no longer unscheduled Cuban vacations. The threat ended in a field in Pennsylvania. (see, e.g., the shoe bomber, the underwear bomber, etc.)

  Sounds familiar

  It's like the recent hue and cry over "election fraud" that's really aimed at preventing the wrong people from voting. This is about the wrong price from prevailing.
