After all, stop and frisk is fairly above board, and people still hate it.
Huh? Stop and frisk is above board? Wasn't it just a big racist thing where they would find pot? Didn't it find guns at a lower rate than regular police work?
This has to be the hackiest spy movie I've ever heard of. I definitely would NOT pay $11.50 at the theater to see it. I might download it from Pirate Bay though.
By that logic, Snowden should have just kept his face shut, but not too many are upset about what he did. Seems to me that people shouldn't be the only ones standing up against these atrocities. Corporations (Verizon, Google, and all the others) should have put a foot down. It seems they bent over rather quickly.
I understand Google's lawyers would wet their pants, but I guess I'm not sure why Google wouldn't say, "We are sick of the government making us look like jackwagons with all this spying crap, so here is all the info on spying requests!"
Just stop asking for permission. If you think it is wrong, then push back!
I had never really heard of (or understood) exactly what a declaratory judgment was until the story earlier about Aereo going after CBS after the CBS execs threatened to sue.
Why wouldn't a company like Salesforce pursue a declaratory judgment here? Are those not used for patent cases? Seems like the perfect situation for one.
How awesome would it be to have a job where you can just recuse yourself from any difficult task you have and then when they say: "Hey, you didn't do your job. You're fired." You can just reply: "No, I recused myself."
Hold up. If we are banning video games because the glorify guns, then we definitely need to ban the NRA because no one glorifies guns more than they do.
You have a department charged with regulating our country's financial sector. It is run entirely by lawyers. Is anyone shocked that it is chock full of insane rules that have nothing to do with finance?
I had heard of the Berne Convention, but never really investigated it. Wonder what kind of catastrophic event it would take to get it revisited. It seems like it really bludgeons the public's ability to utilize their culture. Very unfortunate.
