This is just so egregiously unconstitutional that my mind cannot deal with it! Who paid these "representatives" to propose and pass this "legislation"? I'll bet FOX "News" was one of them...
Add this capability to their firearms as well. "Gee your honor, there is no camera footage. I didn't taser the subject. I shot him with my 9mm gun...".
Ok Mr. Prosecutor. If this is going to be the case, then you will naturally make all of your personal and private communications (not to mention job-related stuff) available online for us, your employers, to review, correct?
"But if Petraeus does get indicted, perhaps we should start a new campaign: "Save David Petreaus! Repeal the Espionage Act!"" Nah, I say the new campaign should be "Indict John Brennan, Leon Panetta, and John Rizzo for espionage! No Favoritism! They did the crime. Let them do the time!"
Personally, good reading and maths skills are probably the best way to get these kids into college and decent paying jobs. Coding? Unless you have a good foundation in math and boolean logic, you are only going to generate the code that led to the the hackability of Target and Home Depot, amongst others.

"The latest example of this dysfunction is the ongoing feud between Dish Network and Fox News, which resulted in Dish customers losing access to both Fox News Channel and Fox Business Channel roughly a week ago."
And this is bad, why? Fox is a worthless bit of junk that just fills the pockets of Rupert Murdock. I say, leave it off the air. Most Fox watchers will enjoy a sudden boost to their IQ's...
Comcrap's "deals" are usually accompanied with caveat after caveat! $10 per month? It probably gets you about 2mbps and a 1GB data cap! Gotta wonder what overage will cost you... This deal with TW has to be stopped!
