“Here’s the difference: Apple and Google don’t have coercive power. District attorneys do, the FBI does, the NSA does, and to me it’s very simple to draw a privacy balance when it comes to law enforcement and privacy: just follow the damn Constitution.”

I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a prominent Democrat(ok, maybe he’s not prominent) actually fully get/understand the difference between private & voluntary data collection and involuntary; and then actually defend private corporations using that understanding.

Kudos to him.

Though it does seem that there’s a lot of liberal Apple fan boys. Google, not so much.

Ditto that. When government does not follow The Rule Book, it’s is called tyranny.

LMAO…FITS has finally found some affection for the Constitution…that did not DEMAND Due Process for Child-killing combatant Jihadists….and it’s a DEMOCRAT he’s praising….

Any wonder the country is in a F*#king mess…when you have people like FITS who are allowed to vote???

Hello, Baltimore: The NSA is only a few miles from your city hall. The NSA is apparently so hunched over their machines collecting information they don’t have time to analyze and act on it. The NSA didn’t have a f**ng clue what was brewing on its doorstep — until the first cop was hit with a brick and the first building burned.

I had a very low opinion of the whistleblower Edward Snowden when he was first exposed. I am now beginning to believe that he may have been a couple of steps ahead of us dumbasses.

Yeah, I was torn, too. … Now? I’m still torn but I sympathize with the need for full disclosure. Oh Bummer.

I read an article earlier that made me really think, based on the LAW of the land. Am I fighting for Social Equality or Liberty? I thought Liberty, but I think on the Social Side, I am fighting for Equality? I find this interesting:
