And as an attorney, I’m still trying to figure out the nexus for a university to investigate your private life for incidents unrelated to, say, a witnessed violation like cheating on an exam or when adjudicating a victim report.Ad in the latter, honor code is entirely unrelated - there should be a Chinese wall.

Just reading through all of this very difficult reporting now, but as a former Federal sex crimes prosecutor, that language was so obviously deliberate. Facts and circumstances is legal language meaning all the various contributing factors to establish scientia or knowledge. They treat this as if students, young…

To say this, you don’t know Cruz. This is intentional symbolism - he’s just a very awkward, weird person who has no ability to relate to other human beings. And he’s a crazy micro-manager. He would have at least been briefed, but very likely at a minimum pre-reads his speeches.

MARYLAND. Sheesh, it’s like you people don’t even drive here. It’s Maryland drivers IN DC who are the problems.

First of all, Maryland drivers are THE worst, guy, c’mon. It’s like you didn’t even drive here at all not knowing that.

Hit wrong key.

But it also makes Apple look weak—for all its talk about security, it still left flaws discoverable for shadowy freelance hackers.

Huh? That is not what 1201 says, nor is it how the courts - even recently - have interpreted it to say.

Uhhh, we do have laws in this country. NSA is not exactly in existence to hack American’s technology, their mission is entirely different. Just because you all discovered a few years ago that there are thousands of computer-savvy personnel at a government building in Maryland, doesn’t mean they’re always at the beck &…

Point of fact, the Post story flat out said that Cellebrite was not the party. There’s no ambiguity there.

I’m shocked that you think there is support or momentum for doing what you outline.

It’s not a bill, it’s a discussion draft that got leaked. It’s not going anywhere.

As a former prosecutor, let me assure you, “hate crimes” are not favored by prosecutors. The law was lobbied into being by victims rights groups. I’d argue it’s a breath from unconstitutional, but all “hate crime” does is increase penalties or provide an aggravating circumstance. So let’s say a group of men beat up a…

Actually, to make your point, you’d have to argue that patriarchy IS personal, not political. If it’s apolitical, then it’s specific pertaining to a circumstance, but you can’t call it not general and also not specific. Unless you’re just arguing it’s random.

“o long as she’s not being an asshole about it?” What the almighty hell does that mean? You get to spend her earned money as you like with no parameters?

They can have as much access as they want with proper legal orders, that is not the issue, though it keeps getting conflated. And there is a problem with your analogy of singular access versus plural - A warrant gives you singular access. It does not, will not, cannot compel a company to create a masterkey to be used…

You’re a real piece of work.

Childish? Sweetheart, you gotta toughen up or you’re gonna have a tough year. Politics don’t involve emotions. They aren’t for the faint of heart. Your overly sensitive replies here show that you’re a bit green (and that you may not know much about Mrs. Clinton).

But it wasn’t an idle mistake. It was an atrociously absurd thing to attribute to people who absolutely effected the death of countless Americans due to bigotry. And anyone of any age, let’s call it 25 - 90 knows that. And if for example, you are that unaware and didn’t know it, all you’d ever have to have done is…

So she apologized then went on to lecture all of us about the truth, a truth most people were aware of and informed her of? God, I’m so sick of her bumbling and lopsided tactics. I know we have to love her or else it’s the end of America and Western civilization, but she is stunningly unimpressive.
