(1,301 posts)you ignore my arguments, you offer nothing other than "the law is the law".
is it not true that where the wording of the law is open to even the slightest ambiguity that lawyers will argue over those details and make it say anything they want.
this is not meant as a insult, more a fact, and some grudging admiration on my part.
if you want i really will dig up examples from court cases, and supreme court decisions that show exactly these arguments, and the supreme court allowing the law to be used in the opposite way most people read or thought it was intended, precisely due to these ambiguities.
you do not address at all my argument in relation to the 3 month warrants that were repeatedly renewed for 7 years.
you also do not address the fact that you were wrong about the law when it came to privacy and emails stored for longer than 3 months.
so i repeat, you only preach blind trust, you appeal to authority, and your writing is exactly that, a lot of flair but very little actual argument beyond "the law is the law". this may work on fools and children, but this adult requires a little more from you before accepting you do infact speak with some authority.
