@normative@emptywheel has that withstood a 4th amendment challenge? -
@jsalsman@emptywheel Why would you challenge a statute that imposes higher requirements that the Fourth Amendment does? -
@normative I think you read the statute differently than me. It's like a triple negative.@jsalsman -
@emptywheel Or like 4 nested negatives. General prohibition on seizing journo work product, UNLESS related to a suspected crime by journo -
@normative UNLESS related to national defense. Also, subpoena clause ALSO permitted it. -
@emptywheel UNLESS the information relates to national security or is child pornography. -
