Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      @emptywheel Nope. I'm saying that to the extent Apple asserts lack of law as defense in court, notable that it doesn't support actual law.

      @emptywheel Commissions can be useful, but are as often stall-tactics or attempts to kill a controversial issue.

      @Susan_Hennessey @emptywheel I think it'd obvious that's exactly what Apple is doing. I hope it works.

      @Susan_Hennessey Is it the institutional view of NSA that having Congress legislate from ignorance best serves the country? @normative

      @emptywheel @normative The notion that Congress hasn't been focused on issue deemed high exec priority for years is awfully silly.

      @Susan_Hennessey Right. 18 months ago hacking was the biggest threat and we'd do anything to protect Sony. Then it changed. @normative

      @emptywheel @normative I don't see how. I think that saying "Congress decides" means Congress passes law, not faff around for another year

      @Susan_Hennessey It apparently seems unbelievable to you that Congress might not always bow to IC requests. Agree, usu is. @normative

          @emptywheel @normative So Congress should pass laws you agree with, but if they disagree they need to wait longer and learn more? Got it.

          @emptywheel @normative Also, I actually support the idea of a commission (and appeared w/ McCaul and Warner yesterday endorsing their plan).

          @emptywheel @normative But I endorse what bipartisan bill deems necessary, not Apple claiming it wants Congress to decide. It doesn't.

          @Susan_Hennessey You seem to be FAR more offended by Apple's tactical statements than FBI's equally dishonest ones. @normative

          @emptywheel @normative Maybe. Certainly think more candid sides can be about equities the better. I think gov is being pretty clear here.

          @Susan_Hennessey Moreover, that siding w/security in this case coincides with Apple does not mean I never criticize Apple. @normative
