Over the weekend I tried to explain to former NSA lawyer @Susan_Hennessey what "shall" means.

Thanks. The rebuttal to your piece is in the portion of the statute you yourself quote. I've got nothing to add.
I've had feedback from people who know more about this than you who say I got it right. I'll take you having nothing to add as concession.

I stand by what I wrote and feel zero need to engage with your piece. You're welcome to take it however you'd like.

Yes. And I'm also welcome to keep pointing out that an NSA lawyer got the law & intent wrong while calling other people childish names.

Luckily engineers building the network you're both using for this conversation understand the definition of SHALL: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt

(and they agree with
@emptywheel)
