and here is the live interview the WH was watching when they decided to phone this man.

Actually no.  They "did" nothing.  They are on the right side, but the ruling still stands.  As the article says, it will take an act of congress to overturn the idiots in their own library.

In post-Soviet Russia, you own your phone.

In the United States, your phone owns you...

Some time ago, when our 'representatives' decided to stop representing us & let 'staff' take care of it.

'Laws' now are just laundry lists of desires with instructions to somebody else to just make them happen - "The Secretary shall make a Unicorn, using whatever means necessary".  Perfect for the lazy bastards 'cause they can always claim "we didn't mean that sort of Unicorn" and not a damn thing any of them can or will do about it.

We're fucked.  Basically.

What Obama should do- say he will auto-pardon anyone convicted of this, and refuse to enforce this law.

Sadly, the shit that happens there often gets exported and we have to suffer the consequences because our government has no balls.

Somebody said that's because we have a female prime minister, but frankly, given her blatant lies, deceit and backstabbing, she has bigger balls than the male pollies who pretend to serve the nation.
