Why should I have to use crypto? Why can't the government get a search warrant or goto a judge if they want to see my emails.
If I don't like something about the government, its my duty to try and change that. Thats what patriotism is about. Fighting for whats right, not being a passive wuss. Sure, I may use crypto for now if I need or want to, but that shouldn't stop me, or the community, from fighting unconstitutional laws.

I didn't hear his swearing in personally, but I'll bet part of his oath was to uphold the Constitution..
How many cases will he have to lose on grounds that he acted unconstitutionally before someone takes action to remove him from office?
