    Great Story. Thank you for telling it to us

    The right wing loves to demonize lawyers because they know that when we have good lawyers on our side we can battle nonsense like this.

    You mentioned the EFF. They are a great organization that has a bunch of smart lawyers working with them. I've heard some of their stories battling with the government in the AT&T case. They aren't as funny as yours, but just as chilling.

    I'm very grateful for dedicated lawyers like you pushing back against these naked power grabs from this administration.

    I hope you win. And then I hope that there are consequences for them breaking the law. They might try and pardon themselves but if the case is wrapped up after 2009 that might prove harder than they imagine.

    Good Luck!
