All of a sudden the democrats don't like the SCOTUS making law. This after they were lauded for saving Obamacare, rewriting the law. Writing Gay Marriage laws. Now they don't like them so much.

Supreme court grants FBI massive expansion of powers to hack computers

The US Congress has seven months to block a potentially massive expansion of the government’s ability to hack into suspects’ computers.

At the FBI’s request this week, the supreme court ruled that federal judges should be able to issue hacking warrants to federal law enforcement for anywhere in the US if the suspect has tried to hide their location, as criminal suspects are wont to do.

Additionally, the FBI could get authority to infiltrate any computer – regardless of the owner – if it has already been taken over by bad hackers.

I read it was 1984 and the government can actually read your mind.

They get closer by the day. We are animals and not that hard to figure out. If you want privacy, don't speak, or own a computer connected to the Internet.

Our govt no longer functions as a constitutional republic. Different branches are supposed to prevent each other from accumulating unconstitutional power...now all they do is grant each other more.
