- zelcon5 11y agoTime is relevant. It should not be treated like a footnote in considering the importance of certain laws. If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, I think he would have used military force against Apple, or at the very least threatened Tim Cook to a duel. To answer your question, the judges should cite their own judgement.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoHm. Maybe Adams. It was Jefferson who pardoned those Adams imprisoned for sedition.
- stickfigure 11y agoThat you mischaracterize Jefferson as a duelist suggests that you are not sufficiently well versed in history to judge its value.
- jibalt 11y agoSo your argument is that, because a lot of time has passed since the All Writs Law was passed, judges should take it to mean whatever they want it to mean. On that bit about you seeing what all others fail to see, I suggest that you look up "The Dunning-Kruger Effect".
