The US Supreme Court, which by definition does not enact things, it only unenacts things by interpreting the US Constitution, is not what people are talking about when they say "the government". When people talk about "the government" here, they mean the Executive and Legislative branches (President+DOJ and Congress), but mostly they mean law enforcement and those who enable them. Local and federal law enforcement do not want you to have privacy.
- paulmd 7y agoThe US Supreme Court absolutely does enact things. For example, "tests" to interpret some other law or policy, which then gain the force of law. Or sometimes directly, as in "it would be discriminatory not to do X", and then everyone needs to do X. It would be more proper to say they can't enact something except in the furtherance of another compelling interest.
