- AnimalMuppet 7y agoThat is far different from him having assigned the judges that will hear this case. And if you're thinking that it will wind up at the Supreme Court (which is likely), well, Trump appointed 2 out of 9. So "Trump has assigned his judges" still seems like a mis-characterization of the situation.
- 18pfsmt 7y agoAnyone that thinks the SCOTUS, as it is currently comprised, will allow for a ban on encryption has no idea what the legal doctrine of The Federalist Society is, nor what it means to be an American conservative. This is the most libertarian court we've had in decades. Talking about judges as being "assigned" is both inaccurate and betrays an ignorance of the American system.
- typeformer 7y agoIt's delusional to believe that conservative libertarians on SCOTUS would fight for encryption. Those people voted for Trump, the most protectionist, corrupt president in modern history, they are hypocrites at every level. The conservatives on SCOTUS just refused to address gerrymandering, they have no true concern for keeping democracy intact, their only concern is keeping the people who got them there happy. I have zero faith they would protect encryption.
- 18pfsmt 7y agoAre you calling me delusional? They ruled states have the freedom to design their own voting districts. State sovereignty has always been a thing in the US. I would encourage you to read the historical documents of the country where many of these constitutional arguments were had: The Federalist Papers
