He's broken the law in more than one ways. Regardless of his motives, he broke the law. We can't expect to hold Trump or anyone else accountable if we cannot hold responsible those who are entrusted to protect confidential information.
- okmokmz 7y agoYes, lets all blindly follow the will of the government without thinking for ourselves and in that way the government will be held accountable... oh wait. Can you name any major movements that created change without breaking a single law? Rosa parks not sitting on the back of the bus is a great example
- jacquesm 7y ago> Rosa parks not sitting on the back of the bus is a great example Not that great an example. The only reason you know her name is because of her arrest and the lawsuit that followed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Parks#Parks_arrest_and_bus_boycott https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Parks#Parks_arrest_and_bu... Which - fortunately - does not apply to Snowden.
- okmokmz 7y agoI'm not sure what point you're trying to make with this comment; it supports my argument
- paxys 7y agoThere are times when breaking the law isn't just okay, it is absolutely essential, and this was one of them.

- viklove 7y agohttp://www.legintent.com/three-laws-weird-almost-want-break/ http://www.legintent.com/three-laws-weird-almost-want-break/ Well, I hope you're aware of all the laws that exist in this country. If you break one of them (however frivolous or unjust it may be), I hope you turn yourself in so we can hold you accountable for your crimes. Moral absolutists confuse the hell out of me. By your own admission, you deserve a prison sentence for driving a car while living in Las Vegas. Regardless of your intent, you would have broken the law (repeatedly).
