If I had to bet, he probably got bored after he stopped beating his wife. When did you embark on your hobby of begging questions?
- trevelyan 13y agoYes. The question was intended to bait Thomas into confirming his opposition to warrantless surveillance without probable cause and judicial review. He has not yet expressed this opinion and I do not see why he cannot unless he disagrees with it.
- tptacek 13y agoWe should be able to interrogate news stories without requiring everyone on the thread to declare their biases; in fact, overtly avoiding those declarations seems like good "thread discipline" to me. Are we talking about the facts and issues that follow from the facts, or are we echoing our biases off each other? I want to know what's actually happening, not what HN thinks must be happening.
