Don't you think that would end up like the patent office? Rubber stamps for everyone... I think a far more effective solution would be to require all laws be version controlled on a publicly available site. Something like github for Co

According to everything I've read on the subject, including today's revelation that NSA is recording 80% of all phone calls, is that NSA grabs from the backbone. They do not have monitoring installed at endpoints. That would be ex
