Do not think of laypersons idea of what creativity means. Legal definition of creativity is so broad there is very little difference. If human did it and it wasn't strictly a mechanical process (like copying), if any decision / c

I extremely doubtful that an "on the way out" president would be able/allowed to do that. Hell he can't even get a SCOTUS nomination appointed, a constitutional power. He could (and must) pardon Snowden.

Couldn't read article. Hit paywall or something, didn't bother checking what just clicked "close tab" after the tenths of second it took to recognize it was not article. A reflex I've developed.
