So in context, we should cut Schmidt slack for enthusiastically following and enforcing an unjust law, and even worse, profiting from it?

His point is Google can't really make any stand about the justness of the law; they have to follow it to the letter (and, yes, help lobby for change if they want - but that is a separate issue).
His point was simple and very clear: if your doing something the law considers illegal you should be taking more care to cover your tracks, don't blame Google.

No, you're right. Instead you should quote him out of context and suggest he's saying no one should have privacy.
That seems like the smartest thing to do. Certainly gets you more up votes here.
