Re:Sen. Al Franken's Letter To Steve Jobs About iPhone Tracking by jason_slack on Thursday April 21, 2011 @04:32PM (#2472248)
When a Senator sends such a letter, is Apple (or any company) obligated to respond? Can't they just read it, get a good chuckle and file it in the "circular file".

How does this Senator think he has any position to just whip off a letter. Are there not more important issues in Minnesota...

No (assuming it isn't a subpoena, which this isn't).

Yes.

He has just as much position to whip off a letter to Steve Jobs as anyone else, though his letterhead means he's probably less likely to receive a "no big deal" response.

That's for the voters in Minnesota to decide.
