> they say it's legislator's job to fix it.

This response from the courts is maddening to me, since the courts invented QI. It’s your damn problem, clean it up yourself!

I mean, at this point I’ll take anyone who will clean it up, but it’s such a shameful passing of the buck.

it's funny, there is no prior legal framework for this and the judiciary isn't supposed to magic things out of their dignified assholes, but there it is. legislation really needs to lay down the law here, if anywhere. a no-knock warrant on one of our congress-critters ending in execution-by-cop might fix it.

yes i am angry.

The Supreme Court doesn’t actually see it as a problem. It’s entirely consistent with their conservative ideology.
