Some of the clearest articulation on the matter I have ever read. I'm proud to see Bruce in such a high-profile magazine.

"Third, this assertion leads to absurd conclusions. Mandatory cameras in bedrooms could become okay, as long as there were rules governing when the government could look at the recordings."

I also thought his explanation for why this stuff is unconstitutional, and more importantly, immoral, was one of the clearest I've read online. I hope he gets called to Congress hearings so they hear him say the same things there, too.
