I am not a fan of Apple or Tim Crook. However, any true conservative, any one who actually believes that the Constitution means something, any one who understands that exceptions has consequences would not support the FBI in their request. If you buy something, it belongs to you, does it not? If you support this request, you are essentially saying no, only so far as the government "allows" you to own it. Apple does not have a right to do what they are being asked to do. If they do, they are essentially hacking what belongs to someone else. This would be similar (albeit not exactly the same) to selling a car but retaining the keys and using it anytime you think you should be able to use it. We call that stealing. By their response, neither Cruz nor Rubio have any claim to the description of "conservative". They are not if they support this stealing of anthers property on the say-so of some government employee. That kind of thinking, held by the British Crown, is what founded this country.
