    You are aware the the Constitution is a piece of paper that is open to interpretation, and in times of crisis, is easily avoided/manipulated, and history proves that over and over. This is a case where the Director of an Agency under the umbrella of the Department of Justice under the current Administration is now seen in overreach by Congress, and at least one Federal Magistrate. That is how our system of government survives and evolves. There isn't any Constitutional purity simply for temporal reasons; the Founding Fathers wouldn't have any idea of the future beyond at most a vague few decades. 
    "You are aware the the Constitution is a piece of paper that is open to interpretation" - NO IT IS NOT !!!!  Just because elected officials or appointed ones side step it does not make it right.

    Amendment IV - It says the government can "search" and "seize" with a warrant but not that we must provide them the means to accomplish that.

    The people who wrote the Constitution knew exactly what they were writing.  It is straight forward and not open to "interpretation" by those who wish to find a way around it.

    ... You also should be aware that there wouldn't be a sitting President who would give up National security for Citizen privacy; the downsides of failure in National Security are too massive for a President not to. So this is a perfect case of how the balance of power works for the three branches of government. I would add that FBI Director Comey was appointed by President George W. Bush.

    U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch weighed in on Apple's fight with the FBI on Tuesday, saying she would prefer that Apple comply with the recent court order directing the company to unlock the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone.
    ...
    "It is still our hope that they will see their way clear to complying with that order as thousands of other companies do every day," Lynch said, as noted by Reuters. The comment comes ahead of a scheduled appearance at a Silicon Valley cybersecurity conference.

    With rumors floated that President Obama may submit er to be Justice Scalias replacement on the SCOTUS, I do believe she just disqualified herself.

    "US Attorney General 'hopes' "  That says it all right there.  It almost smells like a veiled threat.

    Keep on hoping, we already see where "hope" got us over the last 7 years.

    For all those who support the FBI answer this question:

    Would you allow the USA government to put a tracking device on the wrist of every single person on USA soil?

    The device would have to be worn 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The device would be locked on your wrist and almost impossible to take off by a regular citizen. If you take it off you can be sent to jail. It would track everywhere you go, everyone you speak to, and even record conversations. But such a device would decrease crime and probably would have stopped this recent terrorist attack in California. We should do everything to stop terrorism right?  Even if it means giving up some liberty and privacy?

    Isn't that right FBI supporters?


    We already carry it in our pockets...it is called a phone.
