[QUOTE="Paco Smithereens, post: 12126, member: 236"] It is more likely they won't walk it back because it would make the Supreme Court look like it is susceptible to bullying. I'd say, the opinion was more likely to be revised and revisited before the leak. It's not that I think the Supreme Court is courageous; it is that they are up their own ass enough to protect the institution's independence by not changing course, but of course, we will see for sure. My long-shot hope is that this could lead to an amendment to the US Constitution explicitly protecting privacy in a way which will cover things far beyond abortion, although squaring a right to privacy with the First Amendment is going to be difficult. Still, I'd love for the people who continually seek to undermine encryption to have to face off against something that is explicit, rather than a vague mirage in the "penumbras and emanations," which is where Roe's half-assed right to privacy was found. As for abortion, this is an unbridgeable chasm. If you believe the unborn are full human lives, nothing short of defending that life at all costs will suffice. If you believe it is not, you are fighting against the state deciding it has sovereignty over your own body. Neither of which are negotiable to either side. Still, I think the Supreme Court can't walk it back now and preserve their little castle at the top. I had a few pre-law classes in college and the way the general public views the Supreme Court, and the way people in law view it, are very different things. To at least some law professors, the Supreme Court is akin to the Vatican. Or something. [/QUOTE]
