A gutsy call by Apple

On Tuesday, Apple's top lawyer, Bruce Sewell, will testify before the House Judiciary Committee, and he is expected to encourage Congress to pass laws that would make the FBI's request moot.

"The decisions should be made by you and your colleagues as representatives of the people, rather than through a warrant request based on a 220-year-old-statute," Sewell will say as part of his prepared remarks.

Before Sewell testifies, the committee will hear testimony from Apple's nemesis over the past three weeks, FBI director James Comey.

Yes, fight the illegal assumption of judicial power. It's time to fix the  Swamp, if not shut it down.
