A question...
...for Mr. Comey.
Given that you believe that no communication, verbal, electronic or otherwise, and in extrapolation no communicated thought, feeling or memory, is a protected characteristic of a citizens rights, what, precisely, is your agency protecting?
If you dare answer with the word liberty once again then you need to do some hard thinking about what that, and similar terms, actually mean.
In the interim might I suggest you get a big tarpaulin, sling it over the statue in the harbor (you've forgotten about it, haven't you?) and pop a sign on it that says "Out of Order" until further notice.
Wake up, re-read the constitution, examine your history and remember who you actually want to be.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
