[history]
Recently, several memos drafted by Senate Democrats have been leaked to the press. One memo, from the Intelligence Committee, exposes a Democrat plan to use the awesome power and resources of that committee as a political weapon against the president. The other memos detail how powerful left-wing lobbyists pressured Democrats to impermissibly oppose judicial nominations based on race and gender. Now the Democrats are outraged

"It is important to note that the memos weren't "hacked" or "stolen" due to an error committed by the Democrats' own IT personnel, the memo files were accessible to all."
How would this logic apply to an unlocked car? If someone other than an owner takes a car that was left unlocked (accessible to all), then the car wasn't stolen? What rule of law are you basing your analysis on?
Taking what is not yours is generally considered theft.

Brilliant!
You are another example how Freepers continue to beat the Rats!
Kudos!

Thanks!

"The leaked memos reveal plots to misuse government resources for partisan gain and schemes to violate judicial nominees' civil rights."
Outstanding article! I hope others note the points that you made in the sentence above.

Read up on the computer system that the Senate uses before you criticize. IT is a SHARED system accessed by everyone on the committee.
How did the Senate staffer "steal" the memos when they were accessible to all members of the committee and staff.

F-ing Brilliant piece.

A better analogy is a coat closet in an office.
Everyone can use it. Someone accidentally forgets to lock one of the closet doors and leaves an illegal gun in the closet.
A co-worker goes to put his coat away in the closet (which is not locked), and, in turn, finds the gun.
The guy reports his findings to the cops.

So basically the staffer is protected by the "whistleblower" laws?
To: jmstein7
Wow, Jonathan! You hit the big time with your Op-Ed piece in a major DC media.
There's still hope for our nation's bar of justice with our many freepers in or entering the legal profession.
I can't get enough of this wonderful stuff!

No. The staffer is protected BY the Constitution, and the Senate Dems are not protected FROM the Constitution.
