“Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God.”

Before you get all statist on me here note that Thomas Jefferson wanted “Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God” to be our national motto.

That said, resistance to a tyrannical court order is an act of patriotism.

At this point Apple is exercising their right to petition redress through the courts but if that fails it won’t take too much for Apple to simply up and move offshore and then ignore the US court order.

Oh, that would be AWFUL. Their manufacturing is already offshore (remember their poor contract workers jumping off the factory roofs?), as likely is most of their cash, hmmmmm? What would we really have to lose? Their domestic jihadi connection?

I agree, but I don't believe the court is being "tyrannical" here. I believe they have issued that order in accordance with long standing and accepted practices of law.

I think Apple has distorted the facts of what they have been ordered to do.
