4A & The Cloud

How does the 4th Amendment apply to cloud computing? The law ought to err on the side of privacy. And I just had to make a comment:

Re automatic weapons v. the 2nd Amendment, it is very cut and dried. The people were intended to have access to the same weapons as the military, because the people themselves were intended to be the country's defense. The only fuzzy category of weapons is of the nuclear type -- most people couldn't afford those anyway, though. Hell, I don't trust the government to have military weapons! They have a monopoly of force. Things would be much better off if the thugs in charge couldn't muscle the people around so much.

Re Roe v. Wade: the issue is if the unborn infant is a full-fledged human or not, with all the rights and privileges thereof, because if it were, terminating it is malum in se. And since there's no practical difference between a child just before and just after birth, nor is there a logical and consistent way to delineate a clear point in gestation where one's humanity begins, it must in fact be at conception. However, as a society we make trade-offs: for example, we execute criminals who are a quantifiable threat to society (for non-supporters of capital punishment, an executed life sentence is virtually the same effect). Most of us do not consider that malum in se. If there's any argument for abortion it must be a rationale for trading an infant's life for a comparable objective (such as saving the life of the mother).
