pull down to refresh

So I will say, having written a few pieces of legislation in the past, that a move like what we are seeing here to clarify things is very rare and new. My understanding is that we started doing it after the Chevron clause was killed in the Supreme Court.

That being said, I think that Lauren Emily is just flat out wrong with her tweet. They went after them because there was no legislation in effect that covered what was going on at the time, and this would do so. In other words, these rules supersede the 1960 law regarding coding and developer protection. I get where she is coming from with the whole they went after my husband over this statute; however, that statute does more than what he was convicted on, and so we don't just throw them away.

If this passes as is, the Samourai guys have an easy way to not only get released but also to have their records expunged.

No side is going to get entirely what they want, I mean, just look at the bank's response to this. This though is a huge win for protections that otherwise are not there. It's far from perfect, but it does a really good job. Dems also want even more protections, and there are talks that they do not like this because they think it protects developers too much.

(d) Only says, "Hey, if you create something like crypto for ISIS, all money sent here goes to ISIS." That well, ya still get in trouble. The burden on the prosecution to show someone meaningfully did something is pretty significant and not something that is easily done.

Thanks for the nuance here. Van Valkenberg had a similar take, I think.

Not a problem! This is one of those things I feel like I can actually help people understand the government better!
