Hi and thank you for your work! A couple of questions:
It seems to me that part of the problem with 4th Amendment cases is that the federal laws governing technology-enhanced searches haven't been able to catch up to the advances being made in surveillance, and, by default, new technologies are allowed until legislators get around to updating the language. Do you see anyway for legislators to write a comprehensive law that addresses future, unknown technologies and do you think that a law like that would help?
(Unrelated to civil liberties) The law field is over-saturated right now. What would your advice be to someone who truly wants to become a lawyer in order to help people, but sees a job market with no possibilities?
Several cases through the ACLU's history have caused division within the ACLU, prompting members to leave. Are there any recent examples where the ACLU leadership took a case that you would not be comfortable supporting? Alternatively, do you know of any members who have left based on their principles?
