I'll ask the obvious question in the current environment: What circumstances do you believe create ethical grounds to steal confidential information and release it to the public? What similarities or differences do you see in what the Citizens' Commission did and what Snowden did?

Do you think your case that won at the Supreme Court in Mitchell v. Forsyth has served at all as a deterrent to violations of citizens' Fourth Amendment rights by Cabinet officers? If not, why do you suppose that is?
