Horton lists a series of Americans who have been convicted since 1902 to crimes of torture, notably involving waterboarding. He draws attention to the fact that the Bush administration admits to consenting to the practice of waterboarding and that this form of torture is a severe criminal offense in the United States. In order for democracy to prevail, the law makers cannot be the law breakers (Horton, 2008). This is the most important of Horton’s arguments. Once a governing body pursues illegal actions, there is potential that all laws will ultimately be ignored and the democratic values of a nation will disintegrate.
With all this research done on President Nixon I do believe Nixon is a crook, and Nixon should have been put in jail. When Nixon denied the courts access to the White House Videos tapes that was a red flag. Whenever someone denies access to something that means he or she has something to hide. In this case President Nixon was hiding the truth. Nixon was going to find anybody to blame but himself.
“At the moment, there is a myth in circulation, a fable that goes something like this: Radical terrorists will take advantage of our fussy legality, so we may have to suspend it to beat them. Radical terrorists mock our namby-pamby prisons, so we must make them tougher. Radical terrorists are nasty, so to defeat them we have to be nastier.” (Applebaum).

Especially we need to recognize that the Internet is a public environment everyone has access to. As Justice Samuel Alito, Jr. argued, “Protecting this kind of Internet speech posed ‘a very grave threat of domestic violence” (Denniston). Elonis’ case is definitely different from Virginia v. Black in 2003 because burning a cross does not show a clear message and only involves a limited amount of people, but Elonis’ words online can speak clearly that he would do something and convey to a much wider audience, making them fear and nervous. If everyone is free to speak any violence word as Elonis did online, the society will be in completely chaos. Everyone will live in fear because saying terrorism is all right.
Authorities found that Chaney further spread the illegal photos to celebrity blog sites, who would then post them on the web. Chaney confessed that he hacked the e-mail accounts by first researching celebrity information, which later helped him to correctly answer the security questions that were displayed on the “forgot your password” feature. According to the U. S. attorney’s office, once he got into the celebrities’ e-mail accounts, he would then search through their contacts, for more potential targets to hack. While in the celebrity’s e-mail box, Chaney then would change the settings to forward a copy of every e-mail sent, back to his own e-mail. On Monday, U-S District Court Judge S.
