I miss groklaw. I wish PJ comes back online. That'll help us, the non-lawyers, especially outside the US, make sense of this lawsuit (besides others).



PJ stopped doing Groklaw out of disgust that the law was so deeply disrespected by the government. Perhaps when Snowden is elected President.


I miss Groklaw dearly but also understood there was a little more than disgust in play.


It wasn't simply a matter of disrespectful law, but of the risks posed to both her and her informants.

PJ also refused on principle (AFAIU) to use PGP or other encryption on the basis that those made her (and her informants) more likely to be surveilled. I don't agree with her reasoning on this point.

Still, it's a tremendous loss.
