Over the course of a year - from January 2014 to March 2015 - millions of Americans, hundreds of businesses, and dozens of policymakers weighed in at the Federal Communications Commission in favor of net neutrality.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
Under the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Tumblr, YouTube, Reddit, WordPress, and Facebook aren't responsible for the copyright infringement of each of their millions of users, so long as they take down specific posts, videos, or images when notified by copyright holders. But copyright holders thought that wasn't good enough.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
The FCC has made it clear it would punish a cable or phone company for deviating from providing 'neutral' access.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
The FCC should obviously not propose bad rules that will be struck down; it should propose good rules that will be upheld.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
Both Republicans and Democrats can agree that more choices and lower prices in transportation would benefit consumers. Democrats would consider it 'smart government' and Republicans 'limited government.'
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
In 2011, mobile data traffic in the United States was eight times the size of the entire global Internet in 2000. That's traffic.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
The terms of copyright last far too long: either the life of the author plus 70 years after death for a personal work or 95 years for a corporate work. That length doesn't encourage more authorship - it merely limits the speakers who could share powerful speeches, books, and films.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
The Startup Act should give all Americans, not just immigrants, a better shot at being tomorrow's engineers and entrepreneurs. And that opportunity could begin at a young age with education in computer programming.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
If someone has copyright over some piece of your stuff, you can sell it without permission from the copyright holder because the copyright holder can only control the 'first-sale.' The Supreme Court has recognized this doctrine since 1908.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
Courts are supposed to interpret laws to avoid 'absurd results' and to avoid constitutional problems - such as infringing on the free speech rights of Americans.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
If the court is a political institution making important political decisions, then the public should debate the politics of Supreme Court decisions.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
'Bush v. Gore' gave us a president who lost the popular vote, eventually appointed two more justices, and led us into a war of choice while failing to regulate a financial system dependent on toxic mortgage-backed derivatives.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
In 'Bush v. Gore,' five justices had a partisan outcome in mind and then made up the judicial principle to justify it, while claiming that the decision would not be precedent for any future cases.
Quote by -Marvin Ammori
Our founders recognized that 'men were not angels' and that checks and balances in government were critical to avoid threats to the rule of law.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
Unanimity is important because it signals that the justices can rise above their differences and interpret the law without partisanship.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
Justice Scalia was usually particularly challenging to me at oral argument, but I so respected his intellect and commitment to the pursuit of truth.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
Some commentators have attacked the special counsel regulations as giving the attorney general the power to close a case against the president, as Mr. Barr did with the obstruction of justice investigation into Donald Trump. But the critics' complaint here is not with the regulations but with the Constitution itself.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
The Mueller report is a long subtweet of the Barr memo and demolishes it and says that is absolutely wrong, and fundamentally, in this country, whether you are a high person or a low official, anyone can obstruct justice.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
In our Constitution, our bedrock principle, you know - indeed, what the nation was founded on - is an idea of freedom of religion: that we don't single out people because of their religion.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
I don't think the fact that something occurs in public or in private matters at all to obstruction of justice. I mean, if I publicly threaten the prosecutor who's investigating me, I don't think it'd be a particularly compelling defense to say, 'Oh, I did it in public.'
Quote by -Neal Katyal
Independence sounds good in theory, but in practice, it is mutually exclusive with accountability. The more independence you give a prosecutor, the less you make that prosecutor accountable to the public and regular checks and balances.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
I said that my parents had come from India. They thought America was a place where people were treated equally, and their kids would have an amazing life.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
No one wants a president to be guilty of obstruction of justice. The only thing worse than that is a guilty president who goes without punishment.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States uprooted more than 100,000 people of Japanese descent, most of them American citizens, and confined them in internment camps. The Solicitor General was largely responsible for the defense of those policies.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
The Supreme Court has been very clear: when it comes to religious discrimination, you can take intent into consideration.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
The nice thing about the 'House of Cards' is they did 70 takes, so it was a little different. You only get one at the Supreme Court.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
One of our Constitution's greatest virtues is that it looks to judges as a source of reasoned, practical, rights-minded decision making.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
President Trump has criticized the Mueller investigation, fired Jim Comey, savagely attacked the FBI, and repeatedly suggested the Russia campaign influence in 2016 was a hoax. In the wake of all of this, the American people need to be assured that Mueller can carry out his investigation without interference.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
The upshot of the Nixon tapes case was that any president is going to have an extremely hard time resisting a request from a law enforcement officer.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
I've been in two different administrations, and I would say, particularly, President Obama was really careful to make sure that he wouldn't invoke executive privilege unless absolutely necessary. He only invoked it once in eight years, even though many years he had Congress opposed to him in terms of being from the opposite party.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
It's definitely true that law enforcement investigations expand over time in appropriate ways.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
I think probably, you know, from my perspective, the folks who say a sitting president cannot be indicted have the better of the argument that the president can't be indicted - put, you know, through a criminal trial while he is president - and that the proper way to do it is to impeach him first, remove him, and then seek criminal prosecution.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
Even though Mr. Trump can give his campaign as much of his own money as he wants to, he can't ask other people to front the money for him and promise to pay them back later without reporting the arrangement in a timely fashion to the Federal Election Commission.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
I never want to be in the business of predicting what the U.S. Supreme Court will do.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
I didn't go to fancy schools or come from money or from a family that valued law or public speaking in any shape or form.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
The special-counsel regulations were drafted at a unique historical moment. We were approaching the end of President Bill Clinton's second term, and no one knew who would be elected president the next year.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
Trump abuses every privilege in the same way. It's kind of like King George. Take a legal concept and then stretch it beyond all recognition, and that's what you have Trump doing.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
Prosecutors use the conspiracy doctrine to punish two or more people who merely agree to commit a criminal act. They don't even have to actually perform the act; they just need to have agreed to do so.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
The public has every right to see Robert S. Mueller III's conclusions. Absolutely nothing in the law or the regulations prevents the report from becoming public. Indeed, the relevant sources of law give Attorney General P. William Barr all the latitude in the world to make it public.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
We have learned Trump's disregard for the truth, and the rule of law is real.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
Every time a president invokes executive privilege, there are three relevant audiences he has to think about: the courts, Congress, and the public.
Quote by -Neal Katyal
I can tell you that standard D.O.J. protocol is that you let official acts speak for themselves. You don't go and spin your action. For example, when I ran the Solicitor General's office, there would be all sorts of times when the litigants would make something up, and we would just never comment to the press. It is not what we do.
