I was wondering if you could call in and talk about HB 150 with him? I listened to his interview with Doug Wright before the vote, and in my opinion, misrepresented it. I’d really love to hear someone front him on this issue, especially while he is grandstanding on the health care issue. I’ve yet to hear him debate this with someone who understands what the bill really means.

Can you also publish the list of those who voted against it? That was a tough one to vote on (because of how it was portrayed versus the actual consequences) and it took some courage to vote against it.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune’s reporting, the AG has stated they have issued 200 subpoenas since this became law in 2009.

Privacy may not be directly mentioned in the Constitution, but my papers and effects are. Do you agree that my customer information is amongst my papers and effects?

As for IPTV, we’re working on it!

I too support our constitutional rights! It is good to know that people still claim this on both sides of the party lines! We do not all have to agree on how, but at least we agree on the importance of the constitution.

One of the necessities of the Federal Government is to “provide for the common defence.” In carrying out this duty there will ALWAYS be rights given up by citizens. You can not protect citizens, and and the same time leave everybody free. Having said that I do not like to step too far in the direction of governmental intrusion into our privacy. HOWEVER, privacy is not ever mentioned in the constitution. I agree with you as far as saying that we need to be carefull.

I think that your post here, and others have been a little misleading. I have not been able to find more than 1 subpoena that you have been served, yet you say hundreds ( I assume that you meant subpoena, not warrant, as warrants are not used for what you are referring to.) I do not believe that you have responded to hundreds. Maybe you meant to say that you are concerned that if the government steps too far in this direction, someday you could be faced with hundreds? If we are going to talk about politics, and opinion, lets keep it honest so that all parties concerned have an accurate view of the real issues.

Your document supports the fact that it is unconstitutional.

1. Utah code 77-22-2.5 eliminated the constitutional demand for warrants.
2. Warrants have been used before and continue to be used by other states requesting the same information from Internet Service Providers.
3. Your document states that judges, clerks, and individual attorneys can issue subpoenas. The problem is they can issue them INDEPENDENT of any third party oversight, like what a warrant requires.
4. “We need to give law enforcement the ability to obtain an Administrative Subpoena quickly” “the provider may choose to quash the subpoena which results in the AG or law enforcement agency having to go to court to prove a reasonable cause for the subpoena” – So you need information quickly, but the ISP can challenge your non-warranted request in court. Sounds like you need a warrant.

Our system was founded on laws, principles by which we as Americans hold dear. Our most basic of founding American values is held in the first 10 amendments, The Bill Of Rights, to which you as American legislators made an oath to uphold and protect. By signing such a bill you’ve done more than insult those who’ve come before you. You insulted our founding fathers, and insulted every man woman and child who’s sacrificed in any way during our revolutionary war. Have you no shame?
