I assume it is Apple, but this case goes South at arraignment. I can’t really see a judge being ready to waste the court’s time on this turkey with all the money problems at every level of government.

The rich aren’t like you and I. If they need a liver transplant, for example, none of that pesky waiting in line is necessary — just simultaneously put yourself on the transplant list of every state of the nation, and board a jet for the first liver to become available! That’s how the rich do it. Rules? Rules are for the little people.

In the San Jose Murky Press today, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s department, under fire from journalistic organizations berating them for violating California’s very strict shield law (which makes it absolutely illegal to use any sort of police action against a journalist to find or force him to turn over his source unless the journalist himself is accused of committing a crime), has announced that they’ve put their investigation on hold pending legal review. In other words, they suddenly realized that, uhm, California’s laws might not apply to Steve Jobs, but it does apply to the Sheriff’s department, and they might be in for a world of hurt. My guess is that they’re closeted with the D.A. right now trying to find some legal decision, somewhere, that could give them an umbrella for their overstep…
