879.0. "Write this speech!" by SELECT::BEAIRSTO () Tue Apr 02 1991 16:57
The March 27th LA Times reports the following:
BURLINGAME, Calif. -- One of the nation's leading experts
on the Bill of Rights proposed Tuesday that the U.S. Constitution
be amended in order to preserve privacy and other individual
rights threatened by the spread of computer technology.
In a speech punctuated with references from John Locke, Lily Tomlin,
Albert Einstein and Darth Vader, Harvard law professor Laurence H.
Tribe called for a 27th Amendment at the First Conference on Computers,
Freedom & Privacy....
The professor has successfully argued many cases before the U.S.
Supreme Court and is frequently mentioned as a likely nominee
to the court....
Unfortunately, the paper didn't report the exact text of the speech. Those who
would like to try and reconstruct it (including quotes) are invited to reply to
this note with their results.
