07 - Constitutional Lawyer Joe Wolverton and the EARN IT Act

Enemy of the [Surveillance] State

This week, I have as my guest Constitutional lawyer, writer, and popular YouTuber, Joe Wolverton. We discuss the EARN IT Act and how it is an attack on encryption, how the surveillance hawks always package their anti-privacy bills, the U.S. Constitution, and more.
