This sounds like the beginning of a bad joke...<p>Getting Obama to understand doesn&#x27;t really matter though at this point. The power is in congress and the supreme court. Laws are passed by congress then either overturned or ruled just by the supreme court it seems like lately. While the role of president looms large as the next one will likely appoint a new member or two to the bench, the current president will have no real say in the encryption battles. This seems more like a moral victory for the EFF and a face saving one for Obama and his legacy and wont really affect any change.
