The Chase case is a terrible example for several reasons laid out here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24396727-kermit-roosevelt-amicus?responsive=1&title=1

That's an amicus brief for this case, filed with the Supreme Court by the great-great-grandson of Teddy Roosevelt, a historian who spends a great deal of time explaining the full context of the fourteenth from actual historical record and case law, including (and excoriating) Chase.

A lawyer and commentator for Lawfare declared it the best of the briefs he's seen, and he cited other excellent ones as well that do not rely on Chase.

It's 54 pages, so not for the timid, but I found it a fascinating read and anyone wanting to know the actual history will as well.

This is amazing. Cryptography is truly the sorcery of our age.

Let's be real, in the US there's only an enforcement system, not a justice system.

A person is lucky to do one thing that affects a huge number of people's lives for the better, and even luckier if they know what it was and have been appreciated for it. Well done, Bram.

They’re affordable and ubiquitous, but homeowners shouldn’t be able to act as vigilantes.
