We all agree that manufacturers have a right to ensure that fake goods are not marketed in their names and that their own goods are not marketed under fake names.

Now I believe that American people have a deep sense of right and wrong, of fairness and privacy. And I believe these investigations have offended those sensibilities.

Some of the ideas that come from the fringe of the far right are just so implausible that it is hard to take those ideas seriously.

The Magna Carta is widely known to be one of the foundational documents for our Constitution. I can only imagine that a mention of that in a court decision would be forbidden by our friends on the right.

The rise in exporting is a win for manufacturers.

Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness.
