Hillary Clinton Health Scare: Secretary of State Suffers Concussion After Faintin - Video
Hillary Clinton, who is smarter than most of us, myself included, surely knows that her partys activist base is closing ranks against her. This is the likely explanation for her recent ludicrous statement reported at Breitbart: Dont let anybody tell you its corporations and businesses create jobs. She is taking evasive action.
Elite political commentators continually assure us that Hillary Rodham Clinton is indomitable. The Democratic nomination, should she choose to run, is hers. This, of course, is somewhere between borderline delusional and, as they say in Silicon Valley of products prematurely announced, vaporware.
Karl Marx wasnt wrong about everything. One thing Marx nailed was that history repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. The elites belief in the indomitable Madam Clinton is entering the realm of farce. Whats really going on?

In October 2008, I wrote in the Washington Examiner about how Seven Web Samurai Transformed Obama from Novelty to Nominee:
Seven Web samurai transformed Obama from novelty to nominee, setting the stage to deny the indomitable Hillary Clinton her partys nomination.
Obamas candidacy was initially seen as completely implausible. Clinton had the party establishment, many loyalists among powerful elected officials, the Name, a brilliant campaign team, a near monopoly on big donors and fire in the belly assets that forestalled potential rivals and quickly stalled out challengers, many formidable in their own right.
Except for one. The splendid eloquence and charisma of Clintons most exotic and improbable challenger alone do not provide an adequate explanation of his rise, considering how far left Obama is to his own partys center, much less Americas.
What the heck happened?
Although all the dots are not fully connected, the record shows that the Obama phenomenon was not a fluke. The likely suspects are MoveOns Wes Boyd and Eli Pariser, [and] Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes.

Hillary Clinton, Running Scared
Advances in technology always make for interesting interpretations of established law.
Most recently, a Virginia Beach Circuit Court this week ruled that an individual in a criminal proceeding cannot be forced to divulge the passcode to his cellphone as it would violate the self-incrimination clause of the Fifth Amendment. At the same time, the Court held that an individual can be compelled to give up his fingerprint to unlock Touch ID, or any fingerprint protected device for that matter.
The Court reasoned that while a passcode requires a defendant to divulge actual knowledge, a fingerprint is a form of physical evidence, akin to a handwriting sample or DNA that authorities are already legally allowed to demand in certain circumstances. In a similar vein, the Supreme Court has previously ruled that while authorities can compel an individual to hand over a physical key to a locked safe, they can't compel an individual to provide them with a combination to said safe; the key in this example is nothing more than physical evidence while the combination, based on an individual's unique knowledge, is categorized as "testimonial."
Mashable adds:
"It's exactly what we thought it would happen when Apple announced its fingerprint ID," Hanni Fakhoury, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights organization, told Mashable. (Android phones such as the Galaxy S5 and HTC One Max also have fingerprint ID systems.)
While the ruling in Virginia Beach is not as binding as a Supreme Court decision, it does establish legal precedent other local courts can draw on. More importantly, "it's just a good wake-up call for people to realize that fingerprint ID doesn't necessarily provide the same sort of legal protection than a password does," Fakhoury says.
As relayed by The Virginian-Pilot, the ruling stems from a case involving a man charged with strangling his girlfriend. Authorities had reason to believe that video footage of the couple's altercation might be located on the defendant's cellphone and "wanted a judge to force" the defendant hand over the passcode.
The rest is here:
Court rules: Touch ID is not protected by the Fifth Amendment but Passcodes are
A Virginia Circuit Court judge ruled on Thursday that a persondoes not need to provide a passcode to unlock their phone for the police. The court also ruled that demanding a suspect to provide a fingerprint to unlock aphone would be constitutional.
The case in question this week involved a man named David Baust, who was charged in February with trying to strangle his girlfriend. The Virginian Pilot reports that Baust's phone might contain video of the conflict but that hisphone was locked with a passcode. Baust's attorney argued that passcodes are protected by the Fifth Amendment.
The judge agreed with Baust, though he noted in his written opinion that giving police a fingerprint is akin to providing a DNA or handwriting sample or an actual key, which the law permits, the Virginian Pilot reports. A passcode, though, requires the defendant to divulge knowledge, which the law protects against.
The ruling is interesting because it draws into relief the legal difference between a person's identity and their knowledge. The Fifth Amendment protects peoplefrom being forced to witness against themselves, and last year when Apple's TouchID fingerprint sensor was announced, Ars' sister site Wired noted that fingerprints may not have the same protection as passcodes. A communication is 'testimonial' only when it reveals the contents of your mind, Wired wrote. We cant invoke the privilege against self-incrimination to prevent the government from collecting biometrics like fingerprints, DNA samples, or voice exemplars. Why? Because the courts have decided that this evidence doesnt reveal anything you know. Its not testimonial.
Ars has contacted Baust's attorney and will update if we hear any comment from him.
