Orrin Hatch: “I think they should have overruled Austin.”

It has been one of the great honors of my life to serve on this committee.

Without adequate mens rea protections, that is, without the requirement that a person knows his conduct was wrong or unlawful, everyday citizens can be held criminally liable for a conduct that no reasonable person would know was wrong.

I say, 'damn right.'

I am deeply concerned about the theatrics we have seen these last 2 days.
