#2 Dear Judge - "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." - 13th Amendment.

If the process doesn't exist, then you are doing said act. However, such tyranny from the bench is becoming all too common. Long past the time of term limits for such members of the ruling caste.

#3 Apple has publicly stated they can't do it. Now they have to say it under oath.

#6 Because it's not secure, like they promised, then drug lords, terrorists, and other criminals will find some non-Apple communications gear. Apple sales will fall, like the Newton.

#7 Brute force attack should succeed, the only question is the real world cost to implement it. Now is the Judge demanding this service for free? Rhetorical question... ;-)

#8 Spent 30+ years in the biz and I know that their are some things that are just not reversible in the normal universe.

No matter how many times you crank it in reverse the meat grinder ain't turning the sausage back into a pig.

#10 No, A Judge Did Not Just Order Apple To Break Encryption On San Bernardino Shooter's iPhone, But To Create A New Backdoor

I doubt it will happen.

#11 If Apple DID buckle and create a backdoor, I do not trust any government agency to not mishandle and abuse that capability. None.

Anything is possible, even a purportedly impossible to create backdoor. How likely is an entirely different question. So is how costly.

The judge should not be a sitting judge.
