Apple to
DOJ: 'The Founders would be
appalled' at San
Bernardi** iPhone case



Using a centuries-old, broad sweeping law to force
Apple to create a backdoor to a terrorist's
iPhone is so off base it
would upset even the
Founders of the United States, the tech giant essentially argues in its latest court filing as it continues its fight against the FBI.
"The
Founders would be appalled,"
Apple writes Tuesday in response to the
U.S. Department of Justice's argument that the
All Writs Act can be used to compel
Apple to create a new version of iOS to circumvent the encryption on the
iPhone belonging to a gunman that killed 14 people in San
Bernardi** in December.
