How is it that every single post you make has some inaccuracy?

Right now, Obama is considering executive orders to change gun laws. If he wanted to issue an executive order about the CFAA, or instruct DOJ not to enforce it, or push Congress to do something, he sure could move the needle.

The petition is all about bringing attention to the matter.

EDIT: See? Every comment you make is so clearly wrong (no one outside HN cares, federal prosecutors have no discretion, seeing Ortiz disciplined would be a "fantasy") that it is falsified in realtime.

  WASHINGTON -- Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) took to the 
  online forum Aaron Swartz helped found on Tuesday night to 
  propose legislation honoring the late Internet activist.

  "I'm Rep. Zoe Lofgren & I'm introducing 'Aaron's Law' to 
  change the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act," Lofgren wrote in 
  a Reddit post. Swartz, 26, committed suicide on Friday.
