      <title>The Communicators with Grover Norquist and Laura Murphy</title>
      <description>Grover Norquist and Laura Murphy talked about potential changes to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), which governs government access to information stored on the Internet. They argued that the government could read emails without a warrant, and that privacy rules on the Internet were far looser than those that apply to the postal service or telephone use.
The two guests came together to support changing the ECPA, and also to launch the Digital 4th, a group "dedicated to bringing Fourth Amendment protections into the 21st century."</description>

He also responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.

      <title>U.S. Tax Policy and Deficit Reduction</title>
      <description>Ross Douthat and Grover Norquist debated tax policy and the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. The pledge is a promise made by elected officials and political candidates to not raise taxes. Both Mr. Douthat and Mr. Norquist noted the pledge's impact on tax policy, the elections, and the Republican Party. Mr. Norquist in his remarks blamed President George H.W. Bush's 1992 election loss on his decision to raise taxes. Mr. Douthat argued that every tax cut with an increase in spending is in effect a tax increase, using the eight years of the George W. Bush administration as an example.</description>
