A SMBC comic. A title caption reads "EVERY NATIONAL SECURITY OVERREACH HEARING:". A balding, bearded man in glasses and a dark suit with a red tie sits at a hearing table gesturing earnestly, flanked by a woman on his left and a man on his right who watch him. He says, "I just want to be perfectly clear to the citizens of this country: we only violated the SPIRIT of the law" — emphasizing "spirit" as if that softens the admission. Votey: a crude black-and-white sketch of the same bearded man, who adds, "Also the letter" — admitting they broke the letter of the law too.
