How do you plan to remedy the matters that arose in the Walterstein case?

There is clearly a few areas that need to be addressed after Walterstein:

1. The issue of determination of where a crime is committed for jury purposes - I feel that this ought to be settled statutorily, if only to remove the matter completely from doubt.

2. The issue of moderator action - the court ruled that various moderator actions are not admissable without a warrant. I think the various rules surrounding this ought to be clarified: I will certainly be seeking a rule that states that moderators can approach the Justices secretly in order that a poster who is particularly malicious would not know that he was actively under investigation. I will also be looking into other codification of this process.

Thank you for your answers, and I support your nomination fully.
