You know, I understand that knowing the distinction between 'who' and 'whom' has fallen out of vogue, so I'm okay with people just sticking with 'who' for all cases. But I gotta tell you, if you're gonna use 'whom', you'd better be using it properly unless you're aiming for "ironically smug".

'Whom' is only used when the person is the object of the phrase; if it's the subject, it's 'who'. Just remember the form "who [verb]ed whom".

Judge Allows Bradley Manning Supporter To Sue Government Over Border Search 129

Fluffeh writes "David Maurice House, an MIT researcher and Bradley Manning supporter, was granted the right to pursue a case against the government on Wednesday after a federal judge denied the government's motion to dismiss. 'This ruling affirms that the Constitution is still alive at the US border,' ACLU Staff Attorney Catherine Crump said in a statement. 'Despite the government's broad assertions that it can take and search any laptop, diary or smartphone without any reasonable suspicion, the court said the government cannot use that power to target political speech.' The agents confiscated a laptop computer, a thumb drive, and a digital camera from House and reportedly demanded, but did not receive, his encryption keys. DHS held onto House's equipment for 49 days and returned it only after the ACLU sent a strongly worded letter."
