News roundup: After Snowden, judges balk at broad data requests

In wake of Snowden, judges balk at broad data requests. Utah's political leaders urge caution on public land debate. Bundy's racial comments leave him politically lonely.

A D.C. federal judge recently wrote that a law enforcement request for the entire content of an email account was "repugnant." [WaPost]
