remi, you often claim to be an attorney. does this senator have a point1234 i think he does. >> i don't know which is which. bullying is a problem. certain text messages with miewners is a problem. this law is absolutely unnecessary. we don't need a law to say parents can get copies of text messages. we need better contracts. when you buy a phone plan and you let your children use the phone, but the parent is the person paying for it, there should be a waiver. there should be a disclaimer where basically the parents are getting the rights to read the text message. >> if the kids are paying, they should be reading it. i find it hard to believe you have to get a court order. the kid can go and get an abortion at whatever age -- >> 10. >> remi just looked at me with the sickest look. >> that's thought quite the same. >> you know what, i like making it the same whether it is right or not. >> we are talking about a cell phone bill. >> i am saying it is harder to get into the text than a kid going to get something done. >> how do
