The very law that defines an extended border explicitly requires probable cause. The judge is just upholding exactly what the law says. This is the same law the ACLU cited in justification of their constitution-free-zone claim.

The constitution free zone appears to be an invention that incorrectly combines the rules for the border with the definition of "extended border" in the law linked above. I don't think this was just a confusion though, instead I think this mix up was intentional by the ACLU in order to generate hype and outrage (I have to admit that constitution-free-zone is a brilliant marketing term that they invented).

The extended border is concerned with search for the purpose of immigration and customs control (ie, someone flies a plane over the border and lands in the desert, and as far as immigration goes it can be be searched the same as if it were stopped at the border). However it does not mean that any federal agent can have a warrantless search of any house in Los Angeles County, not even a border control agent could do this.

NO, it does not happen that way.

Have you ever stopped to consider the possibility that you might be the one who is wrong? Arrogance plus ignorance is a bad combination.

Just because its produced here does not mean it stays here.

Yes, it stays here, except in special circumstances where the producers have good reason to request and are granted an export license.

Their oil and gas prices jumped significantly after the hurricane in the gulf, yet they are a major exporter and producer. Why? Because supply went down after the storm, so prices had to go up. It didnt matter that they got all their own oil, the world markets made the prices go up.

The US market was the one feeling the pressure from losing that capacity, causing prices to rise. World markets need not apply...

it would be sold to the highest bidder on the market

No it absolutely won't, unless the US Gov sees fit to give them an export license, which in this day and age, they generally don't.

This topic has generated discussion that we might need to revisit such policies, but as it currently stands, no, very little of it will be exported.

Yes, I did. I also put a tax on 'junk' food at the same time. I don't know about your state, but my state already charges tax on grocery items and meals served in restaurants. In fact, some localities (City of Richmond, I'm talking about you) have a special meals tax (and other taxes) to tax travelers and visitors (see the Admissions [7%], Lodging [8%], and Meals [6%] tax coupon here).

If you read the Va state tax link, it mentions that the federal gov't already has a definition of 'Food for home consumption by humans' that is close to mine:
"Food Stamp Act of 1977, 7 U.S.C. 2012" (I think that definition is here, but I'm not sure. See section 'g').

And this is why.
How many of you knew that most of your food comes from sewage land applied farm fields?
Its perfectly legal. Farmers demand it.

You can have what are called phobe/bacteria blooms after land application.

Could this be the smoking gun for all the MRSA reports, contamination of our produce, and now in E.Coli Germany.

They take the digestate and apply it to farm fields to grow food.

If you are unaware, bacteria mutate thru a process called gene swapping.

I believe multi-drug resistance is a byproduct of the Waste Water Treatment industry - take these bacteria, kill off the weak with the pharmasuticals we dump into waste stream (penecillin, etc), and you end up with super tough bacteria that can take us out.

if he didn't pull the information down from the site after it gets passed, he'd be in violation of the first paragraph - namely "or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person" .

At that point he could be prosecuted.

In addition to my other reply to this post, 22 U.S.C. 2705 provides justification for the claim made in the instructions, but does not clarify the issue for a third party.

There is no physical distinguishing characteristic between a passport issued to a national and one issued to a US Citizen.

The instructions provided by the state department are not legally admissible evidence, and are even self contradictory in this case. A Certificate of Naturalization proves nationality, not citizenship. The fact that most applicants for naturalization choose to become statutory US Citizens by filing 1040s and W-4s (or otherwise changing their domicile to within the statutory United States), does not convert this document into proof of citizenship.

See 22 U.S.C. 1101(a)(23)
'The term “naturalization” means the conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth, by any means whatsoever.'

Here is some more info on naturalization in the form of a Cite List

republic

which law was broken by offering jobs to people so they wouldn't run against an incumbent? Seems like a typical political favor to me. Disappointing, but not surprising in the least from a politician.

Here ya go...

18 USC 211 - Sec. 211. Acceptance or solicitation to obtain appointive public office

"Whoever solicits or receives, either as a political contribution, or for personal emolument, any money or thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. Whoever solicits or receives any thing of value in consideration of aiding a person to obtain employment under the United States either by referring his name to an executive department or agency of the United States or by requiring the payment of a fee because such person has secured such employment shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. This section shall not apply to such services rendered by an employment agency pursuant to the written request of an executive department or agency of the United States."

Here's the federal standards for corn syrup: In General and Glucose syrup analytics.

You'll see that they only verify a few basic things. There are no standards for the amount of enzymes, pH, other contaminants, etc. Considering it's a 9-step process, there is a lot of room for contaminants to be introduced or not removed. I highly recommend not eating it if you're reading this ;)

Googling the quoted text got one hit, Hazardous Materials: Revision to Requirements for the Transportation of Batteries and Battery-Powered Devices, etc.; Correction .

I don't speak bureaucrat well enough to be sure, but this seems to be a year old rule, one that is already in force.

I've still never found an explanation for what this frequency is used for in the US, if anything.

Wi-Fi Channel 14 is centered on 2484 MHz, and is 22 MHz wide, so it covers 2473-2495 MHz. Like channels 12 and 13, it's not used in the US because the US ISM band ends at 2483.5 MHz; the channels contain significant energy outside the ISM band.

In the US, 2483.5–2500 MHz is allocated to ancillary terrestrial components used in conjunction with mobile-satellite service systems (47 CFR 25.254). These are the terrestrial transmitters used to provide service to mobile low-Earth-orbit satellite service users (think satellite radio, although I don't think XM/Sirius uses this band) when the user is in a tunnel, or the satellite signal is otherwise blocked.

2450-2500 MHz is also allocated to radidetermination (i.e., direction-finding radar) on both ship and shore, with the proviso that no interference be caused to the fixed and mobile satellite stations mentioned above (47 CFR 80.375(d)). (ISM band users, however, must accept any radar interference they receive.)

Fema!? Hahaha, wait. You were joking right?
