SCO's Plan Examined
kevin@ank.com writes "In the best expose I've read since the original Halloween documents, Groklaw has links and analysis of Renaissance Ventures' rationale for investing in The SCO Group. Among other misrepresentations, SCO convinced Ren that SCO owned the root of the entire UNIX tree, and that Linux was just one branch of that tree. Linux gets a SCO tax... forever; or worst case, if Linux gets killed in the process, then so be it. Renaissance also estimated that IBM would have settled with SCO last April under the strength of SCO's claims, and the threat of terminating their UNIX license. Oops."
Judge Moore isn't a federal judge.
The first amendment bans Congress from ESTABLISHING a state religion. It says nothing about seperation of church and state.
What I don't like are judges who make law. The judiciary is unlelected, and serves for life. That is hardly a body ANY person who doesn't believe in fascism would want writing laws...
Corporatism != Free Market
...and the 14th amendment extended the 1st amendment ban of establishing religion to the state governments.
As far as "seperation of church and state," this was a quote from Thomas Jefferson that the Supreme Court used in Everton vs Board of Education in 1947. It is the Supreme Court's job to determine constitutionality, and they decided that this "wall of seperation of church and state" was what was intended in the Establishment clause of the 1st amendment.
