Judge Denies Administration Request To Delay ACLU Metadata Lawsuit

sl4shd0rk writes "Federal Judge William Pauley has dismissed an Obama Administration request to delay a hearing on Verizon/NSA data sifting. The ACLU has argued that the sifting is not authorized by statute and even if it were it would still be unconstitutional. The Obama Administration requested the delay on the grounds it needed more time to search through its classified material to determine what was suitable for disclosure." See also the case docket. Motions must be filed by August 26th, and oral arguments begin on November 1st.

There is no evidence that Jesus even existed.

Using this same historical burden of proof, you must also say that most other historical figures have no evidence of existence either. Otherwise you're trying to have it both ways.

That's not true at all. Historical figures are usually corroborated by other societies they came in contact with. Otherwise anything "known" about them is taken with a grain of salt.
