    the meat tasted like ASS.

    How is that a problem? Everyone knows eating ass is 6.5 out of 10. (Originally rated at 6, but upgraded to 6.5 after some further thought on the matter.)
    Just Bing for the official eating ass review. (Yes, it's SFW.)

  4. I think it's probably a good thing too, but will it stand the test of judicial review?

    If I am a business and I want to put a non-disparagement clause or review gag order into my contracts, I don't see why I can't. Nobody is forced to do business with me, and they entered knowingly (presumably) into the agreement.

    First amendment guarantees the right to free speech.
    At best you can sue a person for the direct damage they caused if their statements were false. Most likely you'd only be able to nullify the contract.

    You do not have the right to stop another person from speaking. Neither does the government, even though they often do.

    Not reading the rest of your little rant. You don't like the electoral college because your side lost. The problem is that you picked a "side" to begin with.

    Requiring Electors to vote a certain way is blatantly unconstitutional. It goes against the very purpose of the Electoral College.
    That hasn't been tested in the Supreme Court. All that has been tested is requiring a pledge from each of the Electors. No one has tested holding them to that pledge because it's fucking insane and obviously illegal.

    However, I wouldn't put anything past the current Supreme Court, unfortunately.

    some electors are legally bound to vote with their state, etc.

    False. Some states require electors to sign a pledge agreeing to vote however the state says. They can require them to sign the pledge but they can't require them to honor the pledge.

    The Electors are free to elect any eligible person to the office of the President.

  21. Re:Taxes, regulations etc ... on Trump Says He's Going To 'Get Apple To Build a Big Plant In the United States' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    1. Regulations are not created by some evil Liberul cabal in Berkeley that sits around smoking weed and drinking espressos saying, "How can we make business more difficult. Regulations arise because there is at least a few assholes who think, "If it's not illegal, then it's OK!" - even if it causes the deaths of people. So these regulations didn't come out of thin air - somewhere, they are (or were) protecting someone.

    2. Corporate taxes are comparatively excessive in the US - even compared to evil Socialist European tax systems. BUT, any tax cuts means revenues will have to be made up somewhere else and let's give up on the fantasy that lowering taxes boosts the economy enough to wash out the tax cuts.

    3. The stock markets are hoping that the Republican controlled government does what Republicans do best: cut taxes, spend like a motherfucker, and borrow the short falls. "Bringing manufacturing jobs back" looks like a cover for doing just that.

    4. And when deficits go further through the roof, the Republicans will just blame Obama.

    5. I bet Trump's imagined wealth that this will in fact happen.

    1: Plenty of regulations are awful and need to be scrapped. See most things related to the ADA, for example.

    2: Corporations aren't fucking paying ANY taxes because they use loopholes to claim they're headquartered in Ireland or some shit. Lowering the corporate tax rate and tightening those loopholes would be a massive net gain.

    3: Don't pretend you know what the stock market wants. Don't pretend that it's based on reality in any way.

    4: You're assuming deficits will go further through the roof. Even if they do, what's the acceptable cutoff period for blaming Obama? Is it 8 years after the acceptable cutoff period for Obama and the Dems blaming Bush Jr. for everything from the economy to that big yellow thing in the sky? If not, go fuck yourself.

    5: Oh, envy and salt. Good to know.

    Trump's a moron in many ways and an asshole in general, but he's not wrong here.

    Abortion rights

    Where are those enumerated? They aren't.

    What you have is protection from the state digging around for evidence that you had an abortion because the state's interest in protecting a fetus doesn't let it violate the constitution.

    The media and fools like you like to frame it as "abortion rights" because abortion is a divisive issue. By letting them chip away at "abortion right", about half of the country will support you (and more than half if you do it gradually enough). The real effect is that it chips away at the constitution, and your protections against the government in general. That's FAR more serious than "abortion rights".
