    Yes. Specific individuals are also allowed to be raised into armies and to be taxed.

    His ideas are neat, but his style is plodding.

  4. What will happen to the government when the weight of "doing their jobs" rests entirely on the minority party?

    Not very productive if it's a burden to pay you 13 bucks an hour.

    Trump still has 90%+ approval among Trump voters, even after he betrayed them on health care. They simply don't care about any of this.

    Hard to go broke when you run the mint. Tax cuts for the rich are next order of business, anyway.

    There is nothing that applies to the whole nation but doesn't apply to specific individuals.

    No it isn't. If I'm going to hire someone to link in a library, give me somebody who has some clue what the library is doing. The initial results will be better, and if there's something wrong with the chosen black box, we'll have a chance of figuring it out.

    It's useful in determining whether someone knowingly transmitted classified info in the clear. Nobody goes to jail for accidentally sending a newspaper article about a classified operation. Certainly nobody goes to jail when somebody else accidentally sends the newspaper article to her email account.

    There were three emails marked classified. Only one was actually classified. None of them were marked classified in the header, but the body. The news doesn't report whether Hillary sent or received the classified email. The FBI thinks that whoever sent the email didn't notice the markings.

    Nobody would go to jail under those circumstances. To top it off, the reporting I read was that the emails had to do with State department phone call talking points that are declassified after the phone call.

    "Everyone working in intelligence all agree that if they did what she did, they'd 100% be charged. Never understood that one."

    No need to understand something that isn't true. Go look at what they actually found on her. It amounted to nothing. The second hand stories that travel around are overblown, to say the least.

    The reason Comey couldn't recommend prosecution is that he didn't have enough evidence for a prosecution. No prosecutor would agree to take the case.

    Are we complaining about the regulation or this application? Does every law need to be written so that it's idiot proof?

    Same argument regarding raw milk, vaccines, etc.

    That's where I draw the line. Plenty of people, namely kids, would get themselves killed drinking 3 day old raw milk.
