  1. Re:Unconstitutional on Federal Law Now Says Kids Can Walk To School Alone (fastcoexist.com) · · Score: 1

    No, those powers are reserved by the PEOPLE. The Equal Protection Clause of 14th Amendment (section 1) prohibits the states from oppressing the people under the guise of "state's rights", and Section 5 give the Federal government the authority to defend the People from the states.

    The PEOPLE are sovereign under this constitution.

    My grandfathered unlimited plan with subsidized phone was barely more expensive than a 1GB metered plan for many years, but I didn't get tethering. With the advent of plans that don't included a subsidy plus the coming price increase for grandfathered unlimited data I may finally be motivated to move away, perhaps all the way to T-Mobile.

    "if both sides wanted peace, there would be peace."

    Peace requires that both sides also trust the other to want peace.

    This is the difference between diplomacy and contract law. In the latter there is (ostensibly) a third party to enforce the terms so you don't necessarily have to establish any additional trust with your counterparty if you have trust in contract law enforcement. In diplomacy there is no one to appeal to who can enforce terms. Third parties can only help you establish trust.

    "TFA says explicitly that they did a blood test at the hospital"

    The article says blood alcohol level, but never says drew blood. Any references to the test are either "she blew" or "a person trained in Breathalyzers". The result of a Breathalyzer test is still called blood alcohol level even though no blood has been directly tested.

    Note that this does not say they did a blood test with a blood alcohol content result of nearly 0.4. They did breath test that produced results that would correspond with a BAC of nearly 0.4 in a normal person. The entire point that this condition affects the relation between breath alcohol measurements and actual blood alcohol content.

  18. Re:Isn't it still DUI? on DUI Charges Dismissed Against Woman Whose Body Brews Alcohol (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    "as measured by your blood alcohol content."

    She had been charged on the basis of a breathalyzer test. In a normal person there is a known relationship between breath alcohol level and blood alcohol level. This condition has clearly changed that relationship, since she blew nearly a 0.4 but was still conscious so it is implausible that the actual blood alcohol content was that high. What's funny is that the article never mentions any actual blood tests, only breathalyzer tests.
