    Man, swing and a miss.

    As AC said, just because you're an American, doesn't mean you can't be anti-American. But you'll notice General Motors is there as well as something called the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...

    The trade group formed on January 13, 1999 to replace the American Automobile Manufacturers Association, which had represented only American manufacturers. As of 2009, the Auto Alliance members are:[3]

    BMW Group
    FCA US LLC
    Ford Motor Company
    General Motors Corporation
    Jaguar Land Rover
    Mazda
    Mercedes-Benz USA
    Mitsubishi Motors
    Porsche
    Toyota
    Volkswagen Group of America
    Volvo Cars North America

    Because you actually need to RTFA.

    This is linked in the article: http://copyright.gov/1201/2015...

    Relevant section:

    In comments submitted so far, automakers have expressed concern that allowing outsiders to access electronic control units that run critical vehicle functions like steering, throttle inputs and braking "leads to an imbalance by which the negative consequences far outweigh any suggested benefits," according to the Alliance of Global Automakers. In the worst cases, the organizations said an exemption for enthusiasts "leads to disastrous consequences."

    You'll see "Global" in that quote mind you. But if you look at some of the organizations, they include companies like Honda, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Volvo, etc. I'm gonna just chalk this up to anti-American bias.

    In a living document, the interpretation does not or should not change. If something needs to change, then the document must be amended. Supreme Court decisions regarding the First Amendment will reference Jefferson's Statute here, because it had major influence on how the First Amendment was written, particularly the Establishment Clause. The Constitution is a holy document, that's the point of it. It is above the power of any single person. If a statute, law or, ruling contradicts the Constitution then the former is invalid. If you have a problem with the historical understanding of a portion of the Constitution you need to push for an amendment.

    The basis and history for our religious freedom laws precludes such a decision.

    It's actually the opposite. Game titles tend to want to hit the T rating for games so they draw from the largest pool possible. Destiny is a good recent example of a game that toned down its content to hit a T rating.

    Apparently, after leaving the the department you sign this form (http://www.gsa.gov/portal/forms/download/115326)

    1. I have surrendered to responsible officials all classified or administratively controlled documents and material with which I was charged or which
    I had in my possession, and I am not retaining in my possession, custody, or control, documents or material containing classified or administratively
    controlled information furnished to me during the course of such employment or developed as a consequence thereof, including any diaries,
    memorandums of conversation, or other documents of a personal nature that contain classified or administratively controlled information.
    2. I have surrendered to responsible officials all unclassified documents and papers relating to the official business of the Government acquired by
    me while in the employ of the Department or USIA.

    From FOIA.gov:

    FOIA request can be made for any agency record.

    Since the private email server is not part of the agency record, a FOIA request can not be made on it. I don't give a shit if you're an AC pretending to be some non-civilian. You apparently don't have a clue. FOIA requests are for public records, not private records. Her email server is a private record, so to get at it, you must have subpoena. The only hope you have with a FOIA record in this instance is that she didn't leave out any important emails. But good luck at getting anyone to willingly give up for record keeping incriminating emails.
