I remember thinking that when I got one of those police notices of a sex offender moving into my neighborhood. He was convicted of having sex with a girl of 17 while he was 18. The police also rated him as a "high risk to reoffend".
It broke up as a result of taking evasive action to avoid a french fighter plane which flew directly at it (the french claimed they wanted up close pictures).
Essentially the plane had to manauver in a way that stalled its engines due to lack of airflow. The pilot put the plane into a dive to spin them up again but lost the plane when he tried to pull out of the dive.
The problem is this... much of the senates business is passed by unanimous consent i.e. without a vote. It only takes one member's objection to force a vote on every single bill or other piece of business coming before the senate. This will bring the legislature to a standstill. They'll be begging to get the judicial fillibusters back after a couple of months.
If they are to have no voice in Congress they should not be taxed. "No taxation without representation" is one of the principles behind the birth of the United States.
Soon forgotten I'm afraid. I'm not yet a US Citizen but pay my fair share of taxes.
It is still true that Ashcroft demanded that federal prosecutors charge the most serious offence possible that could be supported by the fact and to cease bargaining for a lesser charge.
Satellite radio provides original programming. Satellite TV provides an alternative to cable for delivering existing services. It's really not the same concept.
ok, let me come to your house, stuff hundreds of flyers a day at your front door, then say it's an unconstitutional infringement on free speech if i get stopped.
We have a mail-main for that. Day after day of advertisements in my mailbox.
Then there's the advertising papers left in my driveway... you'd that that was littering wouldn't you.
It does rather... it's one thing arguing that ignorance of the law is no defense, but if they refuse to tell you that the law exists then how on earth can you comply.
The license fee is per household... and it funds two national tv channels which offer excellent commercial free programming, as well as supporting a lot of the infrastructure (transmission towers) that the commercial stations use.
Actually the postal service gets to set the minimum rate that the others may charge for delivering a letter. But unless you hadn't noticed Fedex now handles items for the postal service so it's not like they're all frozen out of the business.
Generally I would agree on the free market point, however I think a government monopoly is no worse that a private monopoly. There is a limit to the number of different WIFI networks that could be operating in the same area so effective competition is unlikely. Any instance where a true "market" is impossible is open to price gouging by businesses - look at cable - I think few would agree that their local cable company delivers the best service at the best price.

Don't worry they'll be raising the age bar to 21 yet to fit in with alcohol, tobacco etc.

Yep .... I have philips 32" 1080 set .. $700
Thats probably obvious, but consider this:
Maybe the viewer is supposed to think that the "investigation" is a gigantic cover up to bury the truth rather than find it.

What's that in seats, rather than aircraft ?

Funny, when I lived in England I lived near a small town called Delaware.

Credit card merchant agreements usually prohibit charging a higher price for credit cards.
So system admins can contact each other to deal with problems.
The parliament does have the power to fire the commission ... whether they will over this is unknown.

The supreme court blocked this. The uniform building code is now public property as a result of a lawsuit by a citizen.
Essentially the court ruling was that laws are public property and that secret laws are no law at all.
The license fee is per household ... and it funds two national tv channels which offer excellent commercial free programming, as well as supporting a lot of the infrastructure (transmission towers) that the commercial stations use.
Hah ... the only thing worse than a government monopoly is a private monopoly.

Seems about the same to me
... an unenforceable contract is as good as no contract anyway.
Not that it makes much difference
hmmm ... they should tell that to the guy who scores the first year contract law papers at the university of london then.
I don't think plutonium is a lot more dangerous, it's not toxic in the conventional sense and most dangerous if inhaled.
