  1. Your sig.
    CLimate change will continue to exist as long as there is money to be made...making it worse

  2. No, the proscription on PROHIBITING as opposed to merely INFRINGING means Congress certainly CAN regulate religion so long as it is not PROHIBITED.
    TAxes for instance, and rejections of proslytizing, for another, are well within the Supreme Law.

  3. Re:Oil Price Gluts on Fossil Fuels Could Be Phased Out Worldwide In a Decade, Says Study (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Production costs are tax subsidized in the form of the permanent occupation army in the M.E. to keep the oil flowing
    Don't whine about your taxes "in excess of production (and shipping!) unless you are ready to pay America for that $300 billion per year!!
    Plus the 3 trillion for Oilwars I and II in Iraq. Plus interest. Call it 26.00 Euro per litre if the real costs are paid at the pump

  4. Oh, for crying out loud
    Fission is dead after the next major catastrophe.
    And do you think there will not be one?

    So..no more bible study?

    By Constitutional law, ALL claims of religion are equal before the law
    The bad you must take with the alleged good.

  6. And this is WHY the establishment clause on Worshipping the Flying Spaghetti Monster Isn't a Real Religion, Court Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    For EXACTLY this reason Congress shall make no law RESPECTING an establishment.
    Government, by its nature, cannot tell one lie from another, and to give credence and legal power to one, while banning another, is an obvious violation of equal rights, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly
    Government can NOT give any rights based on belief without violating this Supreme Law of The Land.

  7. So, 50 years demonstrating Butter brings on heart disease and you psuedoliberals say "See? Settled science isn't when there is one competing study OF MENTAL PATIENTS AND GERIATRICS ON THEIR LAST LEGS!

    Does the company do business wiith Mastercard? Interstate.

    This is settled law. Your "Privacy" to violate others 14th Amendment rights does not exist and enforcement based on the Commerce Clause is well established.
    That's easy.

    Wrong. Under the commerce Clause and the various Acts of Congress in support thereof, Congress absolutely has the power to regulate business between the states (even if it is just a mailed check).
    Well settled, discrimination in employment, public accommodation, housing or services is simply illegal.
    Notice that Universities are not public accommodations.

    "where Safety is involved" would allow White Only businesses to claim blacks are more dangerous therefore.....

  14. Did you miss the part where perfect security requires zero freedom?
    That is why empires flourish, because they provide security.
    and, if you aren't one of the THEM, you have nothing to lose
    So until we have a review board of theocrat hostile members with full access and the power to imprison spies, police, and judges, without review or pardon on mere SUSPICION of violating civil rights, able to destroy the blue wall of silence, we can NOT let the aforementioned have access to our private communications

  17. Given the FBI history on Top FBI Attorney Worried About WhatsApp Encryption (usnews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Everyone needs end-to-end encryption, unbreakable, backdoor proof encryption faced with the FBI
    that spent 41 agents FOUR YEARS of hunting down something useful to Kenneth Starr
    And 12 years looking for anything that would silence or intimidate Martin Luther King
    And 18 agents hunting down Nixon's Enemies list
    And at least 5 years chasing reporter's notebooks and phone calls to silence whistleblowers
    And the 8 years hunting Julian Assange for the "crime" of showing the deliberate murder of Journalists in Iraq.

    Our liberty REQUIRES secrecy from these people.
    Our safety can't be guaranteed by giving up our freedom.

  18. FIFTH amendment.
    Per all suspicions, the purpose of these "warrants" is to gather individuals speech to one another in order to prosecute them (yes, that's texts and emails too says SCOUTS) thus vitiating the right against compelled testimony against ones interests!!
    Who would have thunk the Patriot act meant easier DRUG PROSECUTIONS?

    Well, that 40 billion per year in tax subsidies called the Oil Depletion Allowance proves your claim is false
    Add the 8 billion in direct subsidies for nuclear,
    plus the unknown billions in subsidies for nuclear waste storage forever,
    plus the cost of the military in the M.E. to keep the oil flowing,
    and it's easy to see who is most profitable to the PEOPLE as opposed the oiligarchs (pun).

    it is that "Legal warrant described search" is NOT the normal use for spying on citizens as undertaken by the NSA
    What we all need to remember is, the NSA wants an open look at all records of every call, every link, every note, such that the 4th Amendment will simply disappear for law enforcement
    3/4 of all prosecutions using FISA warrant search are used for DOMESTIC DRUG ENFORCEMENT, a situation which begs us to remember that every Congressman has a file to be used anytime debates about how much money to give to the War Machine come up.
    IF you want a republic, the spies can NOT have this access.
    It must stop now.
