    Climate change and energy policy must be linked for no matter how 'much' energy, if the climate is made incompatible with the civilization Americans wish to experience, the 'energy savings' will be entirely lost in ameliorating the damage done.
    A cheap barrel of oil that uses up groundwater will cost infinitely more once there is no food on the table thanks to rising water costs, which can only be offset by using UP the cheap oil to move water from somewhere else.

    And the answer is....Every ID Twin has never had a "unique" haploid fusion. It would follow from the " Unique DNA" argument therefore that one of the Twins (or triplets, etc.) is " Real Human" and the rest are not, mere copies without any rights at all, since they are not human beings.

    This leaves us back at the beginning.

    When is a Distinct, legal person present?

    Answer?

    The 14th Amendment says " Citizens are BORN or Naturalized" and that is a good enough definition based on all the observed facts.

    So, until such time as we have proof of the origin of human-ness, it will be the only valid description.

    If MEN have the right to healthcare (And the ACA grants that right) WOMEN have a 14th Amendment equal right. That kind of kills off the objection you claimed to healthcare rights. Every person in America has equal rights, privileges and immunities. The right of Texans to "justification based on popular opinion" (The Cullen Baker Defense") absolutely applies to everyone...in Texas. That's why it is called " Jurisdiction". Since the Cullen Baker Defense has never been granted to a black, poor man means it is not constitutional even in Texas, being witheld from a portion of the Texans affected. The ACA is nationwide, its Jurisdiction (speech of the court) is national. I'm sorry you didn't get that. Maybe you need a cheap course in law from an actual lawyer. The National University offers them for about $200.00

    Thus the right endures until a Rightwing Bigot named Alito says otherwise
    Your problem with the 14th is that you added words not in the 14th in order to make your case.
    Felons, btw, who have served out their sentences,CAN NOT be stopped without reasonable suspicion, cannot be searched without probable cause and have all other rights besides those losses permitted under the 13th Amendment.
    You failed to make a factual argument and succeeded in demonstrating only your zeal, not your grasp of facts.

    Every, repeat, EVERY 'variation' which makes "unique" DNA is a mutation. There is no other way of changing from mere replication to evolution
    Like I said, correctly, a Cancer is unique in precisely the same way a zygote, embryo or foetus is unique.
    Except in the case of cancer, failure to remove the parasite is ALWAYS fatal to the host as opposed to the z/e/f which merely threatens her life.

    You're missing the point. The RFRA CANNOT overcome HER 14th Amendment right to "equal rights, privileges (like healthcare) and immunities".
    But Roberts has some red-meat Catholics to appease and thus never even claims the 1st Amendment applies, only that RFRA applies and REFUSED to consider HER rights.
    Do try not to imagine motives when you do not even understand the law (14th Amendment) that was flouted.
