The section you quote says that if you go to court for violation of a federal law or treaty, the Supreme Court gets to decide if you actually broke the law or not.
What that section does not say is that the SCOTUS can decide the contitutionality of any given state or federal law, or force a government agency to create new laws or rewrite existing laws (via executive administrative privilege, yet another uncontitutional power), as is the case here.
It's just not there. Anywhere. Period. We can talk about precedent all day long, and that's fine. But don't pretend it's in the Constitution when it's not.
I hear egg-in-the-face is fabulous haut-coutre (sp?) this year, and I'm a trend-setter. Never-the-less, my comment on the Libertarian (sp?) candidate stands.
Remember all that ruckus about green party and libertarian candidates not being included in the debates and whatnot? Why aren't they included here, where it doesn't take court orders and breaking the law to get word about them out?
Ummm... the Green Party was included, and Michael Badnarick had his own, exclusive interview with Slashdot.
The Supreme Court, the group the Constitution created to interpret the laws...
Wrong. That power was self-invested by the Supreme Court in the Marbury vs. Madison case in 1803, as an act of partisan politics against the Jeffersonian Republicans. Nowhere in the Constitution is any court given the power to "interpret" law....correctly have held that there are limits to speech that a free and safe society must have.
So, what you're saying is... the First Amendent is wrong? That is what you're saying, because the First Amendment patently disagrees with you.
Now if we're gonna argue about whether or not the First Amendment means what it says, then I'll just go ahead and suggest we ought to make the Presbyterian Church in America the offical religion of the US, since the Constitution isn't supposed to be taken literally, or anything.

This isn't really that interesting or even unusual: Uncle Sam frequently limits what military folks can say about ongoing projects. There is a classification called "Sensitive But Unclassified", or SBU, whcih means the info is not classified as such (Secret, TS, etc.) but it is still not for public disclosure. (Years ago SBU was called "For Official Use Only" or FOUO.) Budgets are generally considered at least SBU, so it should be no suprise that the budget is not publicized.
Well, since they just telling employees not to talk about it, the proper designation is Sensitive Topic For the Uninitiated, or STFU.
- Would you have to store the anti-matter, or create it as you need it? The first seems impossible, unless you has some kind of containment where the anti-matter doesn't actually touch anything. The other requires a massive amount of energy. Is this even plausible?
- What about the radiation involved? We've measured the rays that result from minor, single-atom collisions, but what happens when the collision is actually big enough to damage something?

Involve a coalition of all nations to share in the rebuilding of Iraq in order to lighten the burden on American soldiers and economy.
The only allies that are ever going to be there are already there. Kerry saying "I'll involve France, Germany, and Russia" isn't going to make France, Germany, and Russia send combat troups. In fact, all three have stated unequivocally they will not do so, under any circumstances, anyway. If Kerry thinks a regime change in the US is going to make an globally-unpopular occupation more popular somehow, he is in for a rude awakening.
Ensure that the Iraqi forces had been adequately trained to perform necessary police actions.
We're already trying to do that already. No difference in administration policy, there. As an aside, it's my understanding that France has, in fact, sent advisors to help train police and anti-terrorism forces in Iraq. I can't find a link to verify, though, so take it as you will (IOW, I'm not staking my life on it).
And take all means necessary to foster the view that America is not an occupier, but an enabler.
WTH? What is an enabler? That's just some vague psycho-babble buzzword with no inherent meaning. How are we going to enable Iraq?
- Give them free elections? Check. - Replenish their police force? Check. - Restore electricity, sanitation, and medical services? Check. - Get their oil economy going again? Check.
Is there something enablers do that I'm missing here? Seems to me like Kerry's plan for Iraq is nothing more than keeping current policies in place.
Did you ever think that maybe Allawi's not towing the Republican party line because he's been bought off, but rather because he thinks it's in the best interest of his country?
Allawi and the other Iraqi's here Kerry saying he'll pull out of Iraq ASAP (nevermind that this is pure BS; Nixon said the same about Vietnam). In Allawi's eyes, a Kerry election means that pretty much the only remaining stabilizing force (granted, originally the destabilizing force) is going to go away. When that happens, local warlords and clerics become the rulers. Bye bye, any chance for democracy.
But then, no one at/. cares anything about that. It seems like the main theme of this whole globally-conscious philosophy of the American left smacks of the same selfish, self-serving isolationism (under the guise of compassionate and conscientious non-intervention) that rules the day in France, Germany, and Russia. Me first! To heck with Iraq; let them figure out their own damned problems!
If I were Allawi, I'd say, "Ok, tell me what the American need to hear from me." And then I'd say it.

You don't have to violate RICO statutes to kill off your competition.
That's 20% of all CD sales. Wal-Mart is a monopoly for very different reasons (i.e. killing off all competition in rural and suburban communities).

It's interesting that they're only defending *their* open source software, but at least it is a step in the right direction.
Actually, what they said was that they would defend any FOSS they develop or distrubute to their customers or otherwise support.
Novell distrubutes and supports every FOSS app they deliver with SUSE. Sounds like their being pretty broad with their protective umbrella.

Could it also be just that he wrote some really, really bad PHP? My motto is: if it doesn't run too swell, blame the programmer first.
Methinks they may try to put governors on our launch boosters. Too bad, I really wanted to rice out my first rocketship.
