Hey im kinda with you on that, I wish the govt would do away with state marrage altogether but thats just me.
As for the EC, just because you disagree with it does not mean the 'head' of our government (note: the president is not the head of the govt) is elected in an undemocratic manner. One could say denying 5 year olds the right to vote is undemocratic..
Moofie, I was waiting for you to follow up with more quotes from presidential address which are 'law'..
Of course the fed abuses its control over money, thats why conservatives want a smaller fed. A smaller fed gives the states more freedom to doas they please. I am not stating what is I am stating what is right..
That statement is from the ____. (hint its not in the constitution)
Thanks for throwing up some 5th us history, but tell me what the gettysburg address has to do with US law and the intent of the founding fathers? Should a sitting presidents campaign / publicity speech have the force of law or should we leave law where the founders intended it, the legislature?
How about I put some actual law up for you?
Article II, Section 1, Clause II of the US constitution
Clause 2: Each _____ shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
Try to guess what is in the blank (hint: its not people)..
2) Improper removal of voters from rolls with no checking and no provision for provisional balloting., 3) Counting of dubious overseas ballots without proper postmarks.
lol, ok so evil republicans discouut ballots, but the military ballots should not have counted? the ballots in question were not postmarked but received before the election..
No he did, not he filed after the electors were already assigned. THe law states the electors have to be submitted by sept 1, they were... but Bush was not nominated by the republicans until late on the 1st.
It is not harassing, it is your responsibility as a citizen of the United States of America. The least these students could get is get a little kick in the rear to go and vote.
Its not this teachers job to 'kick them in the but', if the teacher makes a speech about why its important to vote, great I am all for the effort. I never miss an election but thats my right, it would also be my right to sit on my rear at home and not vote, its called freedom.
Private universities can require whatever they please so long as it is not discriminatory (or against an explicit state or federal law). If there is any question as to the legality of an action, it's up to the student to appeal to a court.
No they can not, a private university can not insist that studants go to s strip club no matter how legal it is.
"In an optional educational environment, requirements of students must be germane to the topic being taught."
If this school is ABET certified they have very tight guidelines to which they must adhere.
This was not requireing them to go to (or watch) a debate, the was requireing them (putting major pressure) for them to vote. Voting is good, I have never nissed an election, but nobody can reuire me to go into a voting booth. This excersize was the most undemocratic thing I have ever seen from a prof. Part of having the freedom to vote is having the freedom not to vote, and this teacher attempted to take that away.
you can definitely require them to be physically present anywhere they are legally allowed to be.
Not true, a teacher could not require you be in a bar, or a strip club regardless of your age or state laws. A teacher can within reason ask you to be somewhere, and asking the kids to watch the debates, or even to a polling place to survey would be fine. But actually requireing them to enter the booth is dead wrong.
But the concept of making your students participate in government activities is sound, and I wish more professors (and high-school teachers) would lean this direction.
You cant force kids to participate by throwing them in a voting booth, voting alone is not participation in government, people in Iraq got to vote for saddam or saddam. The teacher should have taped the debates and requred the kids to watch and debate themselves.
There is nothing harassing, offending, or illegal about it
Umm requireing me to vote for a grade is harassing, offensive, and I would imagine illegal. A teacher can no more require a student to vote than an employer can..

The US spends more on health care for the forty million poor than GB spenad on *ALL* of its people.
My mother worked at a rehab clinic for drunks, my sister worked as a social worker for poor-disfunctional families, none fo the wanted for food shelter, or medical care..
An Obama spokesman said the Democrat voted against the abortion legislation because it included provisions that "would have taken away from doctors their professional judgment when a fetus is viable."
Because the part he was talking about was the language I posted. It said if a baby is breathing, has a heart beat, showns voluntary movemnet, it is considered live born. That is the "choice" being taken away from doctors..
The language was teh bill. SO yes he did in fact vote against calling a baby that survives and abortion a baby. And because of that vote you can thorw the baby in a medical waste bin *legally*.
Dont try to hide by not addressing his vote..

I know how. They have a ton of social programs that people in the USA don't have. They have health care which people in the USA don't have.
Umm the US does have healthcare for the poor, old, and disabled its called medicare. 40 Million Americans qualify for medicare and it has a bigger budget (250$) than all health services in the UK (2.2 Billion pounds (2002), for 58 Million)
In addition to this state also provide their own coverage *on top of medicare* (NY for example proviedes madicade)..

Or maybe the point is right now there are jobs to be had. The OP said that these jobs are still unfilled.
This is the *only* thing of worth Kerry has said, Now what he might do about it I dont know, and how business will react to having outsourcing clipped and taxes hiked at the same time also remains to be seen.
How I long for a candidate who actually cares about both workers and business owners...
THe story is here http://www.illinoisleader.com/columnists/columnist sview.asp?c=18455
This bill was known as the Born alive act and:
...[T]he words 'person', 'human being', 'child', and 'individual', shall include every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any state of development.
[T]he term 'born alive', with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion.
Obama voted against this bill which would have afforded a baby who survived an abortion attempt rights, meaning that it could not simply be allowed to die without medical intervantion.
That is totally untrue, You can delegate anyone to make medical decision for you. My then g/f made me her medical decision maker when we were in college together now that we are married nothing has changed in that regard. When she was hospitalized for serious kidney problems I was alowed to stay by her side at all times..
What the fsck does Christian morality have to do with the laws of the United States?
Well as its the United states there is freedom of (not from) religion, keys is free to say that if he chooses. I was just pointing out that to keys and many millions of other americans it is a sin.
No one is pushing crap on you, that's your own paranoia.
After the passage of state law last session mandating diversity field trips and other pro-homosexual school activity, this session's legislature is considering SB. 225, which would require that schools with interscholastic sports teams adopt non-discrimination codes supporting "sexual orientation" as well as "perceived gender," or risk being banned from the California Interscholastic Federation. This reaches into the private school sector, which of course has been the goal of the activists all along. Nothing will satisfy until all of society is supportive of homosexuality. A second bill, SB 257, would force schools to target speech that opposes homosexuality as being discriminatory and equivalent to harassment. (Yea its all in my head)
In the role of a US Senator, Alan Keyes would have no business discussing sin.
Fine then Barney Frank has no right discussing homosexuality. Guess what he does, and Keys has every right to talk as a Christian. Humanism is on par with Christianity in that it is a source from which many people derive their moral code, so if a secular humanist can use their moral compass so can a christian.
No one is telling you that you may not consider homosexuality a sin, anymore than you have to believe people who worship a diety other than yours will get to heaven.
Umm the parent complained that keys called sin a sin, thats kinda saying he has no right to consider it a sin or are you saying as a devout Christian he should either shut up (freedom of speech) or not have the right to run for office unless he renounces his faith?

No that 'states' literally means states. For instance, Education: Constitutionally there is no way the government can force the states to do anything.
