Not really. They merely get to say that if you want to use certain prescription drugs, you have to pay for it yourself. My health plan says the same thing about certain other prescription drugs (not the ones involved in this suit).
Your philosophy is still just as valid for you as Hobby Lobby's philosophy is for them.
Go ahead and pay for abortifacients if you want -- even if you are a Hobby Lobby employee. All the decision says is that Hobby Lobby doesn't have to pay for them for its employees.
And the Norwegian Lutherans make stronger coffee than do the German Lutherans. I'm used to Norwegian Lutheran coffee but I've been attending a German Lutheran church. The coffee is REALLY thin compared to what I'm used to. Interesting how traditions hold up over a hundred years or so.
6:30 a.m. You are awakened by your clock radio. You know it is actually 6:30 because the National Institute of Standards and Technology keeps the official time.
But long before NIST, railroads kept uniform time.
And you can listen to your favorite radio station only because the Federal Communications Commission brings organization and coherence to our vast telecommunications system. It ensures, for example, that radio stations do not overlap and that stations signals are not interfered with by the numerous other devices â" cell phones, satellite television, wireless computers, etc. â" whose signals crowd our nationâ(TM)s airwaves.
And before the FCC, radio was finding it's way towards regulation through homesteading of radio frequencies.
6:35 a.m. Like 17 million other Americans, you have asthma. But as you get out of bed you notice that you are breathing freely this morning. This is thanks in part to government clean air laws that reduce the air pollution that would otherwise greatly worsen your condition.
'Course, if you happen to live near a government-operated power plant, you're out of luck. The states seem to exempt their plants for some reason.
6:38 a.m. You go into the kitchen for breakfast. You pour some water into your coffeemaker. You simply take for granted that this water is safe to drink. But in fact you count on your city water department to constantly monitor the quality of your water and to immediately take measures to correct any potential problems with this vital resource.
Actually, at home I depend upon my own monitoring of my private well. And woe be unto anyone who pollutes the groundwater as they will be providing me with water at their cost. At work, I depend upon a private water company.
6:39 a.m. You flip the switch on the coffee maker. There is no short in the outlet or in the electrical line and there is no resulting fire in your house. Why? Because when your house was being built, the electrical system had to be inspected to make sure it was properly installed â" a service provided by your local government. And it was installed by an electrician who was licensed by your state government to ensure his competence and your safety.
Hmmm... When my house was built, the government inspector missed a bunch of problems. I'm glad the contractor did not -- he fired the sub and made it right. Most of the electrical systems in my home are UL approved -- including the coffemaker. UL is a private agency funded by the insurance industry that does testing.
Your greatest dreams are in the hands of the government everyday.
And those are just the ones from the first 10 minutes after you wake up.
You live in as much of a dream world as those who oppose all government.
...or do you expect them to just know it? Math knowledge does not equal programming skill.
I know that the algorithm usually picked is the Sieve of Eratosthenes, and I have no doubt that I can code it, but I first need to go to the web and find an explanation of the Sieve.
SCOTUS also ruled in United States v. Cruikshank that the First Amendment right to assembly was not intended to limit the powers of the State governments in respect to their own citizens. Reaching back to a case before SCOTUS began enforcing fundamental rights protected by the Bill of Rights doesn't really carry much weight these days.
United States v. Miller could also be read with "reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia" indicating that the "arms" most protected by the Second Amendment are those which are in use by the military. After all, how can the militia get training in use of those weapons if they are not available for use?
The actual text from United States v. Miller of "The Court cannot take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon." seems to support the position I mention above at least as well as the one you put forth.
If you wish to live in community that heavily regulates firearms, then band together and do so - nothing restricts a locality/city/region from banning the things of their own initiative (see also Chicago, D.C, New York City, etc.)
Might want to look into that part a little more. While SCOTUS has said that there a many acceptable restrictions, DC's ban is gone, Chicago's ban has just gone and others will surely follow. Note that officials in DC and Chicago are still attempting to come up with something that will be acceptable under the standards set by the courts, but that's to be expected.
Well, even this one claims that the change is just a "clarification" of the original intent and that those nasty pro-gun folks are perpetrating a fraud upon the people.
Very few people in the US are "armed to automatic weapons". The majority of us have semi-automatic shotguns and semi-automatic rifles, which fire one shot each time you pull the trigger -- just like revolvers, pump-action, bolt-action and other firearms with magazines. AND WE'VE GOT FUCKING GRIZZLY BEARS! (and several other nasty species)
She said that communism is good at dealing with that kind of thing, not that democracy was incapable of fixing it. She made the rather obvious point that communist states find it easier to act for the collective good, while in democracies people tend to act in their own interests.
Yep. That's why the Soviet Union and China had no environmental problems at all, while the United States rots in a cesspool of filth.
What's that? The Soviet Union and China were some of the most polluted countries on earth? Really!?
I once went to an interview where the interviewer was on vacation. When she contacted me later, I told her that I was no longer interested in working for her company. That was a bit of an understatement, I would not have worked for them under any circumstances I could imagine.
An easement is a limited right or interest in the land of another entitling the holder to use, privilege or benefit.
Eminent domain is the legal right and procedures for a municipality to take title and possession of private property for public use.
You might be able to get an easement by using eminent domain, but the more normal process is to purchase an easement. Another way is what happens in a subdivision, where the developer defines where the easements are for such things as utility services (wires, fiber optics, water mains, sewer pipes).
The problem is, there are a lot of candidates out there now. A LOT.
That's the exact opposite of the experience at the company I work for. My department has been trying to hire 6 software engineers with two or more years of C# experience for most of this year. So far, we've managed to hire two. Not sure what the reason is, but there is a dearth of applications from people with said C# experience.
Maybe it's that we're not a typical software company doing web stuff (we do PC apps that configure our HW products).
Maybe it's HR filtering wrongly.
Maybe it's that we're in Wisconsin, instead of either coast.
For the books I usually buy, the price of a Kindle edition is half that of a hardcover. When the book goes to paperback the price usually drops to a buck or two less than the paperback. Seems about equivalent (or better) to buying a paperback and then reselling it to the used book store. Plus I get to keep my Kindle editions forever (even if the book has DRM unless something unusual happens -- and if I really wanted to, I could break the DRM and keep it anyway).

Even bigger than the Great Lakes.
The guy I worked with who ran for Governor of Wisconsin on the Socialist Workers Party ticket seemed pretty hardcore.
You can find decent cheese in the US but you have to look hard and it's usually imported. Good bread is even harder to find.
Not real hard to find good cheese if you live in Wisconsin. Just need to look for the small cheese companies.

4,000 or so people in the US die every year because they're accidentally shot by children, ranging from toddlers to pre-teens.
I think that you are conflating and mangling multiple sources here, all of which have problems.
According to the CDC, in 2010 (latest available data) the total number of people of all ages that were UNINTENTIONALLY shot and killed was 606.
So where does your 4,000 number come from?

I guess they haven't lost some habits.
We have sponsored cosmology now? What model does the NRA support?
The Big Bang, obviously. Especially the variation where multiple Big Bangs occur.
Well, even this one claims that the change is just a "clarification" of the original intent and that those nasty pro-gun folks are perpetrating a fraud upon the people.

Look again, and notice the opposition to a large standing army and the desire to keep a militia instead.
As in I showed up and she didn't.
She said that communism is good at dealing with that kind of thing, not that democracy was incapable of fixing it. She made the rather obvious point that communist states find it easier to act for the collective good, while in democracies people tend to act in their own interests.

First one -- two months. Second one -- eight months so far. Learn not to leave it laying on seating areas and it will last longer. ;^)
