The reps and senators themselves should abstain from voting on bills that can't stay on topic. If that became popular, they'd only have a quorum when the bill made sense.
The EP only applied to the 10 states that seceded from the union.
The ten affected states were individually named on January 1, 1863. Intentionally omitted were Maryland and Delaware (which had never seceded), Tennessee (already under Union control), and Missouri and Kentucky (with factional governments that had been accepted to the Confederacy, but had not officially seceded). Specific exemptions were stated for 48 counties designated to become the free state of West Virginia, along with several other named counties of Virginia; and also New Orleans and several named parishes in Louisiana already under Union control.
If it weren't for the 13th Amendment (ratified by the states in December 1865), the fine citizens of Tennessee, Kentucky, et al, would still have the right to own or be owned.
You are right, but it isn't surprising that this is a confusing issue. Although Lincoln was an abolitionist, he did not run on that issue because he campaigned that it was even more important not to divide the union. That is why he didn't make the Emancipation Proclamation until well after the start of the Civil War. The Union was already split, freeing the slaves was no longer an election issue, but it had become ahelluvan economic weapon.
That was a humdinger of an election, the established parties unable to get their acts together and letting the upstart Republicans take over. It's about time we did that again. It's the only way to get action on important issues. Have you noticed that the bipartisan duopoly never takes positions on the issues that I think are important. They always want to debate boring stuff because they already agree that the status quo is just dandy.
The right to tax is the right to buy votes. I suppose we need to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

Mr. Madison, I wish you'd post more often. You've hit the nail right on the head. Better yet, you should write a text book which should be required reading for all school students.
I'd vote for a candidate who promised never to vote for or against a bill he hadn't read. It would be even better if the bill was posted soon enough before the vote for me to get a chance to read it and respond.

It wouldn't be a wasted vote if all the "third parties" made election reform their one and only plank. Unfortunately, the republicrats are the only one running in the middle (where most americans reside) of most issues.
You must not have clicked through the link. They are all either MDs or PhDs in scientific fields. Most are members of the usual scientific professional organizations. Most taught at recognizable mainstream universities before joining the ICR.
Theology is a different field of study complete with degrees. None of these people have a degree in theology and cannot correctly be called theologens.
One model that might work is to charge for the first 5 articles and then consider the person paid up - any more articles are free for a year. This would also give people a reason to give their real name.
Sometimes it's just the stores being stupid, but often times it's the manufacturer that's being stupid.
In either case, it sends the customer to more helpful markets. Forbidding a salesman to be helpful to a legitimate customer makes no sense for any honest business.
This is a fine example of why the Federal Government shouldn't make laws that apply to specific states by name. The Voting Rights Act gives more power to the incumbants and even if it didn't, who's going to vote against Civil Rights?
No, rather than naming names, the law should describe the offense and only apply to those who continue to offend.
My Target Smart card expires in May so I just got a replacement in the mail. Looks the same, except that it doesn't have the chip. I assume they quit with whatever it was they were trying to do with it.
Yeah, I know that, but that isn't the very first thought I had. I saw the little mini sentence "I con", certainly not the image Jobs desires.
I'm accustomed to capitals in the middle of words indicating a new word, something I do in filenames, and something Apple sort of does with its product names.
Americanization of British TV shows worked a lot better before Americans had access to the originals. Remember Sanford and Son and Archie Bunker? Adaptations from the UK, and there are others.
http://www.echoupal.com/ needs to learn how to design a website. They have a huge animated picture that blocks out most of the text. Maybe, they didn't test it with Firefox?
Firstly, the geek class needs to learn to make good websites (and other technology).
Secondly, the rural masses must get connected.
Anyone know a good website for Open Source Hardware (OSH)?
The question to me seems to be who all is legally obliged to assist Apple in enforcing its NDA. If you witness a crime, must you come forward and tell all you know?

We'd have much fewer bad laws.

Maybe not the Civil War itself, but the Presidential election prior to the Civil War was all about slavery.

Isn't Computer Science simply a subset of Information Science?
You left out Management Science, an oxymoron if I ever met one.
Although the Pope can claim to speak for God, he can't speak for all Christians.
Thanks, I knew there must be a reason it wasn't in my dictionary.

I doubt many people use a one button mouse. I never have. What he's done is create an opportunity for the vendor to make one more sale.
