In the US the poor 20% of the population have nothing.
Wrong. The poor in the U.S. have Medicaid. The middle class is the one that gets screwed in the U.S. Those that get sick but can't afford the high insurance costs but make just enough money to not qualify for Medicaid.
You are from the UK. Stop considering yourself an expert on U.S. health care.
and God forbid you should suggest some kind of government regulation because that is "socialism" and as every patriotic American knows Socialism = Evil.
There's a difference between a government running corporations and a government regulating corporations. The current Congress and Administration prefer the former. I call that socialism and I don't care if that offends you.
Please excuse my ignorance of the case because I have not read all the details or TFA but I did skim it and it sounded like it was just a temporary injunction. This sort of thing is common in civil cases where the plaintiff alleges some type of damage if the "behavior, action, etc." continues during the litigation. A court will issue a temporary or preliminary injunction in the meantime. The plaintiff normally has to show that it is likely to win the lawsuit. Sometimes the plaintiff also has to purchase a bond in the event that it loses and the defendant suffers harm due to the injunction. I highly doubt a bond was required in this case.
I'm not saying the judge's decision was correct. I'm just pointing out that this probably was not a permanent injunction.
He has said he plans to give his money to charity, so the estate tax has no impact on him.
Warren Buffet makes a lot of money from life insurance. A huge portion of life insurance is purchased because of the estate tax. That is why he supports it.
I think few would disagree that less pollution is a desirable goal. However, has anyone presented real data that strongly suggests that the current proposed solutions (cap and trade) will achieve that goal?

The thing about patent law is almost every district court in the country has personal jurisdiction over the parties. You can be sued anywhere you have normal business activity. General Jurisdiction

I agree, because they waited almost 10 years to enforce this patent.
Do you work for either company? How do you know negotiations have not been taking place all this time?
Stamping "Patent Pending" on a product has no legal effect. It just makes you feel good.

The USPTO does not license patents as a normal part of its business.

A top-of-the-line civil litigator bills maybe $600 an hour, and as much as we like the EFF people they are not top-of-the-line civil litigators.
The lawyers on this case are from Keker Van Nest. That is a top firm with top litigators.
Ha. I bet you are also one of those fools who refer to him as an "Uncle Tom."
Stevens's opinions are almost always worse, no matter what side he is on.

I did this a couple weeks ago and one of my senators replied with an email about the health care bill. Pathetic.
Sounds like they still planted explosives in the luggage without telling the luggage owner.
They target engineers more than other disciplines . . . and more engineers become terrorists.
I think you answered your own question.

And where would Airbus be without all the massive euro-subsidies?
Saving lives is far from "green."
If you don't want to subject yourself to courts of a state, don't do business within that state.

I am writing my senators with a copy of that letter and asking them to join. Doing this by email and real letter. Everyone here should do the same.
