They didn't reject it (or not). They are unable to grant it, so the issue is moot.
No, they actually did reject calling for it in a nonbinding resolution, and they can't force it. (And I find it somewhat odd that they can't force it given the other actions that the EU imposes on its members from time to time.)
A European Parliament committee on Wednesday (12 February) voted against calling for asylum protection for former US intelligence agency contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden.
As the cases above suggest, the law is not yet clear on what constitutes acceptable practice in linking to other people's Web sites. In most instances, however, it appears that linking in itself (whether deep linking or not) should not create legal problems unless there are extenuating circumstances. Setting up links to someone else's website is not the same thing as republishing information (the linking site does not actually store the linked site's information--it just directs the user to that information). Therefore, it seems unlikely that linking can reasonably be seen as copyright infringement absent those extenuating circumstances.
My understanding was that there was no charge (or accusation) filed in Sweden.
Under the Swedish legal system he has to be interviewed by the prosecutors before he can be charged. There are other nations in the EU that have similar legal systems.
You might want to read that again... assuming you did at all.
That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
I wonder if the growing use of calculators in education is making the problem worse. I know I've read commentary that students have less of a grasp of the numbers these days that in the past would have developed by working the problems by hand. I think that working with slide rules developed a better feel for the numbers. Of course it would probably be cruel and unusual punishment for people to be subjected to slide rules these days.
Except this isn't premised on reward and punishment. This is aimed at altering the way the brain processes information, how the brain functions, to make it better able to work with math.
An EU arrest warrant would be a small thing to arrange. The question of jurisdiction for things like this would likely be a minor problem of little value to the suspects.
China is ascending the learning curve. Space provides a lot of tough problems. I wonder how many more visits NASA will be getting in the future, both official, and "unofficial"?
Not to mention the effort to go "low fat" has had nasty side effects of its own - the overuse of sugar and salt to replace the taste that fats had, resulting in even worse health problems (obesity, heart disease) than just having the fat to begin with.
To that you can add lower bioavailability of various nutrients that are fat soluble.
Obama passed Bush in the drone attack business long ago, and Bush has been out of office for 5 years. Assuming you can't manage to be more insightful your snark needs an update.
You may be right about the "lack of standing" issue, but established law is against him anyway. They will have to challenge a number of precedents to win this case, and that may not be easy. Even then there are going to be problems running into Article II arguments during a time of military conflict. The simplest way would be for Congress to pass a law that clarifies its stand.
As to impeachment, it isn't that hard. It is conviction in the Senate that would be the sticking point. There is no way the current Democratic Senate would ever convict Obama over this matter. He is effectively immune. Just look at the way the administration is altering implementation and features of the Affordable Care Act. It is being done in essence by decree. They are doing things that the law doesn't allow for, and I doubt there will be much fallout. That is the irony of this entire controversy. People keep claiming that the NSA's actions are illegal and unconstitutional, but they aren't. It has been decided many times in court, the Congress has passed laws authorizing it, and the President(s) have authorized it. And yet everyone is up in arms about it. And yet when you look at the lawless changes to the Affordable Care Ace, and the IRS political intrigue, it is mostly chirping crickets from the media and most people commenting here. It almost makes you wonder if people are really concerned about lawlessness, of if they only care about what they think is their ox being gored.
But why is this the case when the instruments are being financed by a private company.
Because the export limitation is based on military utility, not on ownership of the company. Most weapons and other military equipment is produced by private companies, even if in some cases it is using government equipment or facilities to do so.
If Apple were to branch out into military equipment, even if they didn't sell to the US government, wouldn't you want someone watching what happens with iMissile shipments?
But it is even harder to understand that the military should get better images of the U.S.A. through Google than we can get ourselves. At least in times of peace and while they claim to not be at war with their own citizens.
A couple of things there. First, many things of interest to enemies, adversaries, or terrorists don't move. If you take their picture once, it's always there until you remove the picture. The water treatment plant for your city? It won't be moving anytime soon, including the roads, tanks, fences, and ground cover. Second, the US is involved in military conflict at present against al Qaida, the Taliban, and associates. Iran has agents and allies in the US, thousands of them, and plans to hit the US as it desires.
Finally, that line of "they claim not to be at war with their own citizens" is tedious demagoguery. If the US was at war with its citizens I think the results would be more dramatic than limiting the resolution on satellite photographs you can purchase.
There is no shortage of misleading statistics out there. It can be a discipline fraught with peril for the uninformed, and there are lots of statistics packages out there that reduce advanced tests to a "point and shoot" level of difficulty that produces results that may not mean what the user thinks they mean. I've read some articles showing no lack of problems in the social sciences, but the problem is bigger than that.
I can't help wondering how much that plays into the oscillating recommendations that you see for various foods. Both coffee and eggs have gone through repeated cycles of, "it's bad," "no, it's good," "no, it's bad," "no, it's good." I understand that at least some of it is coming down to the aspect they choose to measure, but I can't help but wonder now much bad statistics is playing into it.
I remember when there was a buzz about Enlightenment, right around the time of the big internet meltdown. Well, I'm glad they persevered. I guess they will "ship no code before it's time.(C)" I hope it will prove to be worth the wait.
To be fair, the story did note that, "the death cap mushroom is now an invasive species on every continent except Antarctica," and the last link was to an incident in Australia. So it could be coming soon to a table near you... unless you are in Antarctica.

In short, you agree that there isn't a general war on American citizens.

I refer you to Public Law 107-40 commonly known as Authorization For Use Of Military Force
It is well settled legal precedent that is legally equivalent to a declaration of war.

It should be clear to anyone that does any critical thinking. That is a vice that too few of my critics engage in. You should try it some time.
I have a hard time believing that the Chinese government would accept locale based filtering like that. It would be too easy to evade.
That's actually funny. I only see what is in the news. You apparently can't be bothered.
