He did it with the promise from the Democrat-controlled Congress that it would then pass the provisions needed to clamp down on border security. Which it did not do. He admitted later that he had been duped.
I believe the general feeling is that amnesty will encourage another large surge in illegal immigration. When it looks like it is going to be passed, there will be a surge trying to get into the country to benefit from the amnesty. If it gets passed, then there will a surge of new illegals to fill the demand for undocumented (and thus below minimum wage) workers.
The Tea Partiers have been saying that this is obvious and that any plans for amnesty shouldn't proceed until it is obvious that the border is secure.
"The forced movement to the right is only going to mean less compromise..."
Exactly. Because the Democrats never see the need to compromise. They will plow ahead with their agenda (as always) and the media will spin it in their favor.
As a start, Toyota should first start with developing a technology to allow the tires to rise above the surface of the pavement just a few millimeters when the road is wet. This would give many of the same performance characteristics that you'd get with a hover car, but it'd be much easier to achieve.
Anyone else noticed the obviously pre-meditated attempts at injecting clumsy Republican-bashing in every single story for which there is even the slightest semblance of relevancy. I honestly think it's an organized campaign.
Sure. You can collapse sections and then move them (and all of the contained text and subsections) to anywhere in the document. In addition, you can easily promote and demote sections and the indentation and numbering get adjusted automatically. Paragraph styles are used (e.g., heading 1, heading 2) and those are updated to reflect the changes.
The Surface Pro tablets (and others) feature high-resolution pressure-sensitive stylus capabilities. Great for drawing and taking notes. Of course, you get to keep the multi-touch capacitive features. I'm surprised this doesn't get more press, because it is a great feature.
You seem to be missing the whole debate that went into the enumeration of rights and the purpose of the ninth amendment (quoted above). Perhaps you should read this: Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Or, as in the draft version: The exceptions here or elsewhere in the constitution, made in favor of particular rights, shall not be so construed as to diminish the just importance of other rights retained by the people; or as to enlarge the powers delegated by the constitution; but either as actual limitations of such powers, or as inserted merely for greater caution.
In other words, removing a fundamental right from the Constitution, doesn't mean that it is not really a fundamental right.
Pardon my reading comprehension problems, but I don't see that in the referenced article. I see a reference to the "proportion of armed robberies involving firearms has declined", but not that violent crimes has an overall trend down. Those are two very different claims, so perhaps you are referring to something else. The article does however show that their was a marked increase (12.8%) in a "Number of victims of assault aged 65 and over", between 1996 and 1997 and that the increases continued for the next two years (all that are listed).
It appears that the whole Snopes article is missing the point of the argument that gun rights advocates make. Snopes tries to make the argument that reduction of crimes committed with guns is the goal, while the gun rights advocates are arguing that violent crimes in general are increasing and that the rate of the increase jumped when new restrictions were imposed on personal ownership of firearms.

So, the two issues are closely linked.
Ha! You're the one who is trying to spin this. Clearly this is a win for the Tea Party.

Yeah, you are probably correct.

Alas, my moderator points just expired.
You don't seem to understand the "TL;DR:" concept.
I find it interesting that the editor has yet to flat-out deny this is an error.
Why is that, I wonder?
This is very well done. I am always fascinated by the mini-evolution simulations and this a particularly appealing one.

Mod parent up. That's my favorite Word feature and my biggest disappointment with Libre/OpenOffice.
You might want to give impress!ve a try. Certainly not for everyone, but it is seriously cool. It displays PDFs and it does it very elegantly.

Drawing any strong conclusions between the US and Australia, which have vastly different demographics and cultures, is not an easy task.
Agreed. However, the misrepresentation of statistics from a Snopes article about the mischaracterization of statistics does seem poignant.

Yes and the second Australia did, violent crime statistics went up.
Not to any significant degree, and the overall trend since then is down - http://www.snopes.com/crime/st...

I prefer 355 / 113. Accurate to 3.141592. Handy mnemonic: it is the inverse of 113 / 355 (11 33 55).
And lo, God moveth his cursor to a desolate and uninhabited region and createth a glider. And all the people praised his name.
They hoped that by introducing paired building blocks throughout the lignin, they could later “unzip” the lignin’s structure during pretreatment.
You unzipped me, it's all coming BACK!
A Republican, you say? So we're back to posting party affiliations prominently in the summaries?
Will we be able to ask it questions about life 40,000 years ago? This is very exciting.
