Not all speech is protected, one cannot yell “fire” in a crowded theater we there isn't any fire. In "falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater", which is dangerous and false is not protected, as opposed to speech which is truthful but also dangerous.
There is a new service, Startpage (dot) com, that provides a semi-TOR like service for the masses. Their servers are located in the European Union and they are under the assumption that this will protect them from the NSA. I Wonder what the aforementioned intelligence agency will try to silence them?
You are right, it is
confusing. When a
bill is being worked on I often find myself calling down to the
capital and asking for help. Also, I find the ALIS system to
be
helpful only about 60% of the time.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
That is the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution and this the Ninth Amendment:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
It isn't a bad law but one upheld up by the Constitution. No Federal law (or lack of enforcement thereof) can supersede the will of the people or the states.
Remember the Real ID act? Passed by Congress signed into law by President Bush and unenforceable because the states said on way Jose. (Pun intended).
So let me see if I have this right. The next time someone assaults you, robs you, rear ends you, rapes your wife or any number of unlawful act against your person, you are going to call a crook? Right? I just want to make sure.
That's odd, since they don't seem to respect anyone else's(sic).
That is because they know (a) You are supposed to know your rights and (b) You are suppose to stand up for your rights.
At best it's problematic, the officers life is almost always on the line and you want to be treated fairly by someone who in the next minute might lose there life. It simply sucks on both sides.
where someone's personal information needs to be found out, can't it be found out via a court order if a crime is suspected?
That is what my provider does. It is in the user agreement that if a court order is presented to them they honor it.
I often interact with unsavory persons to the point of having to carry a weapon, legally of course. I really don't need to sleep with one eye open, too. If law enforcement needs to get a hold of me they have the option to do so.
Bloated? Of course. Happens in every walk of life. It starts out lean and mean killing machine out of necessity, otherwise there is no success. Life is tough and to be other than at the top of efficiency is a death sentence.
After achieving success then being fat and lazy is a luxury that is no longer fatal.
This happens everywhere the jungle, in the business world, your job and governments. Evolution.
But does the jury's power to veto bad laws exist under
our Constitution?
It certainly does! At the time the Constitution was
written, the definition of the term "jury" referred to a
group of citizens empowered to judge both the law and
the evidence in the case before it. Then, in the Februar
term of 1794, the Supreme Court conducted a jury trial
in the case of the State of Georgia vs. Brailsford1. The
instructions to the jury in the first jury trial before the
Supreme Court of the United States illustrate the true
power of the jury. Chief Justice John Jay said: "It is
presumed, that juries are the best judges of facts; it is,
on the other hand, presumed that courts are the best
judges of law. But still both objects are within your
power of decision." (emphasis added) "...you have a
right to take it upon yourselves to judge of both,
and to determine the law as well as the fact in
controversy".
Our third president, Thomas Jefferson, put it like this: "I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution."
John Adams, our second president, had this to say about the juror: "It is not only his right, but his duty...to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgement, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court."
Jury Verdict is secret, reporters and other members of the media or the attorneys and parties involved in the case wish to ask jurors about their deliberations and what factors influenced the final verdict. Jurors are under no obligation to answer any questions about a case or comment upon it in any way.
In the United States of America Jurors are the only citizens who who are above the law. The jury does not have to follow the judges rule or of the law as applied to the trial. The wit, if the jury believes a law to be wrong or a bad law they can disregard the law and rule against it.
Unfortunately, these rights like many our other rights have been eroded.

The basic statement is right.
There is a new service, Startpage (dot) com, that provides a semi-TOR like service for the masses. Their servers are located in the European Union and they are under the assumption that this will protect them from the NSA. I Wonder what the aforementioned intelligence agency will try to silence them?

Final version of the law. There is a lot of misconceptions and wild rumors circulating about this legislation. This article points out a few of them.
every 15 minutes it's breakfast time.
I have a little experience in this but it is a few years old.
(A) If you wrote it I see no problem in duel license, but make sure they understand that it is still your code.
(B) Be careful, if you write something for them under contract they own it outright.
Eight percent, I consider that a fair return on an investment.
An indication how fast politics can bring out the evil in people.
So, I wrote Sarah Palin in.
With rights come responsibility, one cannot yell fire in a crowded theater nor be allowed own a weapon if convicted of an gun related offense.
This judge is probably right.
I use a plain old spiral bound address book. A I keep it locked in my gun safe, in the same room with with a shredder.
So let me see if I have this right. The next time someone assaults you, robs you, rear ends you, rapes your wife or any number of unlawful act against your person, you are going to call a crook? Right? I just want to make sure.

I know more than a few (Phoenix) police officers and they claim an officer has to be smart or they won't last out on the street.
BTW, this is the first I've herd of this lawsuit but I an glad of the outcome.
Wouldn't be the first time, except maybe for AT&T.
That is what my provider does. It is in the user agreement that if a court order is presented to them they honor it.

I don't know why the USPS wishes to cut cut costs. Postage hasn't gone up, it is still just 2 cents a day.
The more you know about cats, the more you know about women. Simply put when they want attention, they want it NOW.
