Cock bros? Eh?

Whining about whining while whining you're a whining whiner is still whining. Whiner.

You must be a progressive recessive commie socialist fascist spigot lover! You hate the constitution and want terrorists to build a lemonade stand in my backyard. :evil:

A good old fashioned shunning? Why not? I can see where a good 1/2 of those currently posting would be about right for an ignore list. I've never used ignore, is there a limit?

I'm not sure if it's more optimistic or more cynical than your view, but in the day of the 24-hour news cycle and the daily talking point memo I highly doubt anyone left or right is planning headlines and canning print a year and a half to two years ahead. They just aren't programmed that way...

You'd have to ask them, if I had to hazard a guess I'd say the perfect storm of ethics questions and the attention drawn to what those in the business already knew brought him to their attention when most of the time bloggers left and right have no clue what's going on in the legal world. You...

Thomas isn't the only one, but there has been a shift both downward in ethical standards and toward more politicization of the bench in the last 25 years or so. Not entirely their doing, it was partly due to the Presidents who nominated them and partly the pontificating Senators who grilled...

The ABA noted at the time of his nomination that he would be the least qualified Justice in the history of their analysis of nominees. His confirmation process was highly politicized and polarized, and most who were paying attention at that time formed their opinions of him. Not much has...

Then why have orals at all, if the questioning is unnecessary? What do you think is their purpose? As you point out, the Court already has their briefs. And as a second question, do you not think the parties should have a chance to interact in real time with the Justices at least once in the...

The difference is the individual using his own money, compensation for his work, in his own name and own voice and with personal accountability for his actions. That same person making the same statement using corporate funds and the corporate name has only the accountability of a piece of...

The problem with that argument is the nature of the corporate structure itself. The corporation as an entity is nothing but a legal construct, a shell, consisting of and governed by its charter. There is a veil of separation between the people who own and/or run the corporation and the entity...

The Founders didn't hate corporations so much as they didn't trust them, and they definitely wanted them divorced from the political process. If they hated them, they would have banned them. That was not the case. Corporations serve a purpose, and a valuable one. They aren't inherently evil...

With 2 kids running around I'm more concerned about doing anything to void the warranty on my phone. So far so good, but odds are at least even sooner or later I'll end up needing it. :lol:

That's what I got too. I don't remember how much they wanted, but it didn't interest me enough to shell out for it. Plus putting non-market software on my phone voids the warranty.
