[Quantum Windbag]

What are the penalties imposed on me, as an individual, for breaking the Constitution?

Damages in a civil case, fine or imprisonment in a criminal case:

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242
Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law

This statute makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the U.S.

This law further prohibits a person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation or custom to willfully subject or cause to be subjected any person to different punishments, pains, or penalties, than those prescribed for punishment of citizens on account of such person being an alien or by reason of his/her color or race.

Acts under "color of any law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the bounds or limits of their lawful authority, but also acts done without and beyond the bounds of their lawful authority; provided that, in order for unlawful acts of any official to be done under "color of any law," the unlawful acts must be done while such official is purporting or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. This definition includes, in addition to law enforcement officials, individuals such as Mayors, Council persons, Judges, Nursing Home Proprietors, Security Guards, etc., persons who are bound by laws, statutes ordinances, or customs.

Punishment varies from a fine or imprisonment of up to one year, or both, and if bodily injury results or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire shall be fined or imprisoned up to ten years or both, and if death results, or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Thanks for proving me right.

You just quoted the section of the US Code that discussing the criminal and civil penalties for breaking that law, not the Constitution.

I suggest you read Deltas contract of carriage, rule 35. Delta HAS set policy of which the pilot saw fit to follow.

For passengers traveling to or from Canada only, Delta will accept a passenger's determination of
his/her self-reliance with respect to air transportation as provided by Delta. Delta will afford no
special on-board attention beyond that afforded to the general public in such circumstances, except

transport under this Rule. The sole recourse of any person refused carriage or removed en route for
any reason specified in this Rule shall be recovery of the refund value of the unused portion of his or
her ticket as provided in Rule 90(D).

You said that Delta should set policy to follow. I showed you the policy in black and white. When you purchase your ticket that is part of your contract. Who knows what happened, but the pilot saw fit to boot them for what ever reason. The pilots are responsible for the crew and passengers on their flights. The are not responsible for being politically correct.

As people defending the tsa continually preach it is not a RIGHT to fly, here you have it. You buy a ticket and the airline has the right to refuse you being on its aircraft.

 

[gautama]

Bottom line: whenever the safety of American lives are confronted by the possibility of a Muslim arsehole threat.......the safety of American lives has priority.

Why ????

Answer: The Muslim Arseholes have earned their reputation as being fanatical whackjobs who are terrorists because their religion has, as its FIRST DICTUM the violent overthrow of the World to make the world the "Caliphate of Islam"........this from the author of their Qu'ran, Profit Mohammed who is a Historically Documented THIEF, MASS MURDERER, RAPIST & PEDOPHILIC RAPIST.....and NO ONE can deny this fact. Not even the Muslim arseholes themselves.

Islamophobia is today's version of celebrated bigotry.

We had jap-hating, then moved to ******-hating, then it was gook-hating, now it's muzzie-hating.

History will handle our current views the same way every other version of bigotry is handled, as something horrible and immoral. Our children and grandchildren will mock us for our ignorance and be downright ashamed of us for it.

Hence why I'll stay in the minority and proudly say I fear no man based on his religion or skin color.

I don't recall saying that Delta Should set policy, just that the pilot should follow it, and.... "For whatever reason" is not good enough.

The airline didn't refuse to carry... the pilot(who is an employee and is charged with FOLLOWING POLICY) did. From what I read of the story, these two Imams did nothing wrong to warrant being taken off the flight. They were just Muslim. Which is not part of POLICY.

Certainly not the pilot of the plane. He shouldn't be allowed to let his paranoid, bigoted fear dictate who gets on and off. That should be Delta's job to set policy. If the pilot(s) are too "knee knocking" scared to fly the damned plane... fire the bastard and hire someone with balls.

As i keep telling you...Delta HAS set policy of which the pilots followed. The pilot can boot anyone they want for just about any reason. Again, read my link on contract of carriage.

 

[TheBrain]

Okay, tell me why this is unfair:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

That is not a law.

Want to try again?

what is it? a suggestion?

It is the foundation of our government, but not a law.

**** you for not understanding the principle of private property. How's that suit you.

Was it a private plane? Hell no... it was a Delta Flight. The Pilot is an EMPLOYEE of Delta. So unless you are saying that this is Delta's Policy, you're full of shit.

Delta's policy is to allow their pilots to remove passengers who they feel are a danger.

This has nothing to do with "rights". You're being played and you don't even know it.

It has everything to do with rights, which protect against the tyranny of the majority, or in the case of this thread, the ignorant.

What are the penalties imposed on me, as an individual, for breaking the Constitution?

Damages in a civil case, fine or imprisonment in a criminal case:

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242

That is a codified law, NOT part of the COTUS.

Jesus you people are stupid.

Was it a private plane? Hell no... it was a Delta Flight. The Pilot is an EMPLOYEE of Delta. So unless you are saying that this is Delta's Policy, you're full of shit.

So a Delta aircraft is not private property? Is that what you're saying? Who owns it?

Certainly not the pilot of the plane. He shouldn't be allowed to let his paranoid, bigoted fear dictate who gets on and off. That should be Delta's job to set policy. If the pilot(s) are too "knee knocking" scared to fly the damned plane... fire the bastard and hire someone with balls.

You're a nitwit. Does the manager of a club who ejects a patron for breaking the rules own the club? Of course not, but he has been empowered by the actual owner to act in his steed.

As for the reasoning. I need no reason for removing you from my property or refusing your business.

H. Recourse Of Passenger
All passengers are prohibited from engaging in any conduct that would authorize Delta to refuse
transport under this Rule. The sole recourse of any person refused carriage or removed en route for
any reason specified in this Rule shall be recovery of the refund value of the unused portion of his or
her ticket as provided in Rule 90(D).

You said that Delta should set policy to follow. I showed you the policy in black and white. When you purchase your ticket that is part of your contract. Who knows what happened, but the pilot saw fit to boot them for what ever reason. The pilots are responsible for the crew and passengers on their flights. The are not responsible for being politically correct.

As people defending the tsa continually preach it is not a RIGHT to fly, here you have it. You buy a ticket and the airline has the right to refuse you being on its aircraft.

Yes, they reserve the right on certain rational grounds... Simply being Muslim or "looking" Muslim is not one of them.

They essentially reserve the right to not fly anyone they don't want for any reason they want.

**** you for not understanding the principle of private property. How's that suit you.

Was it a private plane? Hell no... it was a Delta Flight. The Pilot is an EMPLOYEE of Delta. So unless you are saying that this is Delta's Policy, you're full of shit.

Delta's policy is to allow their pilots to remove passengers who they feel are a danger.

What "danger" constitutes is up to wide interpretation. Saying the wrong thing in jest, making the wrong kind of joke, can get you the boot just as fast as a threat.

And its not just delta. All carriers have about the same contract of carriage.

That is not a law.

Want to try again?

what is it? a suggestion?

It is the foundation of our government, but not a law.

I didn't realize that Delta Airlines is a government agency.

What this dimbulb seems to forget is that the First Amendment prohibits government from using certain criterion to use discrimination based on race, color, creed. Delta is not beholden to the same rule as a private entity. They can, within certain boundaries, discriminate against anyone they please BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOVERNMENT.

Private businesses has much more leeway.
