It seems clear that they were PA National Guard. If so, were they acting under authority of the PA government or the federal government? (National Guard can act under either authority depending on the situation). If the PA government, their actions were certainly harsh, but they were...

I wonder how most Marines feel about Adam?

Uh...that is pretty easy to answer: Big L is referring to the political party. Small l is referring to an ideology. Therefore: I would imagine nearly all big L's are also small l's, but not always vice versa.

No...they can't punish innocents that according to the facts have not committed a crime. A guilty verdict is reviewed right away by the trial judge and can be reviewed by appellate judges. A guilty verdict with no facts presented of a law being broken would be overturned right away by a trial...

Jury nullification is only allowed for not guilty verdicts in criminal trials. A judge can (and in fact has to) overturn guilty verdict or any civil jury verdict that was made for "non-legal" reasons. HTH

As things are now...they aren't. In a perfect world with privatized roads, they would be. As for now, you have to follow certain rules to drive on public (ie government owned) roads. As long as roads are public (government owned), the government can, sadly, tell you what to do when on them...

I tend to agree with you...I would guess their arguement would go something like this: Rolling the coins doesn't make them "legal tender" or "not legal tender" but rather it is an office policy, just like having to wait in line or having to pay during business hours. For instance, if you show...

That took guts, but I'm a little up in the air about this...no offense, but by your comments on "miranda rights" you sort of show you don't have a full understanding of criminal procedure. I don't know if it's a great idea to risk your liberty to prove a point when you don't fully...

Ever heard of Augusta National? I think theyre membership rivals the Bilderbergs. Are they plotting? Not saying I doubt the Bilderbers are bad, just that the meeting of a lot of powerul people doesn't automatically mean evil is afoot.

Ok…here it goes: It is unconstitutional but there is no way to address this problem. No one has a cause of action to sue over. This has happened before and someone sued, the case made it to the supreme court who ruled that while unconstitutional, no one is affected by this enough to have a...

Lose credibility with who? Just wondering.

This is the credited answer.

You absolutley can do that...most politicians do this. Newt Gingrich did this when he was still relatively unknown. George W. Bush did this before he was really famous. Bill Clinton essentially did this with his first congressional run. This list goes on and on. However, I wouldn't just...

Um, yes there is!!! I'll guess, I'll guess.... No matter who the Libs nominated: it would've between 0.4 and 0.9 percent!!!

You are still the one who uses scare quotes on "entitlement programs." I think I get this liberal schtick...I can hear it now: O-Bam-A, Truth War-ior, O-Bam-A, Truth War-ior, O-Bam-A, Truth War-ior. Yes We Can! Come on, you defend welfare and then say we should join forces with the dems. The...
