Comcast has been fvcking me for years, 'bout time it came through with the ring.

maybe she's been a ****** because you haven't gotten down on one knee yet and popped the question, have you ever thought about that? Maybe you're the problem?

Maybe he would pop the question if Comcast wasnt trying to dictating when they come. "Being late" all the time probably isnt good for the trust either no matter what their mother said.

I'm with dx on this one. So the future Steve Largents and Sonny Bonos of the US Congress would be paid millions for their time in service while a grass roots candidate might get $45K.

Perhaps you are missing the point? Service in the legislature under this idea would not cause any change in a person's income at all. They continue to make whatever they would have been making anyway.

The more important aspect is to reduce the time the legislature spends in session. We have an enormous number of confusing and contradictory laws on the books; how about editing them and paring them down and consolidating them first, before introducing any new ones? they pass laws every year, most of them superfluous and wasteful. cut that way back only to essentials and eliminate the frivolous.

Finally, I'd really like to reduce greatly the influence of Congressional staff. Sometimes I wonder who really runs the office, the representative, or the staffers?
 
Re: The Power of the SCOTUS Part VII - The Bedrock of the Republic!

So basically Roberts is now saying, whenever Congress writes a law poorly, rather than send it back to them to fix it and clarify what they meant, we'll just read their minds and rewrite it for them based on what we thought they meant?

His opinion sure seems to read that way.....

Four boxes today, which means we're either getting all five remaining cases or there's a couple monstrous ones.

Gay marriage is up first, written by Kennedy.

5-4, states must license gay marriages.

Not able to peel off the chief. All four dissenters wrote their own dissent

The birth of a civil right. I'm not the father, but I'm still proud of the hospital. :)

One who will bloviate all the way to his grave.

Only if the Good Guys keep winning elections. Scalia was probably a McCain presidency away from becoming the most influential conservative jurist in modern history. His wing could have repealed the 20th Century and still can if RBG and Breyer are replaced by a Republican president and Senate.

Yet another reason to vote Democratic.

I wish Timothy was here. I could use a "prophets for dummies" refresher with a very quick discriminator between the biggies, e.g., "Malachi -- Elijah's comin. Whether or not that's Jesus I aint sayin."
 
Re: The Power of the SCOTUS Part VII - The Bedrock of the Republic!

Gay marriage is up first, written by Kennedy.

He's not leaving anything to chance:

"These considerations lead to the conclusion that the right to marry is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment couples of the same-sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty. The Court now holds that same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry."

Regardless of how one feels about the decision, imagine what it must feel like when you know history's calling and you are about to carve words into the marble of the Republic. Humbling. And isolating. And maybe terrifying.
