Oh, the whole setup where they explain that warp 10 is infinite speed and theoretically impossible, but reach this impossibility by adjusting the nacelle? Then the doctor explains that evolution, the process of adaption to fit environment, actually follows a set path that makes our natural environment deadly to us? As…

Flat Belly Theory.

The very fabric of our society is based in religion. Our overriding morality is based in religious principles. It doesn't matter where the law comes from, as long as it promotes justice and order. And no, a law based in religion isn't inherintely discriminatory. Polygamy is based in the religious preferences of the…

"Sharia Law" is a wide ranging principal that within it contains schools of law, and many interpretations within those schools. It depends on the country, the judge, etc.

I was more referring to the slogan of "I'm with her." But they still should have scrapped putting a red right arrow on their logo. If you can't fix it then don't use it.

No, just completely scrap it and get a good slogan. "H—->R" is narcissistic and vague, which summarizes her campaign but doesn't energize anyone besides Hillary.

I never said that a single debate won Kennedy the election. My sourcing undercuts this idea by pointing that TV owners were disproportionately Catholic and therefore predisposed to Kennedy. And TVs weren't expensive by 1960. You don't get 87% ownership without heavy penetration into lower-class families.

Your theory of TV ownership is contradicted by my cited sources in both TV availability and demographic distribution. Almost everyone at the time owned TV and the ones who didn't were more likely rural Americans.

I think there's a fair amount of over-reading in the decision. The lift has little effect overall compared to the weight of the eventual decision on the ban itself. The "bona fide" connection to the US covers a lot of people as to essentially keep the injunction in the most important cases, family, school, and…

Georgia is one of the most diverse states at 30% black and has 4/14 Democratic House Reps (All black).

They are if you know how to prep 'em right.

Huh? No, most of them are just basic legal questions. Can the FCC do this, ect. You don't hear about unanimous cases because they tend to be boring technical disagreements.

That wouldn't matter since it's parody and falls under fair use.

The answer is no. The government could likewise make billboards illegal by calling them driving hazards, but if they made it illegal to put up 'Hillary for President' billboards and only those, it would obviously be a free speech issue. This is a similar case. They are financially disadvantaging someone based purely…

Yeah I think the Court takes around 2% of all cases. Circuit Courts are unanimous around 97-99% of the time and those are a level above district. A lot too is that the media covers the controversial, splitting cases too. I see that armchair lawyers love to lionize Scalia/Ginsburg and demonize the other, but those two…

That's not true. It's usually around half. Last year the ruled unanimously on 37 of 81 cases.

I agree. The article, and the headline especially, was embarrassingly bad journalism. Turning judicial news into emotional click bait misinformation people about the law and encourages bias in the law. It's no better than Fox News trying to paint judges as treasonous terrorists for shooting down the travel ban.

It's, at it's core, the government saying that you can't freely use the words that you would like. People have a basic right to work and restricting their trademark ability restricts that right. Ergo, it's the government punishing someone for their words.

On the sex offender case, the Court was cautious about over-extending judgement. They didn't rule against social media or internet restrictions, they just said the NC law (which barred completely all social media) was far too restrictive. It's unreasonable to ban a sex offender from using LinkedIn to find a job (where…

The trademark affects a rock band and an NFL team. I don't know why they brought up the sex offender case.
