I think this works better with VoIP than with bluetooth. You can get something like ObiHai and use your old phone wiring in your house for your VoIP number. You can even get a e911 service added to it and use it for emergencies.

Technically, the National Guard can be called up by the President under federal orders to enforce the Constitution under the Insurrection Act. That happened in enforcing desegregation. The National Guard was federalized and worked with active duty troops to enforce desegregation.

I’m pretty sure that most suburban families can afford a bus ticket to Denver, or whatever the Mecca for women making abortion pilgrimages becomes. Heck, I heard that some suburban white women and their daughters even own automobiles and have drivers licenses.

I mean, if that were true, then it should be evident by its performance in markets that don’t have a significant potential segment of viewers with an Anglo-American sense of political correctness, like Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia. But I haven’t seen any evidence that it’s been performing any less…

A lot of those maritime codes only apply to vessels that displace a certain tonnage. Just looking  at its size, I’m willing to bet it is well-under the requirements for owner-operated vessels or pleasure craft that don’t require any crew or more than the most rudimentary emergency equipment. 

If you cover the entire roadway, then a vehicle that’s stuck on the tracks couldn’t escape easily. You can fix that problem by installing a physical barrier in the median or grade-separating the tracks, but that all costs money.

I’m not a Constitutional lawyer, but my understanding is that, legally-speaking, Roe v. Wade has always been on very constitutionally-shaky ground. Unlike a lot of major Supreme Court precedents, it was always understood that the decision was largely built on a house of cards, reading into the 14th amendment a right…

I mean, it’s pretty much the same sanction as refusing to appear before a federal court. There’s no prison time involved as it is a misdemeanor. If they are a first time offender, federal sentencing guidelines will usually result in a fine or possibly home confinement for a few weeks maximum.

Why exactly is that? It seems to be in line with failure to appear in front of a federal court, which is a maximum of six months confinement. Why is failure to appear before congress deserving of greater punishment? 

Which is pretty similar to the current COVID-19 vaccination rate of 62%.

About 10% of those dying from COVID-19 in the are fully vaccinated, so that puts COVID-19 deaths among the vaccinated population in the US about the same as the overall death rate typical of the seasonal flu. Since I don’t wear a mask to protect myself or others against seasonal flu, there’s no reason to wear it to…

I thought about it, but they don’t seal properly with a beard, they fog up my sunglasses and they are not provided for free, so there’s really no benefit to using one since I received a full dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and I don’t care at this point about protecting anti-vaxxers since they’ve had their chance. Plus,…

That’s faulty logic. People sometimes catch common versions of the coronavirus, like the variants that causes the common cold, and die. People sometimes catch influenza and die. People sometimes catch other cold viruses like rhinoviruses and die. I’m not going to wear a mask just in case of the extremely unlikely…

For many Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Amish and others, shaving may violate their religious beliefs. And certain kinds of cloth masks, like neck gaiters, are probably more effective for people with a beard.

Well, considering that the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as a contemptuous name given in Southern States of North America to poor whites and Webster’s defines it as an offensive word used as an insulting and contemptuous term for a poor, white, usually Southern person, I think you’re going to have a hard time…

The California Supreme Court has held that the Unruh Civil Rights Act isn’t limited to the groups specifically enumerated in the law, but that the act can potentially ban any and all arbitrary discrimination without a sufficient business purpose as well as any arbitrary discrimination based on characteristics similar…

More importantly, legally, all that really matters is whether the policy is consistent. You can’t ban some racial slurs that are likely to cause offense but not ban others. That’s a civil rights violation. 

I mean, while your entitled to your opinion, it won’t get you very far in court. Twitch can’t just arbitrarily ban one racial slur and allow another, otherwise they’re opening themselves up to civil rights lawsuits. The only question the courts care about is whether there is unequal treatment and whether it could…

Well, luckily the law doesn’t care about your opinion. Public accommodations like Twitch are required to provide their customers with equal treatment. If they ban one racial or ethnic slur, they must ban them all or they can be held liable under federal law and the Unruh Civil Rights Act of civil rights violations.
