  1. Not anymore, my your session has timed out!
  2. Thanks. I better understand your point now.
  3. Maybe we can come up with a consolation prize for you! For Great Deals on Gear
  4. With respect to the Supreme Court, it does.
  5. Dissenting opinions do not trump majority decisions, w/ respect to the Supreme Court.
  6. I understand why other countries' troops cannot be held accountable to US Army regs, but why shouldn't US soldiers be held accountable to it? Again, I'm not trying to argue, just trying to better understand.
  7. That would be where your understanding of the Constitution is incorrect. I would suggest a Civics class at your local college, so you might obtain a better understanding of how the judicial branch works, and the meaning of the ninth amendment.
  8. According to the ninth amendment the right does not have to be enumerated by the Constitution in order to exist. That is what happened with Roe v. Wade, An existing right was not specifically enumerated by the Constitution; the Supreme Court merely clarified the fact. They did not make law. They interpreted law. That is their job. They did their job, and nothing more.
  9. I'm not soo sure Army regulations have no legal weight. Criminal charges can be brought against soldiers for violations. I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just not clear on how you came to your conclusion.
  10. They didn't make any laws. They interpreted the Constitution. It has always been unConstitutional to make abortion illegal. They just clarified that fact. They made no law. Where do you get that idea?
  11. Just my opinion, but I think much of the problem is due to the fact that Civics is not considered an important subject of study in many US high schools. Students have to only minimally learn about their state and federal constitutions. IMO, this is just begging for problems in a democracy, where the people are suppose to hold the real power. F@#k the three Rs. Writing and arithmetic don't even start with F@#king R. The three Rs don't do any good in the modern real world, except to prepare students for middle school. We need to emphasize the four Cs: Civics, Computers, Communications and Calculus. And it wouldn't hurt to require a bit more in the way of science either.
  12. The thing is, rights not enumerated in the Constitution still exist, according to the Ninth Amendment The right of a female (or male) to do with their body what they see fit always existed, it just took Roe v Wade to clarify the point. They did not create a new right.
  13. Well, a half pint of Bass is an adequate place on which to pour a half pint of Guiness-- assuming there is not an empty pint glass available.
  14. And you can't access the lite site? You don't need to access their store...dealers should be able to give you a better price.
  15. What are you using? My iBook (10.4.2, Shiira browser) accesses both the lite site and the flash site.
  16. So you are saying the Supreme Court should not have reversed the decision of the Florida Supreme Court? In hindsight that would have allowed us to avoid many problems.
  17. Could you kindly rephrase this statement so that it might be found more reader friendly? I'm not sure what you are trying to say.
  18. If you will also remember, the US Supreme Court disagreed with the Florida Supreme Court's interpretation of the law. The judicial system worked exactly as designed.
  19. hah...one of my favorites is Live at the Roxy by Bob Marley and the Wailers.
  20. Trick question? There is no "we" in my post.
  21. You are right. Which is why they do not do that. What makes you think otherwise?
