Re: 33 years with new questions
The First Amendment did not apply to state or local governments until the 14th was passed. The Illinois state constitution effectively enshrined the same rights: Art 8:22, which was in effect in 1844: The printing presses shall be free to every person, who undertakes to examine the proceedings of t...

Re: The Folly of Adjectives
Schmo, I like your take on applying adjectives -- especially simple generalizations -- to people.

Re: The Folly of Adjectives
I wish I could ask people if they’re balanced out or centered up without looking like a loon. Personally, I think most people are so out of whack that those kinds of questions are absurd or beyond comprehension. Also, language is odd because while we may agree what something means, it’s impossible ...

Re: Numbers...
My youngest has similar reactions to numbers. It's almost like some kind of synesthesia.

Credit goes to Dean Robbers, who can do amazing things with a couple of paper clips and a rubber band.

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own
Read what I wrote. You are repeatedly misstating my claim, and I know you’re smart enough to know that. My objection is to your description of the United States as “not a democracy.” I don’t understand why you are hiding behind a straw man instead of addressing my actual claim. It's not a "direct d...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own
Non responsive. Move to strike. You didn't ask a question. I did. Motion denied. Move for a more definite statement. How does calling the United States a Constitutional Republic being used to take power from the people? Read what I wrote. You are repeatedly misstating my claim, and I know you’re sm...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own
Please read what I wrote. The problem is not with the description “constitutional republic” — it is with your claim that the US is not a democracy. That’s patently false. And it’s currently being used as a rationalization to take power from the people. I don’t know why you insist on perpetrating a ...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own
So, you link to an article on some website written by an English major? I have no idea what you are trying to do, but your statement that America is not a democracy is false and misleading. https://legaldictionary.net/constitutional-republic/ https://constitutionus.com/democracy/is-the-united-state...
