The problem, though, is that the Constitution doesn't define "life", "liberty", "property", or "speech", so how can the Supreme Court determine if a l...

It's not a Supreme Court Justice's job to work with Congress or the President, but to act as a check to their power, ensuring that no law is unconstit...

No it isn't. There's a separation of powers between executive, judiciary, and legislature. Each serves only the people, the Constitution, and the coun...

I meant substantive due process. Despite the right to liberty, imprisonment isn't unconstitutional. Despite the right to free speech, criminalizing pe...

Hence the due process. Liberties can be restricted if doing so serves some greater good, and the case was made that the closer to viability the more r...

Because the 13th explicitly mentions slavery, whereas the 5th and 14th don’t explicitly mention abortion, and so it requires a case to be brought to t...

The Constitution protects a person's liberty. Is it preposterous to rule (as the Supreme Court did in Roe vs Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey) tha...

A judge being "loyal" to the President, where this is to mean siding with matters that favour the President over what is constitutional/legal/just, is...

Maybe Trump will appoint himself?

On a related note, England are now 4th favourites.

4th time in last 5 tournaments that the defending champions are out at the group stage. 2 of the others also finished 4th. It's a curse.

Like confusion? Because that tweet makes no sense.

I get it now; I don't get it. http://media.giphy.com/media/3MxGNmf5RStwc/giphy.gif

Well, according to this the average salary in Atlanta is $59,000 whereas the average salary in Exeter is $32,000. So the rent in Atlanta is 37% of sal...

According to this, £830, which is more than I'm paying.

Two bedrooms, actually. It's actually worth the price.

A world of free movement would be $78 trillion richer.

No, it claims that biology does not determine one's gender. Sex and gender are not the same thing. Whereas sex is concerned with one's chromosomes and...

I'd probably just sleep all day and party all night. Also do a lot more fitness stuff (up to 4 nights a week and itching to do more, but the lack of t...

I just want freedom. And for that I need money. But I'm not knowledgeable or talented or lucky enough to make enough of it. :worry:

No, but against protocol, which is why the IG report criticised Comey.

And they also said when speaking to Congress that Russia sought to help Trump win. And the Senate Intelligence Committee have said the same. You're ju...

Gaslighting or delusional?

This is why I suggested the alternative where we forget about days and just say that if it's heads then she's woken once and if it's tails then she's ...

So you trust it to be an absolute fact because the FBI have said so, even though you haven't personally seen the evidence? And yet when the FBI and ot...

Is separating children how Trump intends to discourage them from coming? Or is there some other way? If some other way then it's possible to discourag...

Therefore they must be corrupt and this must all be a conspiracy against Trump and his campaign/administration, who perhaps are angels and haven't com...

Right, so we're back to your baseless assertion that this is all just some conspiracy by a corrupt FBI, DOJ, and Congress, all out to get Trump becaus...

Of course not. I'm a British nobody, not someone with a high-level U.S. security clearance.

Yes there is. The intelligence community and the Senate Intelligence Committee agree on that.

Presumably Trump wasn't informed because a) it was an active investigation and Trump, not being the President(-elect), wasn't allowed to know about it...

“And the other thing with the terrorists — you have to take out their families. When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families! Th...

We’re talking about Mueller’s investigation of coordination with Russia, not the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s email server. Mueller actually remov...

Is it? Or is it just the media and politicians (on both sides) who are biased in their talking of it? What bias has Mueller shown?

And I think that maybe your views about Mueller are clouded by bias.

OK, then I’m free to accuse Trump of obstruction of justice and members of his campaign of conspiring with the Russian government to violate election ...

Why the double standard? You’re free to accuse Mueller of being corrupt (with no evidence but your “perception”) and yet whenever Trump or his campaig...

So that’s all we need to defend our accusations? Then I suppose I could just say that I perceive Trump firing Comey because of “the Russia thing” as o...

The President of a company has the authority to fire anyone but can still be guilty of wrongful termination. Trump has the authority to end the invest...

Yes, because the Monday interview happens regardless, and in this example before the toss, whereas a Tuesday interview only happens if there’s a toss ...

It is independent. She’s interviewed on Monday regardless, and in Andrew’s example the coin isn’t flipped until after the Monday interview.

It’s cool, I have this really clever portable dental care system. I call it toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss.

Yeah, that’s why I ended up leaving. Just wasn’t my kind of place. The relaxing atmosphere of Siem Reap was more for me.

I preferred Cambodia to Thailand. But then I only went to Pattaya. I’m guessing it’s better elsewhere?

Except the healthcare. :wink:

Yeah, that’s over.

I think the halfer reasoning should just be that it’s a 50:50 chance that it’s heads, whether unconditioned or conditioned to Monday. We shouldn’t be ...

As Andrew M said the coin isn’t flipped until Monday evening, so if you know it’s Monday then you’re being asked about your credence that a future coi...
