I just thought "pirate-friendly" was concise.

tl;dr: The users' comments say that a certain ISP is pirate-friendly. Studios want to use the comments against the ISP (not the users).

That is not a distinction actually made by section 3. Oath breakers are disqualified, not rebels per se.

There are probably good arguments why qualification for a federal office isn’t properly decided by a state judge or official.

State elections officials already do that for things like age, residency requirements, etc. It's part of federalism that the state governments administer federal elections.

Federalize the National Guard, use them to arrest state troopers who refuse their lawful orders to disperse.

No. And that's quite my point.

all citizens are legally entitled to the same rights

It's worth pointing out that, in general and throughout history, citizenship is something that separates the privileged from the unprivileged. The in-group from the outsider. The masters and the slaves.

Touting the rights of citizens, therefore, does not necessarily rebut the parent comment's criticism.

to test whether cash payments can protect children from the toxic stress of poverty

The answer is yes. Obviously.

I keep seeing these pilot programs and small experiments in UBI, and they all prove that people prosper and thrive more when they have more money. Nobody is surprised. Was that ever even in question?

I want to see UBI experiments, plans, etc. that tackle large-scale implementation. We've proven "BI"; that was never the hard part. We need to focus on the "U".

Assistant prosecutor Lewis Guarnieri argued to have the case move forward, which was agreed to by Warren Municipal Court Judge Terry Ivanchak.

Name and shame these monsters.

There's no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

Wait... they got prescriptions for it?

Where are the malpractice suits? Where are the licensing authorities?
