To be fair, a conservative justice of the supreme court is often a good thing (since part of the real conservative platform is defending the Constitution). A justice who puts a higher priority on conservative political agendas than the Constitution, well, that's when we have a problem.

You see I'm confused here, how come some states can ignore the constitution and say bring in legislation to enforce wearing seatbelts, but the goverment can't ?

It would be helpful if both of you good-for-nothings would at least try to be funny.ColinEssex said:Don't look for logic Rich, you're talking about the USA

That's right, you heard me, I don’t stutter.
In America driving on the road system is a privilege, not a right.
So individual states can impose on your freedom. in the name of public safety.
Completely logical.

1) the recipient need to have a sense of humourjsanders said:
2) name calling again? been chatting with Kenneth have we? or is it normal for US citizens to name call people for no reason
I'm not aware anyone has commented on any possible speech impediment you may have
Assuming you have passed a driving test I would have thought you have a right to drive on the roads (even if you do drive on the "wrong" side
) except when it comes to gun laws obviously. . . .

Ok, part of that was funny.
You are hereby promoted from the ranks of good-for-nothing.
But you are in a probationary period. So don't screw up.

Here is the disconnect, in your logic, Col.
If you are required to do anything to obtain a right it is not a right, it is a privilege. A right by its nature is inherent.

If I may just clear something up for the record: in your opinion Colin, is insulting and offensive behavior like name-calling unacceptable when directed at a specific individual, but acceptable when directed at a generalized group?ColinEssex said:
