"Can you please provide a cite in the Constitution that supports the notion that a Supreme Court Justice nominee has the power to declare that any case is `` settled law `` and the subsequent power to make it so ? I did n't think so ."

"And can you provide a citation from the Constitution that supports the notion that a President can send the military half-way round the world without a declaration of war from Congress ? Come now . To call an issue `` settled law `` is , as someone else pointed out , to emphasize stare decisis , i.e . '' to stand by what has been decided , `` i.e . to recognize the binding nature of precedent . This is why , in those rare cases where long-standing precedents are overturned , it 's such a big deal : the court essentially admits that it had been wrong . As to so-called `` judicial activism `` -- and again as someone else pointed out -- to emphasize stare decisis is preciesly the opposite of `` judicial activism. `` With regard to Roe itself , what I find remarkable is that the court exercised so much restraint : the justices explicitly refused to make a declaration about when life begins . They explicitly claimed not to have any qualifications to make such a decision , and they noted that even those who examine the issue thoroughly -- scientists and physicians , theologians and philosophers -- are nowhere near a consensus on the matter . So they decided not step in and settle such metaphysical questions . Indeed , it is ultimately individuals whom the court allowed to make this decision as they see fit . And so , they based the decision on the right to privacy . Said right is not explicit in the Constitution , but that does n't matter ( see the Ninth Amendment for why ) . And said right is also not absolute ( as the decision again explicitly says ) : it is limited in this case by the state 's compelling interest in protecting prenatal life ( a point which is often overlooked by all sides in the abortion debate ) , and that interest is directly proportional to the viability of the fetus . But what Roe clarified is that any law establishing the protection of prenatal life as an unconditional trump of the mother 's right to privacy is unconstitutional . Within reasonable limits , she herself gets to decide when life begins , and to act accordingly . Like I said , judicial restraint . And a stunning example of defending the individual from government interference or social discrimination in matters of conscience , to boot ."

"The theory of aggregated production , which is the point of the following book , nevertheless can be much easier adapted to the conditions of a totalitarian state [ eines totalen Staates ] than the theory of production and distribution of a given production put forth under conditions of free competition and a large degree of laissez-faire . This is one of the reasons that justifies the fact that I call my theory a general theory . Since it is based on fewer hypotheses than the orthodox theory , it can accommodate itself all the easier to a wider field of varying conditions . Although I have , after all , worked it out with a view to the conditions prevailing in the Anglo-Saxon countries where a large degree of laissez-faire still prevails , nevertheless it remains applicable to situations in which state management is more pronounced . For the theory of psychological laws which bring consumption and saving into relationship with each other , the influence of loan expenditures on prices , and real wages , the role played by the rate of interest—all these basic ideas also remain under such conditions necessary parts of our plan of thought ."

The chimpanzee shares 98 % of the DNA of humans yet they are demonstrably a lower animal with nothing in common to humanity creatively or intellectually . They have no imagination or sense of reason that allows them to create as we do so easily . After millions of years of so called evolution they are still monkeys and science is impressed that they have learned to use a stick to reach into an ant hill . What they ignore is that they learned to do that a thousand generations ago . Nothing new since then though where as Humanity has built up the World and conquered the Air , Sea and Space in that time ."

"It is not speculation . When the 2nd Amendment was written , modern military weapons were flint lock rifles . The whole purpose of the 2nd Amendment was so common people could fight off a state armed with modern military weapons . Today the weapons have changed , but the need or the intent has not . The 2nd Amendment does not mean we fight a tyrannical government with flint lock rifles ."

"Do n't count on it . The number of scientists in the American scientific community that subscribe to creationism is about % 5 , based upon a relatively recent poll . I will try to dig it up . Also , calling most Kansas residents stupid for voting in Christian Board of Education members is ridiculous . Religious views are almost never even mentioned in local politics . At the most , you see perhaps a flyer that says `` Vote ______ `` . The Christians who want to teach Intelligent Design in schools are an extreme minority that the media , in all its story-searching rating-mongering glory , is blowing out of proportion ."
|
"EXTREME minority . Pandions ascertations are rediculous . In the end , the decision will be made based on the accuracy of the proposal , nothing else . Back in 1999 when they removed macro evolution from the curriculum requirements , they did so because their science advisory board , a board composed of college professors from our state colleges , including a couple of folks who are cinsidered some fo the top biologists in the world , told them unanimously that while macro evolution was the best theory we currently have , it may be wrong . Apparently while there is a huge amount of data and emprical evidence to support micro evolution , the same body of evidence does not necessarily prove macro evolution . Panion is simply a zealot on the other side of the issue from the YEC folks . He/She sees gloom and doom for anybody that dares approach the theory . This kind of thinking is what sets us back to the middle ages . If we do not present the holes and weak spots in the theory , how are they ever going to be filled ?"

Your concept of God is the irrational claim , that leads , inevitably , to a string of reason based firmly on an irrational or illogical premise .

By definition of reason , it is the intellectual faculaty by which conclusions are drawn from premises . On the existence of a rational Creator who made us in His image , our `` intellectual faculty `` would also be made in His image . Thus it is rational and logical . Hence , the conclusion that we come to from the premise that God exists is rational and logical .

"No , it was n't . Given the number of scientists one might assume that at least one would confuse his science with his religion . It seems that according to AIG , 182 actually do . I really have to commend AIG in that they did not list `` Dr. `` Kent Hovind , `` Dr. `` Carl Baugh , `` Dr. `` Don Patton . However , the AIG does list Thomas Barnes who 's highest earned degree is an MS in physics , his Sc.D being honorary from his undergraduate , Christian university . Clifford Burdick has a `` degree `` from a non-university ( as described in the mimeographed bulletin of the `` University of Physical Sciences `` , from which Burdick claimed his degree : `` 'The University is not an educational institution , but a society of individuals of common interest for the advancement of physical science . There are no campus , professors or tuition fee . '' ) . Harold Slusher has an honorary degree from a Bible college with only a 1/2 man graduate science department in addition to his `` degree `` from Columbia Pacific University a non-accredited correspondence school that promises a degree in less than a year . I do note that Clifford Burdick is listed on list of deceased scientists who believed in a creator . I presume that the rest of the `` scientists `` listed by AIG actually have the PhDs that AIG claims of all 182 listed . I invite you to compare that list to the Steve list , now at 720+ scientists named Steve who accept evolution as the correct explanation for the observed diversity of life . The name `` Steve `` ( and variations thereof ) comprises about 1 % of the population . The percentage of qualified scientists with that name can not be far from the norm . The Steve list was initially composed of scientists with PhD degrees biology , geology , paleontology , or a related scientific field . However , there are also scientists in fields such as cosmology and astrophysics that are signatories as well as other fields with an interest in evolutionary theory . For example , Stephen Hawking has signed the Steve list . I invite you to find bogus and inappropriate degrees on the Steve list . I am sure that the NCSE would be appreciative of your efforts . Hopefully you will have a more difficult time than I did in identifying bogus degrees . Oh , yes . In my experience , creationist scientists were always creationist long before they were scientists . On the other hand , there are lots of scientists who were once creationists , before they became scientists . As many polls have shown , the more educated a person becomes , the less likely it is that he/she is a creationist ."
