U.S. Congress approves DTV-switch delay

article published on 4 February, 2009

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a bill that seeks to delay the transition to all-digital television broadcasts in the United States until June 12th. The 264-158 vote delays the planned switchover from the original February 17th date. The delay, opposed by most Republicans, is supported by President Obama as up to 20 million households are thought to be unprepared for the transition. ... [ read the full article ]

until civil war, new states were added in pairs, one North and one South, to keep balance on slavery issue

now that the Left Coast is attracting so many people Senate prevents the demolition of our rights by a few extreamists Iowa having the same weight at California

now that the judges are finally returning to their role of interpreting law (instead of the recent trend of CREATING LAW) the asst MAFiaa's are being returned to their various holes in the muck although still kicking and screaming in true leftist style

Laws either get approved or dismissed, there is no "creating".

That's up to congress and things like the patriot act :P

so easy to see your left side....

court ordered busing was a judicial fiat, creating a law where none existed

but I couldn't find an example on first Google page.... it was full of a more recent fiat

California Judges found it unconstitutional for their congress to require a marriage be between one man and one woman

and while on the face that falls in you claim (killing the marriage preservation act) the Judges went further and claimed there is a fundamental right to family CREATING A LAW BY FIAT that the family must be allowed despite the members contained in it

this fiat is a Pandora's box since it allows more than just homosexuals to marry.... by the same logic multiple partners can marry (bigamy is no more since they have a fundamental right to marry) also age requirements must be thrown out since a six year old (of EITHER gender) has a fundamental right to marry that dirty old man down the block, it nullifies incest laws also since the participants have the fundamental right to marry their children, nieces and nephews

and of course a grade school teacher has a fundamental right to marry their student(s) (again, of any gender and in any quantity)

All this by a fiat intended to bypass congress in creating the laws it wants to impose

DONT WORRY THOUGH, at the same time you were electing Obama, whos own website proudly displayed proof he wants gays to marry and be teachers of your children,(check the letters to that gay California group if they are still there, if not I will provide photocopies for my costs to copy and mail) CALIFORNIA VOTERS PASSED A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT FOR ONE MAN ONE WOMAN MARRIAGES ONLY... now the homosexual agenda needs to take the issue to the federal level

a novel thought.... of course lobbying is just legalized bribery... with the money going to caterers, travel agencies, hotels, call girls, and reelection funds that go mainly to the media ibn the form of ad revenue (yes there are buttons and bumper stickers etc, but by far the biggest output is for TV and Radio ads most of which say "vote for me because the other guy should never be in office" when the ironic fact is they both are right) (NEITHER should be in office)


but treason is sin against an entity (the government) where lobbying usually is sin against every man woman and child governed by that government (no lobby gives money without expecting to get back more, A LOT MORE)

The MAFiaas are slowly showing why/how the lobby system is flawed (along with other lobbies in the news) but the RIAA and its movie sibling have gone so far that there is a backlash brewing meanwhile this article has nothing to do with the RIAA et al

the digital TV extension has passed, probably still needs to be signed but there isn't any doubt he will, so I declare this thread dead.... see you in June! (I have unsubscribed so you will not be talking to me if you answer this)

I am left leaning but franky the 2 party system is one of fascists, on the right you have antiquated traditionalism cover over hard rich and big business focused authoritarianism, on the left we have the the kinder more gentle class of nobles that under their facade lurk PC nazis that are more than happy using fake and absurd logic to gain control over society via the guise of good intention.

As for gays marrying I do not believe in the absolution of religion the mroe prefect it tires to be the more vile and insipid it becomes.

Besides the church is no longer a huge part of government hell its become a fcking social club in the modern age. Marriage has little to do with religion in this day and age its a contract between couples and the government far more than its a a contract with couples between their deity of choice, and that's another problem not all religions condemn same sex couples.

Like blacks before them this is strictly a equal rights issue that must be allowed.


As for multiple partners that is easy, we already have them here living peacefully in society only they are not in a contract with the government because of the stagnation of the mind religion tends to bring with it.

What you do is allow it tax them heavily and then fine them back taxes if any abuse is going on, its not so much multiple partner setups are bad its more the closed societies that have multiple partner setups is, its the abusive nature of it that can create trouble. Because of it you tax them more and allow those that live in the open not to be as heavy watched those that live in tight closed communities who would need to have DHS visit them 2 or 3 times a year.

All of this is called being mature and adult and allowing adults fair and equal rights, Polygamy is biblical the only reason it was done away with in the mainstream church is because of the sexual neurosis the church gained during its more strict and abusive times.

As for gays marrying 2 main reasons to allow it US law and the church is no longer a large part of government anymore.

BTW if SCOTUS is not the end all in vetting and refining the laws we live under then what good is anything, we can't live on strict laws made 200 years ago that do not count for the nuances of the day.


Its like copy right right now, copy right is the absolute control of distribution of CP'd works they didn't know even 20 years ago that in time people can share media like thought only without thinking, laws and rules need to grow from the base they are made from in order not to be made invalid by the times.

Then again if we followed the constitution strictly we would not make drugs illegal but regulate it like guns, we would have less restrictions on what adults can do perhaps more fines and what not for public order.

Blacks would have never need civil rights movement because they would have been automatically protected as would gays but no because of the insipid nature of moralisim driven by proxy the church have more rules to abuse us as a society.

Don't get me wrong I don't hate the church, its people tend to be much more humble and kind than they tend to be generalized as, however IMO its a organization like any other only it uses historic tenants as its base that are changed over time to seek the needs of the current organization. Only when its people take the word as absolute it breeds nothing but division,pettiness and strife.
