Re: Here's Some Sound Legal Advice for Anyone Who is Pulled Over a Police Officer....
STFU is taking the fifth. And, you are correct, it does not protect you from civil forfeiture--not much does. and you could be both beaten and then the victim of a civil forfeiture--although you could prevent yourself from being the vicitim of a civil forfeiture by always driving someone else's car....

Re: Rebels Without a Clue
I don't know, they sometimes get their point across, be it nonviolent civil rights protests or large scale encampments like Occupy Wall Street. Violence can achieve results, but sometimes not the results you want.

Re: Here's Some Sound Legal Advice for Anyone Who is Pulled Over a Police Officer....
Can't argue with that; it's hard to do, but it works. I had a client apprehended at the border who was seeking asylum and told her not to say anything ujnless I or another lawyer (I was working with a group representing undocumented persons at the time) was present. This is not easy, especally as sh...

Re: Rebels Without a Clue
Clearing the encampments prompted some fighting back, resisting arrest; hardly surprising since the cops were treating them as rioters, so why not act as them. In schools where the administration resisted calling in the cops, like Rutgers, the encampments were eventually abandoned voluntarily. And t...

Re: Rebels Without a Clue
The only violence I saw is when the police came to remove them; shooting tear gas and flash bag grenades and swinging clubs, which prompted the protestors to fight back--fireworks may also have been shot, but I did not see it. But I can hardly condmemn the protestors for fighting back when attacked,...

Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...
Well, I haven't made a study of it, but I would bet that most women have not been the victim of violence at the hands of a man anymore than they have met a bear in the wild; sure, some have, and many have heard accounts of it from others, but it is hard to make that choice without firsthand experien...

Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...
Me too, but I guess it has something to do with whether a woman would rather take her chances with a man or a bear in a situation where their safety was threatened. Not sure what kind of conclusions are being drawn, other than that some women see men as moire threatening than a wild animal, but I gu...

Re: Rebels Without a Clue
Joe--rioting? What rioting have you seen, except maybe some push back when the police or security seek to clear/arrest them? From what I have seen, the encampments and demonstrators, for want of a better word, have been fairly peaceful, are not occupying buildings, are not preventing others from att...

Meade--to a certain extent I agree with you, but I also think that some of what is being referred to as "pro Hamas" is more pro Palestinian--not the same thing. Likewise, while I'll admit I am not much of a part of the university scene at this time, I can recall a time when any criticism of Israel o...

Re: The God of Spinoza
Drawing on my philosophy courses over 50 years ago, I believe Spinoza described god as the infinite natural force that exists at the base of all and acts as it must act. God is part of everything, and everything is a part of god, but he saw god as constrained to act within the natural world as the n...

And as for Could trump be a dictator if he was elected again?

Re: SCOTUS arguments on presidential immunity
It's well worth a listen, if only to see how most of the justices hold the presidency in higher regard than I think is wise. The idea of some sort of immunity appears to be thought of as necessary for the president to do his/her job--this even came through with the government attorney. I personally ...

Re: Giuliani Sinks Even Lower.....
After Trump, Rudy is the one person I would love to see get a prison sentence; and, unlike with Trump (for reasons I have previously posted and won't go into here), I think there is a legitimate chance of this happening. I can only hope.

Re: Israel at War
Ironically, if the protests would just evaporate, it would make it a lot easier to take a harder line with Israel Perhaps, but without the public pressure, it will make it a lot easier to just ignore the situation and not take a harder line. Yes, there are a lot of jerks (many of them likely antise...

[Some people feel guilty for surviving when their friends died. With that said, I think that a non-recovering drug addict is not qualified to be a parent. In most jurisdictions, this is the case; drug addicted parents are given some time to get treatment and recover, or they lose custody of their k...
