During his campaign, Trump Promised to rip families apart, to Kill the families of Terrorists, to prosecute women who had an abortion, re-institute the practice of torture, to build a useless and ugly wall and get Mexico to pay for it; it was another of his horrendous lies. Now he wants to get...

very appropriate for you.

Ginsberg will have no choice, she'll have to bring her ventilator to court with her until Trump is defeated. McConnell is proving to be the Senate's version of Gingrich. "It's my way or the highway, Fuck the Constitution! The only way Garland will get a vote is over my dead body." Do you...

You don't understand the concept of elasticity in economics, do you? Look it up. There is some remnants of elasticity in some places, but between regulatory capture and medical care's inherent nature practically all the elasticity that might have been there has been wrung out. To prove this...

That's to be expected when you go around grabbing pussies of people you hardly know. It is not uncommon for asshole liars to end up sabotaging themselves. How can you guys support someone that lies continuously to you. When are you going to stand up for yourselves and say enough is enough...

The loan was paid off. The Times does not owe him anything. He doesn't own it, he doesn't control it. Get a grip. He picked up a few shares by exercising some warrants. His shares are a different class than the owners. It's been family owned since the 19th century. In fact I think its...

As long as the means test is set very high so that it only allows the upper say 0.1% of the wealth distribution to opt out, i see no practical problem, though I'm philosophically strongly opposed. But you do realize two things, don't you? 1) there is no capitalist, free market solution to the...

I don't mean like anecdotes. I mean ridiculous stuff like Papa Doc, or whomever, owns the NY Times. Who owns the Times is not something open to "alternative facts".

An inalienable right is a right you are born with without any law specifically giving it to you. For example, Happiness is not an inalienable right, but the right to pursue it is. Bummer. If you start thinking in terms of risk sharing you will figure out a way for everyone to have routine...

Wait a minute. I thought you considered it an inalienable right??? My position is it really doesn't matter. No first rate country denies its citizens access to routine healthcare because they don't have enough money. That was my point. By my measure, the U.S. is a second rate country, or at...

yup. Those are the collective nouns. As an individual you're just a piece of those collections. A surly one at that.

The government, meaning the rest of us, can try, and then wait and see if your going to let us.

Yet more proof. What more proof of the success of the Russian alternative fact brigade do you want? What puzzles me is that the real facts are available at your finger tips, yet you guys don't take the 15 seconds it takes to check them out. Instead you believe, without questioning, all that crap.

Does your benefit not require money? I am more interested in what works in practice, versus what should work, or what I wish would work. In that respect I don't think it much matters whether healthcare is an inalienable right. Universal access to healthcare, as a practical matter, is an...

You're too fast. You should have better things to do with a Sunday afternoon. I edited heavily. To bolster his entire argument, and in this instance consistent with his professed originalism, Scalia fell back on English common law that is the basis for our own U.S. laws. In English law it is...

Patriotism can be a very bad thing, just like an amazing job performance can be a very bad thing. See Mark Twain, who said that the only time you should support your country when it is wrong is when the Republic's life is a stake.

Actually that is not quite correct. But I think you must have meant. " it is a right that is inalienable." Some rights may be argued to be inalienable. The right to health care is perhaps one that it can be argued to have become, in modern times, "inalienable'. Imagine we are at the dinner...

That is ingrained .i.e., instinct, in us. See E.O. Wilson, "The Social Conquest of Earth"

This statement is very curious to me , because this is precisely the message that the organized Russian hackers are promoting through social media. Very, very interesting!!! To say the least! Apparently it is working for them. There main objective seems to be discrediting of the U.S. media --...

Not the majority of voters. Just the minority!
