Comment Re:Should we jump to conclusions? (Score 1) 299

... the slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy.

Not if the slope actually is slippery, but the slipperiness of the slope needs to be shown, not just asserted.

Humor:
If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Once begin upon this downward path, you never know where you are to stop. Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder or other that perhaps he thought little of at the time.

... has to know that the whole concept is unconstitutional

Federal beureaucrats don't care about such things. They have no disincentive to cause them to care. They'll propose it anyway. Maybe it'll actually get through. But if not, oh well. Maybe next time. There are no penalties to them for proposing something unconstitutional.

Comment It's a Nanny State law (Score 1) 275

Only children and babies need nannies to protect them from the Big Bad World.

Adults should be able to evaluate terms and conditions and decide for themselves whether or not to do businesss with companies that impose them; competition should weed out the ones that require onerous contracts.

Adults don't need nannies, but residents of California apparently do.
