"WRONG. This "judicial activism" stuff is crap. The courts are not suppose to blindly obey the laws congress passes. Haven't you heard of "checks and balances"? They, along with the president, are suppose to keep congress in check. Congress giving the courts "latitude" is irrelevant. The courts are suppose to strike down unjust laws (you know, things that violate the constitution)."

Where did the law validated violate the Constitution?

While I do NOT like this decision, it does seem Constitutional. Bad laws can be Constitutional, and still be BAD.

I live in Tennessee. This is an unenlightened state, where they think that a homeowner can "defend" himself in his own home, using evil GUNS, of all things. Frankly, I am terrified living here. Who do these thugs think they are, trying to protect themselves from downtrodden Techs who are simply trying to relieve the stress of the job?

Yeah, and verizon going into drooling CYA mode will not help them. If they were smart, they would have fired his ass right away and offered the guy he beat on something. Hell, a year of free service might have been enough. Now, VERIZON is getting a black eye in public, and looking like idiots who condone thuggish behavior by their Techs. Really makes ME want to get their service...

More of a head mounted display. For years (decades?) there have been a stream of funky helmets and various types of modified eyeglass and goggle type gadgets. They always seem to be "coming out next year", but then, the company folds.

Is there really no demand for these? Other than me...

They go into the juvie system, and wind up criminals? The article did not say that, but it was implied.

Well, let's see: you are enough of a thug to get sent to juvie, and dumb enough that you got caught and sent to juvie. In juvie, your hand was lightly slapped, and you were turned loose. Get caught again, get lightly slapped again. While there, hang out with more thugs.

Later, you turn 18, and SURPRISE, you get sent to REAL JAIL. Where you become "bubba's bitch".

Point is, if you weren't a dumbass thug to begin with, you would not be sent to juvie.

The first couple of seasons of DS9 were mostly character development and talk. When they FINALLY got the Dominion War started, the action started. There may be more space battles in DS9 as in the rest of the franchises combined.

And, Voyager actually has quite a bit of action. Not that I'm a massive Voyager fan.
