It doesn't mean that - it means that the status of the constitutionality is still open to question. This ruling takes no position on that, just that Congress did not authorize it. Congress could pass a law tomorrow authorizing it, THEN it could be challenged on grounds of constitutionality.

On the other hand, we find that various mooks make spurious brutality claims, the vast majority of which are complete bullshit.

You're making Mr. Flibble very cross!

Rain would be a far bigger story.

He was being ironic before irony was cool.

It's about time someone defunded this utterly ridiculous and transparent scam.

In strip poker against a computer, *nobody wins*

Can I get someone to knit me a wool cap, that I can then wear all the time, even in the summer?

How are you "sticking it to megacorp"? They look at your tattoo and fedora (or perpetually-worn knit cap)and dismiss you as a hipster doofus. That's really sticking it to them alright.

It's been called a WORKSHOP or some close equivalent in various languages for something like 2000 years now! Why the heck do we need to make up a stupid name for it?

The Russian hole drilling had to stop because it go so hot that the drill was losing its hardness - at around 9 miles! I agree that the is probably meters VS miles.

Of course most people hate him.

By the way, "lack of distance" has been considered a feature, not a bug, for decades. The current US FM band (87.5-107.9 mHz) was chosen* to minimize "skip" transmission on the earlier, lower, band. This prevents stations from interfering as easily, and thus increases the number of stations permissible in a particular local listening area. There are still "clear channel" 50,000 watt AM stations that occupy exclusive frequencies for the entire country - they were trying to avoid that.

*partly - the other part was marginally a conspiracy to put Howard Armstrong's nascent FM network out of business by making the frequencies it operated on illegal. However, in fact, the lower frequency 42-49 mHz band *did* have the tendency to skip sometimes, and with the superior signal to noise ratio of wideband FM, could sometimes be clearly be heard at remarkable distances - or interfere with local stations at remarkable distances.

Right. Just let people die of curable disases to avoid antibiotic resistance.

I think he is saying the field is shit and should be disregarded.
