I entirely disagree that Kelo is not applicable. This is what O'Connor wrote in her dissent.

"Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random. The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms."

I'd like to find the decision. The constitution makes no mention of eminent domain. I don't think Kelo was solely limited to eminent domain cases.

No, but it is a case of government seizing private property and giving it to another private entity, "for the public good".

Kelo v New London.

You can thank Kelo v New London and our so called liberal Supreme Court justices Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer for this. At least that's the best I can come up with.

No. The 2A clearly states that "the people" shall have the right to bear arms. They could have said militia, but didn't.

Why should I go to college for CS, if I know I will have to compete with some low-paid dude from China? I can't pay back my $80K in student loans that way.

Yes, and then American engineers won't have to compete with low-paid H1B's. It's about time we have a meaningful increase in median income.

Sure, the industrial revolution created a great need for labor. People legally immigrated from all over the world. Now, we have no great economic revolution. There is no great need for labor. And people are illegally entering the country by the thousands. There are millions here. We ignore the law, and let them work illegally. And now we are considering increasing the amount of legal immigrants, because supposedly there is some great need for labor. Really? Let's get the employment ratio back up to 70% or so, and then we can talk about it. Immigration policy is designed to control the entry of immigrants, it's time we started treating that way.

No, actually some American schools are bad at teaching math. We still have plenty of math geniuses who were home schooled or managed to escape the public system.

My point is that if Aereo is correct and the SC is wrong, then Dish might not need broadcast licenses. Moot at this point.

I never liked that saying, because a point in time is infinitely brief.

I agree with some of your points. Aereo differs from Dish Network in that every customer is served from a unique streamed file. The files are also created when the customer demands it rather than being served from a common stored file like you would see in on demand service with the cable company.

Maybe in your world.
