It is possible to do that in many parts of the United States. There was a story about a couple sending the Sheriff to a Bank of America branch to seize assets to pay a court-ordered judgement that Bank of America declined to pay.

The specific rules probably vary by state and possibly by municipality.

The number of small businesses making over 250,000 per year is around 3%. The number of small businesses making $1M per year or more in profits is even smaller than that. This proposal won't adversely effect small businesses.

It has been a crappy time to be a librarian for the last ten years, at least. The projected wave of retirement among librarians never happened, at least not in the U.S. However, there are a lot of other M.Sc-level fields in the States are paid about the same. As a Residence Life Coordinator I made about what a starting librarian makes, and maybe 10k a year (around 40K) more when I moved into institutional research. Should've become a biologist

You need to retain competent counsel. Do not file a pro se suit against anyone. Do not try to go it alone. Unfortunately, with the primitive protections provided in most At-Will states, you will be hung out to dry in short order. Your reputation will be damaged, possibly beyond repair, and you will have difficulty working as a sysadmin. Posting as much detail as you did on Slashdot was probably not the brightest idea you've ever had.

Your arguments are spurious. I provided a legal precedent where the "general welfare" clause in the pre-amble had been used to support the government doing something in the public interest. I don't personally think that the healthcare reform bill passed by Congress was actual reform, but I also don't think it was unconstitutional. Yes, it helps that insurance companies are no longer allowed to refuse coverage for pre-existing conditions or, presumably, to charge people with pre-existing conditions so much for coverage that they can't afford it, but it still doesn't address the problem of a for-profit, predatory insurance industry, either.

Ellis v. City of Grand Rapids is interesting precedent.

The Preamble to the Constitution seems to give the government the authority to provide for the "general welfware" of the people of the United States. Healthcare is a pretty big part of "general welfare" for most people. My job had to stop providing health insurance last year. I have COPD and some other chronic conditions... I can't afford to pay for healthcare 100% on my own and still pay my rent and other bills. So... I have untreated medical conditions. I get sick more often. I can work less and am less productive. If I could go to the doctor when I needed to and get the appropriate care, I would miss less work due to illness and probably overall be healthier. A healthy workforce is a productive workforce. Most other "First World" countries realized this a long time ago. I'm really surprised the conservative element in the United States hasn't latched on to universal healthcare due to increased worker productivity.

That's an interesting perspective on the ability to roll your tongue.

Well, the appendix is a good example of the conservative nature of evolutionary change. There are more than a few genetic traits that have no evolutionary advantage and yet still persist, like attached earlobes or the ability to roll your tongue.

(According to dictionary.com)

Yes, insomnia and having atypical schedule are different. The OP equates the two. But I'd like to discuss the prejudice there is against people who get up late. For some reason generally people believe someone who gets up at noon is lazy. And someone who gets up at 3:00 pm is a misfit. Actually, civilization wouldn't function without people getting up at those times.
