  • Maybe, but the Jews fleeing Germany into Austria probably wished they went somewhere else when the Germans invaded.

    Debt slavery makes that really hard.

  • Yeah! The thing is that fascism follows people when they flee it. When people escaped the Nazis to Austria, the Nazis followed them. Admittedly, it was for expansionist reasons, but:

    My point is Canada might not be the safe harbor it purports to be.

  • Trump: Shooter at White House press dinner had multiple weapons, one officer shot

    Jump

  • Probably. Or a cultist was acting to eliminate the "fake news" that the jackass whines about all the time.

  • The nation state does defense rather than offense with its regular military forces, but that isn't the only way to attack an opponent. I mean, Bin Laden couldn't sink an aircraft carrier. Yet, he still managed to attack America's homeland.

  • A Black man exonerated for murder in Louisiana won an election. Then the state GOP kept him from taking office

    Jump

  • Well, without looking at how the course of things developed, it could be possible for the other another branch to eliminate the position (like if the legislature defunds the position to take effect immediately).

    grandfather clauses.

    On the federal level, once Congress has appropriated funding for something, it cannot be revoked and the executive must spend the money. So, that would be the most grandfather-y thing, but Congress could always defund the program/position next year.

    As for the state level, it looks like funding can be taken away immediately. But, even if it can't, there is no obligation for a state legislature to continue funding something a year later. Basically works like that for everything on the budget. Only true positions that exist are the executive, the lieutenant executive, at least 1 judge, and a few legislators. Everything else is at the financial whims of the legislature. So, you're out if they want you out.

    Jump

  • Administration of the state courts are left up to the states (the legislature and executive). There can be no federal oversight of this because administration of the state courts are left up to the states such that the states don't deny voting b/c age, race, sex; don't have a slave trade like before the Civil War; and the states recognize the Bill of Rights.

    Basically, this is a federalism thing comingling with a state's separation of powers (there is no redress in the state-court system b/c the separation of powers as mentioned above).

  • Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027

    Jump

  • So I'll have reduced millage/charge and extra weight for carrying around this surveillance technology for the government and whose sole benefit will be the government?

    Will I be compensated for this burden? No?

    Would I be penalized for removing it from my car on my own?

    What happens if it "breaks"? Will I be expected to fork over my own money to repair/replace the government's surveilance device? Logically speaking, burdening the car's operating with a regulatory requirement like this could constitute a taking. Then again, it could be a logical extension of Congress's taxing and spending power, but it probably isn't without a strict mandate from Congress to have those devices. Maybe it goes to Congress's powers to regulate interstate commerce.

  • Question: Why are the turbo lasers on a star destroyer only on one side of the ship?

    Jump

  • Oh Right! Its right at the 1:00 mark (film footage time, not including introductory text).

    Well, it was more just a weird laser beam (didn't actually see a cannon barrel), but I'll give it to you.

  • Question: Why are the turbo lasers on a star destroyer only on one side of the ship?

    Jump

  • So apparently the Venators have a big death laser around the lower hangar section. At minute 2:50 it is used to blast a Munificent apart.

    The only time I remember seeing a giant gun out the bottom of the capital ship was in the sequels where a Sith Star Destroyer had a miniature Death Star cannon that was used to destroy a plannet. So, forgive me for asking, but what episode are you talking about that 2:50 mark?

  • Question: Why are the turbo lasers on a star destroyer only on one side of the ship?

    Jump

  • And the imps would just rotate their ship.

    At first I was hesitant to recognize rotating ships as a valid answer, but then /u/Akagigahara reminded me of that episode from The Clone Wars where the Jedi did exactly that to make a "wall" to shield its fighters from a Seperatist ship. I had forgotten about that one. My bad!

  • Question: Why are the turbo lasers on a star destroyer only on one side of the ship?

    Jump

  • I just noticed that you mean the Quad Turbo lasers, the big guns on the top side.

    Right! The really really big ones. I though they were the turbos and the smaller ones werd just turrets of some sort. My bad!

    While they did most likely angle their shields their as well, it would hardly make sense to even do if the underside was specifically weak.

    Right, but the shielding is the key word. I wasn't saying it was weak in that it couldn't have an inventive use. I meant weak in that it had less offensive capabilities for a line fight like at the start of III. I mean, you could eventually cut someone in half with individual sheets of paper doing paper cuts over and over. But using a saw would be more practical.
