    I've ordered from Temu, occasional annoyances; example, a zippered jacket with the slider designed for left-hand operation. The cam in #413 is about the exact opposite of what I'm looking for. I need no bells & whistles. And 1080P is tolerable for broadcast TV. But not good enough for this...

    I'm not sure there's any statute or precedent protecting privacy in public, specifically on public roadway. There may be a warrantless search / probable cause angle. BUT ! Again, I suspect such argument has already been tried, and rejected. "There is no law that says we have to go to...

    Considered purely as a hypothetical I can find no obvious error in #409. BUT ! It's a two-edged sword. IF that were the legal standard, then how would home owners make use of doorbell cams, and dash-cams, and home security cameras, for matters as simple as "porch pirates" (stealing a UPS...

    Sanity Check Roe v. Wade was a tremendous success for women's Liberty, and after half a century was regarded by many as "settled law". The the Roberts court nuked it in its Dobbs decision reversal. #184 suggests we may have to re-battle "separate but equal" as well. Dark-skinned students can...

    Potentially perhaps, if Watson was issued an illegal order. Not clear to me what the legal basis would be for complicity regarding action he both opposed, AND was not party to, apart from membership in the organization that perpetrated it, the U.S. military.

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    Onlookers mystified by behavior they've witnessed commonly make the mistake of concluding: I (the witness) don't understand it, therefore the witnessed is stupid. It's a conclusion that's commonly wrong. We ought not be surprised if Major Watson brought others to his protest. Acting alone, he...
