    Must Be The Rarified Air They Breath

    I have been waiting for this decision. I knew it was on the courts calender.

    I am deeply disappointed in the decision to void the cruelty law. I wonder
    what planet these justices live on. They say it's ok to film acts of cruelty (which are illegal).

    It's Sotomayor's doing, everyone knows that Latinos are huge fans of animal fighting.

    If they had decided differently I would have been rather irritated, to put it mildly.

    The decision was 8-1. Not even a close decision. The US Government CANNOT make laws censoring speech. If someone is doing a documentary on an unpopular subject, what's to prevent Congress from quickly making a law saying that that film is illegal?

    Free speech is a fundamental right. This and the McCain-Feingold decision somewhat restore my faith that the USSC is doing its job, regardless of how popular their decisions might be.

    Richard, the vote was 8-1. I hardly think you could blame just one Justice.

    Alito was the hold-out. Good for him

    I am being facetious.

    For pete's sake....They televise the Cubs games, isn't that torture?

    -----------------

    This bust took place up the street from me.

    1,500 animals!


    As much as it pains me to say this? Most cockfighting rings that are busted here in So Cal are run by Mexicans who just cannot seem to let this go.

    And if the truth is known?

    This fact is comparable to the known habits of people who fight dogs.....The idiots that run these 'gladiator' fights probably take better care of the animals than they do their own families.


    Not a badge of honor, nor anything to take pride in. It's one of those 'things' like the SCJ ruling on videos of animals, that are the distasteful part of life.

    IT like the AHs the protest at the funerals of soldiers. I would love to see what they would say after I parked my truck on top of them, but it is one of those "protected" rights that people have.

    No, they were striking down a law which treads on a little thing called the Bill of Rights. (And they didn't even have to create a right or interpret what the founders meant to come to the decision!)

    This made me LMAO! I knew RICHARD was being his usual tounge in cheek self but it was still dang funnay.

    Im not a big fan of the public good or the "greater good", if the .gov is for it.

    This isnt about yelling fire in a movie theater or yelling bomb on an airplane.
