A company that was founded in the USA and was suffering financially was purchased by a German publishing house, and placed with that publishing house's @SpringerNature division.
So, when you read that @SciAm has endorsed @JoeBiden, remember that a formerly American publication, now owned by yet another German company that got its start carrying water for Hitler and the Nazis, endorsed #Biden.
In #1850, the federal #Congress enacted the #FugitiveSlaveAct.
Under the law, escaped persons would be recaptured in Free States and returned to their enslavement in the South. More, aiding the escapees became a FEDERAL CRIME punishable by fine and or imprisonment.
It is a true, but little-known, anecdote of the #GreatTyrant, #AbrahamLincoln, litigated fugitive slave cases under the #FugitiveSlaveAct. Lincoln represented a slave owner seeking to recover his "property."
The act was not popular or well-received at the time. Compromises are difficult to make when one does not recognize the equal human dignity of others. Many Northern States did nothing to further the recapturing of fugitive slaves or did not do so until compelled by order.
@elonmusk @CommunityNotes Would your views on the propriety of such courts change if the Court's religious identity was Jewish? United Kingdom has both Sharia courts and Beth din, or rabbinical courts. No person can be made subject to their jurisdiction except under terms of England's arbitration Act.
@elonmusk @CommunityNotes Also, take care and thinking that parallel systems of adjudication are necessarily dangerous to societal advancement. Many a plaintiff would happily get rid of mandatory arbitration, which of course is also extrajudicial.
@elonmusk @CommunityNotes Here, in the US , We have addressed these issues fairly handily in the United States by allowing individuals the freedom to arrange their relationships in this manner while guaranteeing their right to step away from any religion or its obligation.
The notion of a general amnesty for misconduct alleged by failure to register or by failure to report when called to serve -- which was granted in fact by #JimmyCarter -- could guide your actions on behalf of #J6PoliticalPrisoners.
Did @FaniWillis instruct #nathanwade to lie about #WhiteHouse meetings? Did she know he'd be lying about those meetings in court beforehand?
Did she warn the Court?
Did she report to the @StateBarofGA?
@amuse @FaniWillis @StateBarofGA What might interest the Georgia Bar about the conduct of the Fulton County Prosecutor's Office? Why might disbarment be appropriate for all attorneys working in the FCDA's office?
@amuse @FaniWillis @StateBarofGA For 40 years, I have studied, practiced, and taught law. I have assisted in defense of #barcounsel and #judicialconduct investigations on several occasions.
@tomcolicchio Men, within 60 days of their 18th birthday, are required to register with the United States selective service. Women are not. .
@tomcolicchio Men can be convicted for a felony offense for failing to do so. Women can never be prosecuted for that felony offense.
@tomcolicchio That we have not called people to service with the draft does not mean that we are not preparing to do so at all times, and we are using force of law to compel men, but not women, to participate in that registration.
@MiaFarrow Do you know what it looks like when a family is fracturing due to pressure? Well of course you do. Maybe, instead of wondering where things went wrong with Woody allen, you should go to a grocery store in a Suburban or rural community and study the struggle.
@MiaFarrow Standing in the check out line the other day, an elderly African-American couple who preceded me went through the painful process of putting back four non frivolous grocery items that they could not get with the remaining balance on their Bank account.
@MiaFarrow You think Biden is doing something to help people? He is crushing middle class families, working people, and people for whom there is no margin of leisure, only a constant strain to balance meager existence against crushing inflation.
