It is not the same as the US one although misleadingly copying the name, and until recently was The Law Lords, judges also sitting in an advisory capacity in the House of Lords, but separated fairly recently for clearer separation between Parliament and Judiciary. Cases that reach that high, beyond Appeal Court level, may well test the Statute Law as well as the facts of the individual case. Further of course, these lawyers may have to advise Parliament on international law: the UK is a signatory to and active in, an enormous number and range of treaties, organisations and agreements. The guest was the British barrister Philippe Sands, a leading expert o... less

Do you think we'll be former blurtees pretty soon? im just tired of searching for replacement sites to use after sodahead went down.. its gonna make matters worse IF blurtit closes too.
es it no wonder we have a hard time at it. Is the whole system of work for pay and livelihood becoming obsolete in a world with far more people than there are jobs for them to do?

He is very good at hitting back hard when he is criticized. He prides himself on that. What speech could he possibly give that inspires you? Why do you think he is capable of inspiring anyone?

It worked just swell! For Republicans like Mitch McConnell partisanship means always being on the exact opposite side of an issue that Democrats are on no matter how dumb they look doing it. They sluff it off. Truth is not what matters. They think no one notices what they are doing. EVERYONE notices what they are doing. Why do you think Republicans are ridiculed? For doing exactly that. Coming up with something workable and then badmouthing it when Democrats agree and embrace it. Being opposed to everything the opposition accepts is where it's at for Republicans. Whose very dumb idea was that? It was not always that way. Who was the smarta** who changed things to make them unworkable?. Can anyone explain that to me logically without attacking/insulting me for daring to ask the question? less
Are you allowed to venture beyond and explore or is there is strict rule that anything worth knowing is already within your bubble and everything outside it are all lies?

In it, the author included a saying that has stayed with me for life:A man who is not a Liberal at sixteen has no heart; a man who is not a Conservative at sixty has no head. —Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)
I am really interested in your thoughts on this. Do you agree with Disraeli's analysis or not? And why?

Other of Trumps choices say, contrary to their leader, that Russia IS an adversary. But, after they're confirmed they'll carry out TRUMP'S policy - NOT their own.. Trump SAID that he'll torture, and he SAID he wouldn't.. Who knows what's true? So, IF Trump ORDERS torture, will he be STOPPED??excon

Will Federal Troops ordered to crush American citizens do so or will they defy Trump? Would they be imprisoned for ignoring his orders?
