    Do you know where this picture was taken? I've seen rectangular or square holes in semi doors before but not round ones. The holes are there mainly for ventilation to dissipate heat if they're carrying wood chips, sawdust, produce, etc.

There have always been, are now, and always will be freedom-hating, divisive malcontents that will do what they feel they need to do to divide this country. Then they hide behind the First Amendment when they are called out for flag burning. What I'm wondering is where in the Constitution does it say flag burning is any sort of "speech"? :)  less

This would require that Roe v Wade is actually consistent with the Constitution, which it surely is not. Even pro-abortion legal scholars are aware that Roe v Wade lacks any legal merit. Not long after Roe v Wade was decided, some legal scholars condemned the decision because it's is bad constitutional law, or rather because it is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be. The Constitution granted limited powers to the federal government, namely commerce and defense.

Why?, Because it is We The People (Democrat and Republican) who vote them (Democrat and Republican) into office in the first place. We The People are better at pointing our fingers at others for the messes we have than we are at taking responsibility for our own actions. Crying, whining, moaning, and complaining about it won't help matters any. You should have done your candidate research before you voted. If you believe that a certain woman or man is a dreg of a politician, then vote to remove them from office in the next election. That's how our system works. Pretty simple. If you don't like our Constitutional form of government, I don't know what to tell you other than pack up and move to a country where their form of government better suits your wants and needs. :)  less

The true meaning of love has been corrupted in the common usage of our English language and society. Most often, love is confused with infatuation - that elated, "high" feeling we get when we "fall in love." This kind of "love" is something that lasts usually a year or less, and unless replaced by true love, results in broken relationships and the terrible aftermath that sometimes accompanies it. :)

In the case of Trump, the “obstruction” would "likely" come from conversations he had with Comey.

(Collins English Dictionary)Keeping in mind the above definition, I do not go with the flow. I meet life head on and deal with whatever may come my way. I accomplish this one day at a time without letting someone tell me what to do. Living life in that manner keeps me from simply ebbing away. That is the life well lived. Why? Because it means I'm an individual and not a lemming. Just in case you aren't aware of what I mean by lemming I'll explain. Lemming is a derogatory term used to reference a person who seemingly does not possess any form of individual thought, and instead, mindlessly follows the behaviors and actions of the masses. :)  less

It's a federal law passed in 1993 that is intended to "prevent other federal laws from substantially burdening a person's free exercise of religion." You are jumping all over Mike Pence, a Republican for signing it but keep in mind the following.The legislation was introduced by Rep. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on March 11, 1993, and passed by a "unanimous U.S. House and a near-unanimous U.S. Senate" with three dissenting votes. Near all Democrats and Republicans voted for it. A true act of bipartisanship. Something sadly lacking today. The bill was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.Imagine that, Chuck Schumer a "Democrat" introduced the legislation and Bill Clinton a "Democrat" signed it into law. Why pounce on Pence, a Republican, when it was the Democrats who introduced the legislation in the first place? Are you against bipartisanship or are you against Pence for being the Vice President to President Trump or are you against both bipartisanship and P...    less

There have always been, are now, and always will be freedom-hating, divisive malcontents that will do what they feel they need to do to divide this country. Then they hide behind the First Amendment when they are called out for flag burning. What I'm wondering is where in the Constitution does it say flag burning is any sort of "speech"? :)  less

"Care to explain how Alabama is getting away with banning abortion"?  Roe v Wade does "not" supersede state law. The Constitution granted limited powers to the federal government, namely commerce and defense (Article 1, Section 8) Outside of a few restrictions on the states in Article I, Section 10, everything else is a state issue. As the Tenth Amendment says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”  Roe v Wade turned the Tenth Amendment on its head, as the Supreme Court struck down state laws banning abortion on the basis that they that violated the "Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment" The Supreme Court invented this idea of “substantive” due process, which is code word for the Court doing whatever it sees fit.

Not long after Roe v Wade was decided, some legal scholars condemned the decision because it's is bad constitutional law, or rather because it is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be. The Constitution granted limited powers to the federal government, namely commerce and defense.

The word "impeachment" is "popularly" used to indicate both the bringing of charges in the House and the Senate vote on removal from office.
