The Senate approved of a bipartisan budget by voice vote. Trump refused it. Congress did not delegate any responsibility to anyone else.
This bill does not provide any minority any additional power than any other law provides.
I actually agree with you and @Quetzal in that there would undoubtedly be unintended consequences of this law, as there presumably are with most laws. Nevertheless this shutdown was horrible, and could have quickly become irrecoverably devastating. Someone apparently was able to talk some sense...
Perhaps you would be less confused if you quoted what I actually said: "Thus, if you are in fact an entity that lacks free will, then you are unable to choose to assert or to believe a true answer to the question of whether free will exists rather than a false answer.if you quoted what I...
OK, yes, I get that. Still how is that worse than what did happen to many more innocent federal employees? Besides, the scenario you describe will have to happen to a number of 'poor" Congress members, and I find it unrealistic that an extremely bad budget would actually get enacted that way...
Obviously there is no law that forbids the DOJ from tipping off a news outlet about an upcoming raid or arrest. Therefore, if that's what happened in the instant case, I see no reason to be upset by it.
Thank you. The scenario you describe could happen. Nevertheless, why would it be better or more fair to shut down the government and cause so much pain to so many people who can't afford to go without paychecks rather than withholding the paychecks of the members of Congress and the president...
So neither of you are able to cite any evidence by which to conclude that animal-eaters are healthier than vegans, nor that humans need to eat animals. Is that correct? If you can cite such evidence, just do so. There's no need to keep under your skirt.
I don't understand what you mean here. How would this law enable "us" to "leverage the richest Congress person to the poorest Congress person"? Please explain the process you are referring to.
I don't have a clue as to what "the blue zones" are. Be sure to cite and link to all of the evidence you refer to by which to conclude that animal-eaters are healthier than vegans.
It's so informative that those here trying to justify eating animals never address the arguments pertaining to cruelty or the harms to the environment or climate resulting from humans eating animals. It's like an abolitionist putting forth a series of arguments contrary to slavery, including the...
Why the hell would you think that? You haven't engaged in any such pleasantries. Your inability to substantiate your claims won't leave me with egg on my face.
Exactly what responsibilities of Congress are delegated by such a law, and how does it accomplish that?
How would such a law make Congress more partisan? Members of both parties have proposed similar laws. Given the unpopularity of the shutdown and the fact that both parties have proposed such...
The denial of free will (defined as the ability to choose between available options) is self-stultifying, no less than the assertion of epiphenomenalism is self-stultifying. See:
Like Epiphenomenalism, Denial of Free Will is Self-Stultifying
Thus, if you are in fact an entity that lacks free...
