If you read even the links the guy has provided, you see that the story is far from as clear as he makes it sound. It's another case of crappy journalism that K5 promotes as fast as it can because it fits 60% of the users' philosophy.

I'm sick and tired of having to debug stories myself.

I didn't say that I don't read Kuro5shin. I was just commenting on the link. It didn't get throught my Kuro5hit filter.

It was a joke on my part Nic. To be honest, the story really didn't hold my interest.

I posted this in the current Ashcroft thread, but props must be given to the judges in this case for having some cojones.

Not that it'll matter when it goes before Scalia & Co., of course, but I'll give the 9th Circuit full points as well.

I don't know what to think of the Court anymore. Scalia voted for giving the guy in Texas a chance to argue over a racially-stacked jury. Thomas was the only one that voted against that. Strange...
