Louis D. Brandeis was a wise man. Would we could all be so wise in our perspectives.

Well, that may have been his view before 1662.

But then, Blaise was a mathematician.

What was he thinking?

Good to know as precedent. It should herald similar decisions in other states - if we're lucky.

The Sedition Act was allowed to expire in 1800.

Moot point today.

Supposedly true but less and less in the last 30 years.

Judge Sykes is likely correct. It just hasn't been adequately tested in court - therefore the 'likely'.

Individual officers will sometimes insist it is not so despite the fact that it is so.

What they're counting on is a person's reluctance to take it to court and a possible appeal.

That's how it works.

It could be talking about every luminary who ever preached.

"Natural law does not prohibit."

Um, . . . it actually does in some cases. Take the case of humans flying unassisted by other means or the case of humans or most other terrestrial creatures walking on the bottom of the seas unassisted by other means or curing cancer by wishful thinking. The list is endless.

"Why is there a ‘prestige’ associated with government? Is it a slave’s need for a master?"

"Why is there a ‘prestige’ associated with the Pope? Is it a slave’s need for a master?"

"Why is there a ‘prestige’ associated with priesthood? Is it a slave’s need for a master?"

"Why is there a ‘prestige’ associated with Top Brass? Is it a slave’s need for a master?"

"Why is there a ‘prestige’ associated with a tribe's chief? Is it a slave’s need for a master?"

Well Daryl Gates is dead - after being forced to resign following the 1992 Los Angeles riots triggered by the Rodney King incident.

It wasn't a loss.

"Most marijuana smokers are Negroes, Hispanics, jazz musicians, and entertainers." . . .

In other words "Most marijuana smokers are people."

No kidding!

Consider the source. He probably beat his children as well.

That's not a quote. That's a treatise. A treatise I agree with, but still a treatise.

Please point to one instance where a private party (not the State or Federal Government) is in possession of a piece of real property under an unencumbered Land Patent.

What? This is news? To whom?

I agree but let's agree to give that right to straight people as well - out of magnanimity.

An ideal indeed and not held by evangelicals.

Drones at home. NSA boundless.

How're we doin'?

In fact there is no land under federal law which is immune to eminent domain seizure. That means there is no such thing as actual allodial title in the US.

All the talk in the world doesn't change that fact.

protestent: French for 'in the act of protesting' as in

Il est protestent de votre chemise.

In the act of expostulating or remonstrating.

. . . therefore, . . . what?

"Real property which is held in allodial title is a freehold held in absolute ownership, without obligations to any other person, organization, or government. It is distinguished from fee simple, which is freehold ownership limited by certain government powers, including the powers of taxation. Allodial title is usually used as an abstract concept to contrast land ownership from feudalism.

You cannot obtain an allodial title for your property under federal U.S. law. Some state constitutions refer to allodial title, but it does not exist in practise. Until 2005, Nevada used to have a law which allowed you to make your land allodial for property tax purposes under state law. No other state has an allodial law. This is because the right to own property in U.S. law is a limited right and not an absolute right."

"Real estate refers to what is upon the land"

Partly correct IF the reference is to things ATTACHED PHYSICALLY to the land because the title is to the land itself and not to things which are not attached to the land.
