I don't really agree with the characterization of it as a "free ride". Yes, it's using a few fractions of a cent in power it wouldn't otherwise use, but that's a rounding error. Outside of that, what costs are the customer being asked to bear?
The preamble of the Constitution does not contain any prescriptive doctrine, so that establishes no rights.
That said, the authoritarian's desire for a crime-free environment means that the actions of the police are really accomplishing the exact opposite of establishing justice, insuring domestic tranquility and promoting the general welfare.
"You have to draw the line between your right as a citizen to privacy and a community's right to live in a crime-free environment. You can't have them both," Mills said.
And that right there is a great summary of a major part of what has gone wrong with law enforcement in the US.
It's probably already done, but given that most locks that use a physical key can be easily picked and all locks can be easily cut with bolt cutters, I don't see this as making the lock any less secure than the old-fashioned kinds.
I see where that joke was trying to go, but it doesn't work.
127.0.0.1 is a non-routable address that every machine with an IP stack has whether or not they're connected to the internet. Which means that an ISP removing service doesn't do anything relevant to the takedown request.
Also, Google doesn't index anything with that address (for what I hope are obvious reasons), so they're already effectively "delisted".
I don't think that's what's happening here. This sounds more like they feel that trademark law would be used as a weapon to hinder them from being part of the majority.
In this case, though, there was no amount of compromise that would get the Republicans to agree to anything. This was an overt strategy on the part of Republican leadership that they discussed publicly.
The idea was to obstruct every single thing that came from Democrats so that during elections seasons they could claim that Democrats failed to accomplish anything.
I think this is the best example of how utterly broken the takedown mechanism is. You can sortof understand how actual sites could get mistakenly caught up in the net, but the inclusion of 127.0.0.1 is so utterly and completely braindead (and trivially avoided) that their inclusion is a straight-up admission that the filers aren't doing even the most basic checking.

He can, yes. And he'll face a kangaroo court where there is nearly no chance of getting a fair trial or anything like justice.
I totally understand why he wouldn't want to do that.
