Individuals can do anything unless there's a law that specifically forbids something/that thing.
Governments, on the other hand, can do nothing unless there's a law that specifically authorizes a particular action.
The police shouldn't be allowed to sign contracts (especially with NDAs) unless there's a law that specifically allows it. Elected officials should be allowed to revoke signing authority that's been given./div>
Actually, I came to say: So, when a church doesn't pay taxes, it means everyone else has to pay more taxes, so how about charging taxes back to a church when it says something that offends someone?/div>
That and: for the government, isn't it the case that the government is allowed to do do nothing, unless there's a law specifically authorizing it to do something?
D'oh... That sentence - Ff the Globe's article on this story, where the sentence- with the type should have read:
Suppose that in the Globe's article, the sentence "In a potentially..." that the word "ruling" as a clickable link, it would be linked to a search page...
FTA: *[Note: Ruling not provided by the Globe and Mail for whatever reason. -1 to G&M's JOURNALISM skill.]
Ff the Globe's article on this story, where the sentence "In a potentially significant 5-2 ruling" had the word "ruling" as a clickable link, it would be to a search page for the word "ruling" in all G&M articles (usually from ten years ago to fifteen ago, plus yesterday), not to the actual ruling itself as anyone familiar with the Web would expect.
It's one of the main reasons I don't go to MSM news sites for information. It friggin' drives me bonkers./div>

Maybe the FCC means 'Analysis'
I hope they'll make a hard copy of the roll call.

There, fixed it for you./div>
Now that the jury has decided that the cops were incompetent
Well, given how the NSA mangles language...
Except for the parts where every word in their statement means something completely different from what the rest of the world thinks it does./div>

Re: Re: it gets worse
Uh, aren't those exceptions called "Amendments"?

Y'know, the reverse of the case for people.

Globe & Mail's clickable words policy
Ff the Globe's article on this story, where the sentence "In a potentially significant 5-2 ruling" had the word "ruling" as a clickable link, it would be to a search page for the word "ruling" in all G&M articles (usually from ten years ago to fifteen ago, plus yesterday), not to the actual ruling itself as anyone familiar with the Web would expect.
