and the Supreme Court found that their means of discrimination were Constitutional. With respect to the 14th amendment the Supreme Court ruled that it "did not add to the privileges and immunities of a citizen. It simply furnished an additional guaranty for the protection of such as he already had." So, if the states already had laws on the books that defined "citizens" as "white males," then the 14th amendment did not extend that definition to include minorities and women. Further, it hadn't been clear up until that point whether suffrage itself is a Constitutionally guaranteed right. In fact, the Court cited the 15th Amendment as "proof" that extra protection was needed to allow suffrage for all races. ( MINOR v. HAPPERSETT, 88 U.S. 162 (1874) But the 15th Amendment did not cover gender...thus the 19th, which did not happen until the 20th Century...and with respect to other laws, etc, while states were no longer able, per the 15th Amendment, to have election laws that limited voting to "white males," they were still able to limit and effectively prevent black voting by establishing literacy standards, maintaining the Poll Tax, etc.

So minorities and women were given equal rights by the Civil War? The 19th Amendment was not necessary? The "Voting Rights Act of 1965" was not necessary? ....

Yeah, it's not as much "right" as "dated." And in fact, when you look past the actual numbers and (gasp) read why the "plan" is bogus, you'll find this gem:

What about Bio-Diesel? Same idea, different fuel...

No, Throatwarbler Mangrove.

alleged suicide bomber...

"It's just a flesh wound."

and my understanding was that it was unpronouncable by humans...

You should have come here first. We would have diagnosed it properly, put some ICE on it and it would have been better in no time. Now you have to have surgery. Teaches you to go to those quacks! Seriously, Rich, hope things go well.

So the shoes bounced off the kid's hands? Maybe the problem isn't Losman's feet...maybe his shoes are just too springy.

If you look at the matchups, you'll notice that they are this week's games. The last couple of weeks of pre-season are "pickable" as practice runs. In other words, use the next couple of weeks to get used to the system, then everything will get wiped out for week one of the regular season (everyone starts with a score of 0 again...).

"Nerds and cool" actually, but it was a story I had seen within the last couple of weeks, so I knew what I was looking for. Just my way of lobbying for the return of the :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: smiley.

Well, after the Colts game the Coaches probably said the first lineman to false start has to pay for "Team Pizza Night" this week...

Well, if you think there's a chance your mom might be lying about his death, Here are some zabasearch results that came up. A couple have birthdates in the right range...

Yeah, and when they ask if you have any firearms, say "What do you need?"

I think the problem is in the spelling of the name. Split it up and naturally you want to pronounce 'o' followed by a single 's' as Lows. The way to fix it is for JP to draw attention to his play, one way or the other. Hopefully because he's playing really well. Now Tim Euhus on the other hand... Maybe we can get the Riddler to call all the sports radio talk shows around the country and tell his little story about his Pats fan friend...

The point was to not misappropriate the Bills name to construe that a program you are putting on is sanctioned/produced/licensed by the team. Thus shows/content called "The Bills Report" is not usable but "Buffalo Sports Report" is. Trademarks 101, WNSA was complaining the same way last year....remember the whole schpiel with Howard referring them by a weird name? Mr. Clutch, being the webmaster I'm sure you can provide links to other "non-sanctioned" use that you refer to? Still don't see how this prevents WGR from doing a "PostGame Show?"

It's true.

Last I checked Sobieski wasn't taking a roster space... Also, WRT the D, you always have to consider the fact that Adams for one is notorius for playing pre-season in 2nd gear...and consider the play-calling, planning (none), etc. If the Bears 1st string O scores 5 TD's against our starting D, I'd be worried. But if they score a TD and/or rack up 100 or so yards against our D, I won't be looking for a bridge to jump off...

For the next 4 months at least...Cellino was suspended for 6 months a couple months ago. He can apply for reinstatement after that.

Sounds like another successful "Kids Day" at the Ralph.

Woohoo! Happy Birthday!!

Will I ever find myself calling 454-2020? Not unless a good business takes that number after Cellino and Barnes are finally both disbarred...

Did you tell Ramius' girlfriend that he isn't full house-trained yet? If not, shame on you!

That's how it started.
