"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, ..."
And
"... nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Let's see how SCOTUS tries to get around these
Where did you get the blade from? Kit?
Can you use it for resawing?
While there may be examples of what you are thinking of, I think the most common solution developed by evolution is invertebrates without an exoskeleton, meaning no skeletal structure at all.
Would you please elaborate on your question? What do you mean by an elastic skeletal system?
Can you give an example, even if fictional?
What if we did something to the virus so that it couldn't make us sick, but still made our bodies thing we were sick?
That sounds like socialism which is bad because it's bad. Look what happened in Canada, they didn't pay animal and worker abusingly low prices and now they don't have insanely high prices. Without causing these situations they are denying large parts of their population high sustained cortisol levels.
This is why we need to maintain our threats of annexation. We must provide them the stress that their government denies them.
Well yeah, that's basically what the headline says.
In this administration, having committed fraud is a skill that you list at the top of your resume.
While the game can be "addicting", it is mostly because it is fun to play. Not all "addicting" forms of entertainment need elevated ratings because they are fun to consume. We don't increase the ratings for binge worthy TV shows and we don't restrict books if they are page turners, so why should we with a video game. At some point people need to regulate the use of their time themselves.
Article 1, sec. 8, clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; . . .
And the tenth amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Such a law as you propose would be unconstitutional and the state government could not protects its citizens from the consequences that would come from withholding their taxes. While we're talking about taxes here, the tenth amendment is also what protects citizens in deep red states from their oppressive state governments (despite their best efforts).
Your comment made me wonder what taxes the federal government collects from state governments. As far as I can tell, the IRS does not collect from state governments, but does collect from the residents and businesses of a state.
So while I agree that these states should fight back, I don't think they have any payments that they could withhold. I hope they find a variety of other ways to fix this though.
I hate to defend Disney here, but based on the evidence presented by this article (maybe the actual filing is better) this is hard to see as plagiarism.
Both stories are based on the same cultural stories, so they automatically have similarities there. Maui typically uses a hook in those stories, so of course that is a common element. A portal in a whirlpool is a known trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PortalPool
Monster in a mountain is obviously a trope (e.g. Smaug, etc).
The author of this is really twisting the story in his own favor. He leaves out the part where he launched public personal attacks against other faculty and students.
His department did try to work with him so that he could teach his class (which was completely outside his field of expertise, and is therefore against the general policies). They wanted him to co-teach with someone with knowledge in the field, but at that point he had completely ostricisized himself and no one wanted to work with him.
This is absolutely a situation where someone fucked around with a loaded gun, shot themselves in the foot and is now mad at everyone else because they didn't help him shoot someone else.
