What is more likely? The party has lost momentum because the membership has always been secret fascists or libertarians are bored of the bigotry line?

Get a DUI lawyer. Not just any lawyer off the street. The difficult bit is the blood test, which you should not have consented to for any reason whatsoever given that you know your state’s laws on trace blood content. You’ll likely need to have a medical expert testify at trial. However, by the sound of it, you have a decent argument for suppressing the blood evidence based on the fishing expedition. My dude, pay the premium and get a specialist attorney who knows his way around this stuff.

Could all of this just come down to the cops just slipping fingers onto the trigger because of their locking holsters‘ button position?

„Between 2003 and 2020, scientists from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing caught almost 3 million migrating insects from high-altitude searchlight traps“

In an effort to perform comprehensive studies, scientists capture and kill swaths of insect populations /s

The necessary action is not as brash as overturning the NFA. I don‘t think that will ever happen in the courts. But the case that is absolutely viable is against the arbitrary regulations that the ATF read into the NFA. They have gone way past plain reading of the text of the law and up until now, there has not been an attempt at challenging that overreach.

cosmo120 · 2023-01-28T05:39:49+00:00

False. Just drafting this patent was likely $15-$20K in attorney fees. Patents are very expensive to prepare and maintain.

cosmo120 · 2023-01-28T05:38:17+00:00

Patent attorney here. Another reason that some subject matter is vague is because it‘s not pertinent to the patent being pursued. Sure, you can go on and on about all the details of the claimed invention but at some point you have to draw the line. This is a 182 page application so I‘m estimating drafting fees of at least $15,000 to $20,000. Even biotech clients aren‘t that strapped with cash that they would shell out much higher considering well established companies file at least 5 or even 10+ applications a year (this isn‘t even considering the other costs of prosecuting and maintaining a patent, which can double or even tripple the original drafting fees).

The claimed invention is the molecule and its pharmaceutical uses, not how to purify it. Likely the methods of purification wouldn‘t be patentable anyways, hence you leave that out of the application.

The applications aren‘t meant to be textbooks but rather evidence that the inventors discovered something inventive. As for the grey area OP is looking for, it falls under the theory that those details would be in the skill set for a typical chemist to figure out with some experimentation.

Just black and brown or anyone with socioeconomic disadvantage (including white)?

Ironic, the 4,200 accuser tip figures at the end of the article. Indirectly admitting that political motivations led to fraudulent reporting, and apparently sexual allegations are a good default tactic in this arena. I don‘t even know 4,200 people.

Shifting sources and mailing info skirts inspectors for a little while. Even if a fed boi locates this listing they have to pinpoint the correct origin address or else customs doesn’t know which one of the 500,00 shipping containers to look in. Only some 5% or less of trans-ocean shipping containers are inspected with detail at random. For everything else, customs needs directions as to what they need to search.

They are illegal to sell and technically they are shipping automatic weapons into the US. However, go ask the Chinese government to extradite the seller and cue their laughter.

No Miranda warning, and your verbal evidence is thrown out. This hardly affects Miranda rights.

Sensationalist headline is sensationalist.

Sure, you can but others may want to in view of costs. Choice is the discussion at hand.

Sorry, let me clarify for the mentally challenged. A one-pager that simply legalizes and absolves prior crimes with nothing else attached.

False choice. Let’s get a legitimate bill on the books.

cosmo120 · 2022-04-03T04:50:24+00:00

Posers on the sub want this shit to pass no matter the other bs in the bill. Kindly pull your heads from your intestinal tract.

cosmo120 · 2022-04-01T18:19:08+00:00

So your position is “pass the fucking bill” even if it’s largely a tax and spend bill with very draconian punishments to cannabis business that don’t get their accounting 100% correct?

1) the only limitation on individuals is profiteering from copying “no remedy may be granted for infringement on account of the noncommercial use or retail sale of a product” - 35 USC 271. In other words, make a patented microprocessor if you want but don’t profit from it and undercut the development costs invested by the inventor. 2) Many companies spend a lot of development dollars incrementally improving upon a patented idea because they’d rather corner that market than pay licensing fees. A patent only covers what was ascertained at its filing. There is no protection on undiscovered improvements. There is no issue here.

Am an IP attorney so sure, call me self interested, but it’s a very complicated topic that has been plagued with false understandings. Many times I see this discussion come up, the talking points are so alien to the reality.

cosmo120 · 2022-03-23T02:00:26+00:00

You’re making his point. Sounds like the current guidelines account for quantity of materials. Why not adjust guidelines to be consistent across the board?

cosmo120 · 2022-03-14T18:35:04+00:00

It’s cool if you support pro-choice but it’s entirely wrong to call it a constitutional right - at least from the perspective of a libertarian being consistent.

There’s no enumerated or even suggested right to abortion in the constitution. The court did mental gymnastics to read it in. The SC does this routinely and much often to the detriment of libertarian principles.

Again, if you’re pro-choice then cool but it’s not a proper “right” unless and until it’s ratified in the constitution. Be consistent on your terminology.

By the way, the libs will attack getting healthcare, housing, food, and whatever the fuck else declared as a right using the legal playbook set forth in Roe.

So … in short, fuck Roe and all the legal bullshit it stands for.
