Since people in DC seem so big on “comprehensive solutions,” I propose a much broader effort than simply repealing ObamaCare. It should be called the “Liberty Restoration Act,” and should be festooned like a Christmas tree with a rollback of much of the federal code (e.g., the idiotic incandescent bulb ban, and toilet specs, and ethanol requirements).
Hearing that the Washington DC government (who wrote and passed the anti-SLAPP law) is going to file an amicus brief on our behalf next week, to accompany those from the news organizations and the ACLU.
Presumably, as with the others, it will not address the merits of the underlying case, but only our right to appeal, in a speedy manner.
A large number of media organizations, as well as the ACLU, have filed amicus briefs supporting our right to a speedy appeal in the mistaken denial of our motions to dismiss the suit against me, Mark Steyn, CEI and National Review. Note that they are not expressing opinions on the underlying merits of the suit, but simply preventing the DC anti-SLAPP law from being undermined.
I’ve always regretted not being bi-lingual. I took Latin in high school, which has been enormously beneficial, but I never spoke it, and I’m really only monolingual. That’s sort of a natural advantage that kids of immigrants have. I don’t know if my half-Iraqi nephew and niece are fluent (they probably just know some words), but I’m sure they’re getting some benefit from hanging out with their mother’s family.
I’d also note, on the education bubble front, that eliminating the requirement of a language for a college degree was an early sign of it.
This is an interesting change, and not one good for the warm mongers. It points out another reason that much of climate science is junk science. It’s not reproducible.
