...displays its amassed correspondence from corporate lawyers who have written by the dozen to give notice of copyright infringement. Take this response in 2004 to complaints by the U.S.-based gaming software giant Entertainment Arts: "Hello and thank you for contacting us. We have shut down the website in question. Oh wait, just kidding. We haven't, since the site in question is fully legal. Unlike certain other countries, such as the one you're in, we have sane copyright laws here. But we also have polar bears roaming the streets and attacking people...
...However, carrying out the law will be anything but simple, nor will it be the most efficient way to protect the environment. The 2007 court case in question gave the EPA the authority to regulate CO2, when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of 12 states, led by Massachusetts, that brought suit against the government to force it to regulate greenhouse gases.

In some cases, it will ask the question impractically, which I think is of value.I think we make practicality very important in America, and there is a celebration of people who only do things because they make money or because they...
...cursory examination of the Rome Statute reveals the ludicrous nature of this legislation. The treaty in question belied the fears of the act’s supporters; by operating on the principle of complementarity, the ICC will only investigate cases in which the state with jurisdiction over it is unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute. Yet on March 31, 2005, when the United Nations Security Council referred the situation in Darfur to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in Resolution 1593, the U.S. was left in the embarrassing position of having to abstain from a resolution calling...
