lol.....there were some zingers on there.
I know - I posted some of them. The ones that made sense and could not be refuted or where the liberal did not have the last word were deleted by Avakian or someone that works for him.
I've posted a few more. I have a feeling they will be gone by the end of the day, also.
I don’t have any problem with that. We are required, however, by FR policy to use actual titles.
There.
The 8th Amendment (usually referenced by attorney’s for DP convicts regarding cruel and unusual punishment) also refers to the Gov’t not being allowed to impose excessive fines.
I’d sue based on 8th amendment and infringing on 1st amendment rights.
“Excessive bail shall not be required, NOR EXCESSIVE FINES IMPOSED, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
I suspect the person who gets to decide whether the fine was excessive is the same administrative law judge who levied it in the first place.
It is certainly EXCESSIVE, and I think it's cruel and unusual. No way that denying a cake amounts to a $135,000 fine. It's also retributive, so that makes it qualify for ‘cruel and unusual’, doesn't it?
Hard to believe that since Jesus talked about it in the gospels.
