You are the liberal.
Military and civilians use the same "serial" number. It's called your social security number!
"Remind me: who won the Cold War again?"
The American faction of the world Soviet.
"Civilians do not have serial numbers."
Yes we do, it's called a Social Security Number. You belong to the state citizen.
A captured soldier is allowed to give his name, rank, and serial number to a capturing enemy.
He's also obligated to attempt to escape and/or kill the capturing enemy if the opportunity presents itself
You sure you want to extend that analogy that far?
The old standard used to be the higher "probable cause"
Why, the Soviets won the Cold War--they're alive and well and living in the Democrat party.
The citations are worth examining.
The bad news is that there is no limit to what Bill would allow. The good news is that Bill is no longer President.
Remember that the next time a child molester is running loose in YOUR neighbor hood...
Dont ask the cop to bother that man sitting in front of school staring at little kids for a couple hours....he's just waiting for the Bus that's not comming...
