Personally, I think the no-fly list should be ruled unconstitutional due to it stripping people of rights not based on any real crime they have done, but on something some faceless bureaucrat somewhere thinks somebody might end up doing with little to no actual evidence to back up such an accusation."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."
GK Chesterton; Orthodoxy

I understand that that’s his idea.”
“My question is, can you name another constitutional right we have that is chilled until you find out it’s chilled, and then you have to petition the government to get it back? Is that true with the First Amendment?”Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
