Did you catch she and her husband weren't wearing masks either? Neither was Thomas. Up yours Dems.

No, they're rights. Natural rights. God given rights. And God be Damned if we don't assert them. Keep poking the bear.

On the contrary.
There is a list of things the government isn't allowed to infringe on (not that it stops them).
Absolutely none of it requires them to *provide* me with anything.
If you think there is a "right" to government provided healthcare, how about food ? Water ? Shelter ?
When it comes to the necessities of life, healthcare is pretty far down the list actually. People happily go decades without "healthcare". Water, food, and shelter, not so much.

Well, they will go after anyone they thinks doesn't have the resources or gumption to fight them with a vengeance I am sure.
They can safely run it right up to the 2nd circuit and then drop it just like they did the recent NYC case.
They will count on most people not having the resources to take it to SCOTUS.
When your enemy is funded by your own tax dollars, it is very hard to beat them in a war of attrition.
The process *is* the punishment.
How many people would restore their neutered ARs if they were guaranteed that outcome ?
"well, you'll get arrested, and jailed, and spent a year or so and a couple hundred $K fighting it, but then they'll drop the case for sure and you can go free"
"Yay, you won".

Not funny, just a simple target audience decision. The NASCAR channel doesn't carry basketball. How many people that watch CNN do you think want to watch the ACB ceremony?
Should Ithat FOX news doesn't carry a Bernie Sanders rally? Nope, it's just not their target audience.
I couldn't disagree more vehemently. When a historic event is happening, a SCOTUS Justice being confirmed and taking her oath, one of only 115 (including Justice Barrett) Supreme Court Justices ever to sit on the highest Court in our Democratic Republic, it is absolutely airtime worthy.
To compare this historic event to a NASCAR vs NBA sporting competition is ludicrous. Something I'd expect from a liberal, progressive, Democrat or whatever you identify as.
These networks televise a plethora of non newsworthy events all the time. The oath taking of a SCOTUS Justice is not something to be skipped over, just like the crybabies in the Senate who protested with their absence, or Nancy Pelosi who tears up a SOTU Address on national TV. Nothing but whiners and privileged crybabies.

The people of China and North Korea have a right to free speech and a RKBA too.
Just because you live under a criminal regime that infringes those rights doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
The mugger's power to take your wallet doesn't mean he has the right.

No. We all have natural rights. No government, empowered by people, can infringe on those rights.
The U.S. constitution is based on negative rights - those inherent rights upon which the government is forbidden to tread.
Liberal Progressives want the constitution amended to contain positive rights - obligations that the government must provide. Positive rights always entail burdens on others.
Amen Brother. God Bless America.

I don't think there's any chance she wins. She's got a tough re-election going.
We seriously need McSally to fight off Kelly successfully.

Bernie Sanders rally? Lol. Bernie isn't running until at least 2024 so I would give Fox a pass. I thought only Biden couldn't keep track of who was running.Should I
Just yearn for the days (not too long ago) when character and integrity mattered. Not just in public elections but in everything. Those are the days I miss. Long gone. Hopefully not forgotten.

Mr Gabby Giffords Fruit Loops Kelly has all that out of State Bloomberg money which makes it tough.
I'm not talking down Gabby Giffords that should never have happened. But seriously there has to be some "common sense" (as all our Dem pols seem to talk about) when a member of congress is incapacitated through no fault of her own. Seriously. WTF? Not in anyway placing blame on her for what happened and it shouldn't have. But given that it did, there's no way in hell she should have been allowed to continue as a people's representative. Seriously. Am I wrong?
Carrying the event is up to them and their network.
You're reading too much into it and trying to get my personal feelings out of it or something. I'm not saying not NBA game is more important or whatever, I'm just commenting that businesses make decisions based on their targeted demographics and was using the example as an illustration. Cable channels want to sell ads and bring in a certain audience (which allows them to sell ads). In this case CNN had determined that it's in their best interest to show other content besides the ACB confirmation.
Funny about the crybaby thing though, only person whining here isn't them....

It is certainly their right to carry it or not.
But not carrying it just demonstrates their hypocrisy in calling themselves a "news" organization.
If they're not allowed to, but do it anyways, are they really not allowed to?
That's why I say your rights are an illusion. If they do things that they "can't do", then they can do it which makes "can't do that" moot.
You have a right to none of the above, inclusive of food. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to get there, but as far as a right goes, not at all.
If it was Garland there is no doubt whatsoever it would have been carried on every network out there. Historic. Just not to the Lib media. Not the narrative Old Money wants to display. Call a spade a spade. Be honest.
If the mugger ends up with your wallet, and you lose it, functionally speaking, does matter who is right?

Nobody is arguing that we don't have a major problem with access to health care in this country (although it is far better now than it has ever been).
Nobody is saying we don’t need to improve the situation.
But the people who are claiming it is a "right" and that people are "owed" are just plain wrong. Not only are they wrong about the nature of the problem, their ideas for a solution are unworkable, even in theory.

Morally and ethically ?
Absolutely it matters.
Otherwise there is no such thing as an atrocity.
If the mugger ends up with your wallet and he loses his life, functionally speaking, does it matter? Who is right?
Technically speaking everything in the past is Historic, 1 minute ago is now history.
Who knows for 100% sure if they would have carried it. That being said, I'd tend to agree with you though, I think most networks would have carried it.
Generally speaking I'd agree with this.
They all would have. Thank you.
I agree with you that morally you have a right to your wallet. However things get stolen every day. Stolen goods don't automatically return themselves to their morally rightful owners though.
Immoral things happen all the time. Rape. Murder. Theft. Etc.
Nobody has a moral right to commit any of the above, yet there are plenty of victims, and being morally right didn't stop it from happening. Ideal vs. Function. I believe the only rights that you REALLY have are the ones you assert and bring into reality, anything less is just wishful desires.
Hmm, something like Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness? Pretty sure that's what most of us NYGF deplorables are after.
