Anybody else have a problem with the sentencing of someone to a year in prison without a jury trial, as well as prison time for misdemeanors in general?

I'm also sure they will try the angle of "how can you accept a SCOTUS nomination from a POTUS who has obviously committed so many crimes and thumbs his nose at the Constitution practically every day?"

Frankly it is none of the Congress's business.

Just goes to show the risks involved when organization move so much of their information infrastructure into "the cloud". On premise server solutions are almost always better.

Yes, I did. It was a relatively short drive and the event only lasted an hour or so.

Neither. I am neutral in regards to such pursuits.

Yes. It just takes planning, hard work, and (fake) testing, testing, testing to maintain the security theater. Just ask the TSA, that unconstitutional agency has been doing it, minus the testing of course, for almost 20 years now.

Possibly, yes.

Compulsory vs. Free Education https://mises.org/wire/compulsory-vs-free-education In the 1940s, the English writer and critic Herbert Read emphasized the diversity of man by pointing out the "psychological" objection to a compulsory "national system of education": The great philosopher Herbert Spencer pointed out the despotism inherent in compulsory education: Mrs. Isabel Paterson brilliantly sums up the tyranny of compulsory state education, and the superiority of free choice of private education: Here we must add that, in the current system, the State has found a way in the United States, to induce the private schools to teach State supremacy without outlawing private schools, as in some other countries. By enforcing certification for minimum standards, the State effectively, though subtly, dominates the private schools and makes them, in effect, extensions of the public school system. Only removal of compulsory schooling and enforced standards will free the private schools and permit them to function in independence. Mrs. Paterson deals succinctly with the problem of compulsory education and literacy: And Mrs. Paterson answers teachers and educators who would tend to reply in epithets to her criticism: One of the best ways of regarding the problem of compulsory education is to think of the almost exact analogy in the area of that other great educational medium—the newspaper. What would we think of a proposal for the government, Federal or State, to use the taxpayers' money to set up a nationwide chain of public newspapers, and compel all people, or all children, to read them? What would we think furthermore of the government's outlawing all other newspapers, or indeed outlawing all newspapers that do not come up to the "standards" of what a government commission thinks children ought to read? Such a proposal would be generally regarded with horror in America, and yet this is exactly the sort of regime that the government has established in the sphere of scholastic instruction. Compulsory public presses would be considered an invasion of the basic freedom of the press; yet is not scholastic freedom at least as important as press freedom? Aren't both vital media for public information and education, for free inquiry and the search for truth? It is clear that the suppression of free instruction should be regarded with even greater horror than suppression of free press, since here the unformed minds of children are involved.
