[T]he language of the Clause ... protects individuals from being twice put in jeopardy 'for the same offence,' not for the same conduct or actions," Grady v. Corbin, 495 U.S. 508, 529 (1990), as Justice Scalia wrote in a soon-vindicated dissent, see United States v. Dixon, 509 U.S. 688 (1993) (overruling Grady). ... As originally understood, then, an "offence" is defined by a law, and each law is defined by a sovereign. So where there are two sovereigns, there are two laws, and two "offences." See Grady, 495 U.S., at 529 (Scalia, J., dissenting) ("If the same conduct violates two (or more) laws then each offense may be separately prosecuted")
wut: "The Do No Harm Act"
Pushing for the government to stop protecting those who wield their faiths to hurt others, a civil rights lawyer urged House lawmakers Tuesday to curb abuse of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act by the Trump administration.
At a hearing this morning of the House Committee on Education and Labor, Laser was one of three lawyers and a Presbyterian minister who pushed for lawmakers to amend [?!] the RFRA with passage of H.R. 1450, otherwise known as the Do No Harm Act.
Though the agency receives $600,000 in federal funding, it accepts adoption applications only from evangelical protestants, Laser said.
"Religious liberty could begin [?!] to subvert the right of other people," said [Representative Suzanne] Bonamici, a Michigan Democrat.
The Do No Harm Act would change nothing [?] about the 1993 law specifically, only amending [?] it to specify that it cannot be used to discriminate.
Alrighty then. Fortunately for all of them I ain't Solomon of the World. If I were, every conscientious objector would be free to express their religious beliefs WITHOUT any monies from US fed gov.
archived what did I say "convoluted 18th Century language" A surprising amount of that cumulative work product is defective for the simple reason one provision ahhh chained to another contradicts itself. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
