I say again, the Nevada Supreme Court was bought off by NBC in order to keep the voices of America off the national debates in Las Vegas.
This horse race is already fixed before anyone gets out of the starting gate...and count on it...all the horses have yet to start this race.

Conflicts of interest to the American political election process have yet silenced political speech in America.

It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man's genetic lineage -- the notion that a man's intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.

Get REAL, people!

MSNBC = owned by General Electric, a corporation that makes billions off America's wars.
You do the math.

oldlawdawg wrote on January 15, 2008 02:21 PM: Mr. Bill Johnson: You are mistaken. There is no "NBC/MSNBC" with an "FCC Chater." MSNBC is a cable broadcast outlet which is exempt from the Federal Communications Act and its so-called "equal time" requirement which, by the way, was long ago completely repudiated and erradicted by Congress and the FCC. There is no longer such a thing as an "equal time" requirement and, in fact, there never really was. That "requirement" was based upon assumptions derived from a letter from an FCC Chairman decades back, and not from the language of the FCC Act, which has never contained any such requirement.

By the way -- what nationally broadcasted presidential debates did you moderate? Why do you claim NBC or MSNBC are a bunch of "neo-cons" when they are part of the most liberal media on the planet? Why does this have to have anything to do with "neo-cons" or even 'neo-liberals' when we are discussing legal rights and the jurisdiction of the Nevada state courts to even decide such rights, let alone the legal basis upon those rights should be determined? Is anyone who disagrees with your political bent a "neo-con"?

oldlawdawg wrote on January 15, 2008 02:06 PM: Regardless of what some retired, unlected judge is "offended" by, Thompson has no jurisdiction to enter the injunction, and there was absolutely no legal basis for him doing so. The fact that he is "offended" by the withdrawal of MSNBC's invitation to Kucinich, extended before the field of candidates surrounding Kucinich was cleared to leave him standing alone, is not a substuitue for the law. Every judge accross the country to have considered Kucinich's arguments has refused to enjoin the debates. State courts simply lack the jurisdiction to do what Thompson just did, and the notion that MSNBC's invitation to Kucinich constitued a "contract" is absolutely absurd. Our Supreme Court will only embarass us further by sustaining the injunction and spawning a national furor over an issue that never should have been decided by the courts in the first place.
