I don't think that most of the people working to go to the Moon or Mars have big mining dollar signs in their eyes. That's just onlookers speculating about potential benefits of Lunar bases and going to asteroids and Mars and whatever else. I think, for those doing actual work on these missions...

Him conceding that point is not the equivalent of him conceding that "Crime is primarily a problem in democrat-run cities and states.". Anyone who could possibly deny such an obvious truth is simply delusional. Their mind is broken. And that's assuming that their denial of it isn't an...

How does the first sentence have anything to do with the second? What's so stupid about wanting to explore the solar system? I mean, I agree that their whole worldview is flawed and the reasons they give for going are foolish but that doesn't mean that attempting to go to Mars is inherently a...

This is true of everyone, whether they are a king or not. As such, it is not relevant to the question being debated. That question being whether the king should enjoy immunity from legal procession.

We're just going in circles. I simply will not advocate for a system that places the king above the law. I do not care whether you can find some way to rationalize that away and advance some theory that places the king theoretically under the law. In practical terms, the proposed system places...

You see what you choose to see and have no wisdom whatsoever. You might as well be deaf, dumb, blind and stupid. In reality, you don't have any of those as an excuse. You're simply a fool.

You're delusional.

No. The court exists because of the law. If there is no court then there isn't any law. At best there is a moral code but as I've repeatedly stated we aren't talking about morality per se, we are talking about criminal justice. Saying that there is criminal justice without a court is like saying...

Where there is no court, there is no law. Okay, then it is both you and the proposed Constitution that is trying to have it both ways. An unenforceable law is no law at all. The fact that the king would answer to God is no different than any other criminal except that right now, the king gets...

If this is the case then what are we even talking about? What is the legal penalty if the king rapes someone? If you say anything other than that he is tried in court and executed upon conviction then don't talk to me about the king being under the law because he isn't. You simply don't get...

I don't understand how you find so many words to say in response to such a simple concept as not setting a man in a de-facto position above the law, which you admit is precisely what your proposed system would do. If the nation in question had a covenant relationship with the living God such as...

How is making it so that an evil king has legal carte blanche to do whatever he wants not an even shorter road to tyranny? The judiciary would not be able to remove the king by fiat or whim over a long weekend. The process for removing the king would be legally complex thing to do that would...

I haven't the time to respond to each point so I'll have to keep this generalized.... The point it seems you are missing is that judiciary is already under the law in the system that you are advocating. In other words, I am not placing the king under anything other than the law because the...

Yes it does prove it. It proves it for the same reason that Enyart's "Evolve" computer program back in the 90s proves the theory of evolution false. Not because it is mathematically "impossible" but because it is so wildly unlikely that it is practically impossible. Pluto's system did NOT arise...

Unresponsive, unsupported claims do not an argument make. (i.e. Saying it doesn't make it so.) They haven't done so because it cannot be done. Explosions do not create more order, they create far less. Pluto, flat out, was not ever part of the Earth - period. The second law of thermodynamics is...
