lost all credibility recently? Whenever you need some liberal activist judge to rule in your favor, that's where you go.

...and they still want even more money from California tax payers. Perhaps if they would quit the 40% increases in spending they wouldn't need to squeeze more blood from us turnips. |

Re: Hasn't the ninth circuit...
People talk about how they're the most overturned court, but if you take it as a percentage of cases, they're not the most overturned. They're simply overturned often because they handle more cases that the other districts. Not saying they're not insane kooks on that bench, but they're no more insane than any of the others. |

| even the luddites hate taxes
Dear Friends,
The concept of appellation from an order resulting from the use of ministerial powers is simply a normal course of events in protecting jurisdiction.
As much as I hate the thought of the states regulating VOIP, it is hard to see that the intention to file appeal is anything more than pro forma in this case. Too much case law on the side of the ministries, and the requirement is that something is both arbitrary and capricious. Hard to make that stick.
It is equally hard to see how, in spite of the legal theory, that the state would prevail, as no sane politician would create taxes, irrespective of their necessity. Whether or not the perception is even true, many folks feel that anything done on the net is tax-free, that the internet is a haven from the vultures.
My wife, a luddite in excelsis, hating the very thoughts of computers and even cell phones, wants to use VOIP.....
Cheap and untaxed.
Remember, when most teens today will be of voting age, few of the industry ideals of today will hold.
All good wishes,
Yazdzik

Re: Hasn't the ninth circuit...
Yes, but the Ninth Circuit leads in "summary reversals", where the Supremes just hand a case back without full treatment--sort of saying "Wrong, dummies, look at this again"--essentially where the error is so obvious it need not be explained.

Re: even the luddites hate taxes
OMG your the biggest idiot I have seen on these broads. You really think you talk above the "common" people, my guess is your a professor at some idiot uni, full of himself, dude your a moron. Kids today are not stupid, they voted Bush in, and the next generation will do the same. Industry is the peoples lifeblood. Freedom to choose is our inherited domain. We the people payed for it and by Gods will we will hold it. I wish upon you you only pain and suffering, the same you wish upon me and mine. |

| Will Government Ever Learn it needs to Shrink?
More Regulation of a something that is to be FREE PUBLIC DOMAIN...
I agree with the 9th Circuits decision and hope to the high heavens that somehow, someway the decision will be upheld in the interest of the small guy, the almighty Consumer...
When will enough of us TaxPayers finally get together, speak up and say, "Enough is Enough!"?
California does tax the bajeebers out of everything and that is why they should lose on this one. Just because technology is changing and the advent of new communication tools are being explored and utilized does not mean "WE" the people should go along with being bamboozled into paying for something that should remain unregulated and open to free use and expression as the Internet is and was always intended to be.
Stop PIRACY by the very Government that is to SERVE the PEOPLE.
Stand up and be counted, Speak out AGAINST this terrible use of public resource when there are so many other important things to keep their eyes on like Balancing a Budget, Cutting Spending and Shrinking the Bureaucracy!
Stop taxing the LIFE out of the TaxPayer. Let VoIP be. |

| Ninth Circuit Court of Fools
The continued idiocy of the the Ninth Circuit Court, coupled with the guessing game about the retirement of the Justices on the USSC are very good arguments for imposing a 25 year term limit for Federal Judicial appointees. No one should guaranteed a lifetime appointment to any job, especially ones as important as the US Circuit Courts and the USSC.
