pingI’m gonna sue BET and the WMBA.
This is a dog poop lawsuit, with no basis in reality. NASCAR already has a successful Drive To Diversity program. Fight it, counter sue (already done...claiming defamation). The plaintiff is simply looking for a settlement payday. Take a note from Trump, NASCAR: rarely, if ever, settle.
pingEverything Cox got was probably through a govt handout.
The EpiPen cost is a far more important topic than the NASCAR suit. The "other costs" include enormous salaries of CEO Heather Bresch, daughter of Dem WVa Senator Joe Manchin. Her mother was president of the National Association of State Boards of Education when a law was passed urging EpiPens into every public school in the USA. Many states have laws requiring them.
The life-saving EpiPen price went from about $100 per 2-pack in 2009 to about $600 per 2-pack this year. Bresch's salary rose even faster than the price of the EpiPEns, from 2.4 million in 2007 to 18.9 million last year.
Trump should latch onto this story as the numbers are simple and the special interest/Dem Senator connection is obvious. In 2014 the company moved its corporate address from Pennsylvania to the Netherlands.
Unless I missed something, the article doesn’t mention if this a state or federal lawsuit. So I will presume (ass-u-me?) that it is a federal lawsuit, corrections welcome.
If it is a federal lawsuit then the following major constitutional problem exists.
A major problem with new citizens, and I’ll include not only legal immigrants, but also the decendents of the freedmen too, is that new citizens, meaning new voters, and also illegal aliens who unlawfully vote, is the following. Such people are not required to prove knowledge about the fed’s constitutionally limited powers before becoming a voting citizen.
Consequently, corrupt candidates for federal office are able to trick these new voters into voting for them by promising them free things that these new voters don’t understand are unconstitutional — unfortunately, low-information, life-long citizens have the same problem.
Getting back to the NASCAR diversity lawsuit, the misguided people who are filing this diversity lawsuit in a jurisdiction that has no constitutional authority to address the issue, are unthinkingly helping to unconstitutonally expand the corrupt federal government’s powers by doing so imo.
From related threads ...
Note that the only race-based right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect deals with voting rights as evidenced by the 15th Amendment. But since the racing profession is clearly outside the scope of voting rights, the feds have no constitutional authority to stick their big noses in this discrimination / diversity issue.
The problem is that the corrupt feds have historically seized any opportunity to unconstitutionally expand their powers.
In fact, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson had warned patriots to be on their guard against the feds unconstitutionally expanding their power in subtle ways, this lawsuit a good example of this imo.
”I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” —James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution (1788-06-06)
”To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.” —Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson's Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791
”The system of the General Government is to seize all doubtful ground. We must join in the scramble, or get nothing. Where first occupancy is to give right, he who lies still loses all.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1797.
Finally, even if the states had expressly constitutionally protected against discrimination outside the scope of voting issues, note that the Supreme Court had clarified in United States v. Cruikshank that enumerated constitutional rights protect citizens only from actions of the state and federal governments, not from individual citizens.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs as evidenced by misguided discrimination lawsuits.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Wonder if Brainless will also seek damages for the looting of the NASCAR Hall of Fame last night?
