Footballguy Group: Members Joined: 14-April 03 Member No.: 539	I just set the deadline to five minutes before each game (not before the first game of the week as before), so you can change your picks untill the last minutes. I don´t have a problem with spread or straight picking, but noticed that nearly all of the people who have joined, have already made their picks (if these dashes in the group pick section behind the name indicate that). Don´t know if it were correct to change the setup now? Best thing might be that everybody who cares eather way says so until September 7th noon ET, majority decides. Everybody should check his picks afterwards, in case spread has been voted.

5.56 solves all Group: Members Joined: 14-April 03 From: Communist State of Massachusetts Member No.: 1053	-------------------- QUOTE (United States Supreme Court in the case of Heller vs District of Columbia @ July, 2008) “We know of no other enumerated constitutional right whose core protection has been subjected to a freestanding ‘interest-balancing’ approach. The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of government - even the Third Branch of Government - the power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon. A constitutional guarantee subject to future judges’ assessments of its usefulness is no constitutional guarantee at all. Constitutional rights are enshrined with the scope they were understood to have when the people adopted them, whether or not future legislatures or (yes) even future judges think that scope too broad. We would not apply an “interest-balancing” approach to the prohibition of a peaceful neo-Nazi march through Skokie. See National Socialist Party of America v. Skokie, 432 U. S. 43 (1977) (per curiam). The First Amendment contains the freedom-of-speech guarantee that the people ratified, which included exceptions for obscenity, libel, and disclosure of state secrets, but not for the expression of extremely unpopular and wrong-headed views. The Second Amendment is no different. Like the First, it is the very product of an interest-balancing by the people-which JUSTICE BREYER would now conduct for them anew. And whatever else it leaves to future evaluation, it surely elevates above all other interests the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to use arms in defense of hearth and home.....
