that it takes the Courts to reign in the insanity of the liberals that in some cases are so bold in trying to take away
the rights of US citizens.....and even more shameful that those citizens just go about their business and accept the tyranny...

A state judge today put a cork in City Hall's plans to ban Big Apple restaurants and other venues from selling large sugary drinks -- a bubble-bursting defeat for Mayor Bloomberg.
 
I was kind of hoping to go to New York and get my Big Gulp diet drink and then drink it in front of all the 16 0z sugar suckers. :shots:

Here's what the "right" needs to do on these thing, take a page from Clinton and "triangulate" the issue. I've been thinking about this for a while, we could get the churches involved, and I am almost certain we can find something in Leviticus about the abomination of large sugary drinks... so we go out there and say... Gawd said, thou shalt not partake of the Big Gulp! And we watch Liberal heads explode! That's all it would take, next week, we'd have every Liberal activist in the country, demanding that big sugary drinks be made available to everyone!
 
How can anyone drink a pint of sugary crap. No wonder you are so fat. Waddle waddle waddle. If it waddles like a yank its probably a duck!
 
I'd like to see the text of he ruling. I don't think the proper role of the Court's is to doubt the wisdom of banning products for consumption, which seems to be what this is all about. I mean, what's the principled reason for saying that a soda ban is invalid but a ban on, say, Four Loco or Everclear or raw milk is kosher? It seems to me that the question isn't whether a numicipality can implement this type of regulation, but whether it should.
 
I'm not sure Bloomberg's got the science behind him on this. I just finished reading a study showing that diet sodas are worse for you than regular sodas. But there are conflicting studies so who knows. I never could drink regular soda, I find it gross, so once I read a study several years ago showing that even 1 diet soda a day drastically increases risk of heart attack and stroke, I just drink water. Personally I find Bloomberg to be a jackass, but DH has a good point. It's being appealed so I'm sure that argument will be brought up.

Given that you've quoted me, do you care to elaborate? I don't know what the hell you're talking about. My post was about the police powers of state and local governments.
 
On newscasts of Bloomberg's defeat yesterday there was an explanation that the court merely said it was not in the powers of an arbitrary dept of city government to make laws like this and that it was the job of an entity such as city council or similar entity.

That makes sense. I haven't really followed the story 'ceptin what I read on Palin's Facebook page and Twitter account.
 
This judical activsm cannot be tolerated! Why do the courts continue to subvert the will of the people. Elected officials, elected by the people chose this and who are the Courts to deny the people there will.....

Ok, Sarcasm off...

I agree with the Courts on this one. The rule appears to be A and C.

The right to sugary drinks in restaurants larger than 16 ounces, yep, right there in the constitution.

If you weren't such a retard, you would've read the story, which explains that the move is more about the fact that the NYC Health Board overstepped its authority than the precious right to obesity. If the NYC legislature decided to pass a similar regulation, it'd have full right to.

What study did you read? There are all kinds of random "studies" on this subject. The fact is, you get fat because you put energy into your body and you body stores it. Energy is measured in calories. Sugary drinks have hundreds of calories per 16 oz, diet drinks have 0 of them. If diet soda has any health effects with regard to heart attack and stroke, it is likely due to caffeine. But I cannot trust anyone who says anything about this subject without presenting me with the scientific journal in which they found it in because there's so much bullshit wafting about here.

not necessarily to single out your particular statement as one to object to, I just have serious issue with both the left AND the rights way of thinking that leads them to believe that the fed, state, and local governments have some power, authority, or moral compass to use any police powers to regulate or prohibit people from doing something to their very own bodies. Do people not own their own bodies anymore? that's my reference to rights in my post, since I mostly hear liberals ranting about privacy rights with their own bodies but constantly seem to want gov to regulate the bodies of others.

It's apparently just in women.
 
I'm telling you righties, we're missing the boat on this one! I really think the "Gawd forbids partaking of the Big Gulp" is an awesome angle! Get some backwoods baptist preacher to start yelling and screaming about gluttony and how we need to all get behind efforts to ban these sinful drinks, and by 2016, the Liberals will have the "Right to be Obese" written into their fucking platform! They will throw Michelle under the bus, and move heaven and earth to do this.
