The Fourth Amendment doesn't include any language about emails - are a person's emails fair game for the government?
Most likely. The Government has been doing a bang-up job of ignoring the rules, since the days of Echelon and Carnivore.

What should be regarded as private, from your bank withdrawals to deposits, and virtually anything you do is not.

Here you have an incumbent with 39.7% approval, and under normal circumstances headed for a decisive loss in every swing state.  For the republicans to mangle this opportunity is quite impressive in its own right.

And the PA Veterinary Medicine Practice Act defines what falls under the term "veterinary medicine" and even an idiot like me can see how use of an ultrasound device to determine whether a cow is pregnant or not falls easily within that definition - much more easily than emails fall under the Fourth Amendment.

PA Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, 1974 Act 326, section 3(9):
"Physical condition" would quite easily include pregnancy, and the determination of whether a cow is pregnant would fall under the rubric of diagnosis or prognosis, and use of an ultrasound as "application of any apparatus".



quite easily?? Really??

Bottom line: They want more money and for you to have less.

Yes, there is a health crisis associated with climate change, but it's mental health that seems to be critical.


Had Zambia had better sanitation or water treatment there is a chance that the Cholera epidemic could have been avoided. It takes energy to build the infrastructure to have that, and reliable energy to run it.
Unicorn farts may produce showers of skittles, but they have really low BTU output.
