And if a Newsman like Tucker Carlson puts forth the Exculpatory evidence that may Clear the defendant in the case and show that the gov't withheld that evidence ILLEGALLY from the lawyer for the Q-Anon Shaman, then according to YOU he's an ass kisser is he?

You made that claim.  Sounds like something right out of Mao's Communist China or Stalin's Soviet Union.

You weren't personal friends with Laventy Beria were you?  Did he teach you this crap?  

So then I guess if a defense lawyer goes into court and demands to be shown the evidence that the gov't has on both sides, evidence to convict and evidence to exonerate, that lawyer is an ass-kissing fascist is he?

I say that because the Q-Anon Shaman's lawyer was on FoxNews yesterday and he said that the gov't withheld the evidence to exonerate him, and that seems to be precisely what the gov't prosecutors did.

It has been said that a grand jury may indict a ham sandwich.

In fact his lawyer confirmed flat out that the Q-Anon guy WAS HELD IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.

The lawyer's words were "We BEGGED the gov't to let him out of solitary confinement but they would not"

He showed the gov't that the guy had been diagnosed 15 years ago with a mental illness and yet they did not care.

The cops that day led the guy around AFTER they claimed he broke through barriers and attacked cops.

One of the charges he was indicted for was having a weapon.

How could that be?  If he had a weapon and attacked cops why in the world did the cops later escort him around the Capitol Bldg?  

What do you think that "weapon" was?   It was the American Flag on a flagpole.  That's what the weapon was that they charged him with.  

You truly are a sad individual.  Your TDS is probably oozing out of your ears at this point.

It makes a lot of claims, that he was yelling "Its your Capitol, take it back".  It said he also attacked the cops. If the Proud Boy guy assaulted cops I hope he goes to jail or went to jail.  

I have no idea who this guy is or what he did.  Do you?

Because I believe in Due Process, unlike you, then it means Billy the Proud Boy is my buddy?

Is this now how you're going to operate putting up straw men like your BS above, to knock down because you can't support some of your ignorant positions?

I guess if that's all you've got though, you're free to go down that pathetic road making up more lies that this Proud Boy guy is my buddy.

I don't know anything about the proud boys but if smearing me lying and saying "Billy is your Proud Boy Buddy", then revert to that pathetic tactic.  No wonder you were never a trial attorney.  

You know something counselor, you are a total clown.  I guess in your world and your idea of Constitutional protections afforded by the Bill of Rights says GUILTY as charged until proven innocent.  

You and these jokers on the left.

Its purpose is to make it difficult or even impossible for science teachers to teach Evolutionary Theory in public schools in Montana by forcing the teaching of only "facts".   The teaching of Theory is clearly disallowed.

The opponents of the teaching of Evolutionary Theory often make the fundamental mistake of mistaking "a theory" - a guess or hypothesis in informal or non-scientific speech - for "theory".  "Oh, Evolution is just a theory, not a fact" they say.  But  'theory' in this context actually involves a body of connected knowledge and accepted explanations of a phenomenon or process, based upon a gigantic body of factual observations and subject to change if evidence warrants.   

Plate Tectonic Theory, Gravitational Theory, Quantum Mechanical Theory,  Genetic Theory, Evolutionary Theory, Atomic Theory and so on are each gigantic bodies of individual facts and observations which, taken together, robustly explain the particular phenomenon and lead to accurate and repeatable predictions in those fields.  

The opponents of the teaching of Evolution fall all over themselves to try to appear 'scientific' in their approach.  What they should do is be honest and just say the following:  "Our religion clearly states that  God created life  , not that life evolved from common ancestors and simpler forms.  We insist that our religious view be forced upon everyone."  But they are never this honest.  And so we get bills like the one we are talking about here.

I always laugh when people say evolution is just a theory meaning it's not proven. The truth is the idea of evolution is an accepted scientific fact. And, like it or not, humans, too, are a product of evolution and natural selection.

Regardless, there is a robust anti-science trend in the Republican party, and I sometimes find it amusing. Surely we all still remember the Republican attacks against the science of the COVID pandemic. Anti-evolution stances may or may not still be a political issue the GOP can exploit, but they still have plenty of anti-science avenues to tap into, such as climate change denial.
