Skip to comments.Americans Are Worrying About the Constitution Again
Posted on 04/02/2012 3:59:13 AM PDT by Kaslin
"I don't worry about the Constitution," said Rep. Phil Hare, Democrat of Illinois, at a town hall meeting where voters questioned his support of the legislation that became Obamacare. You can find the clip on Youtube, where it has 462,084 hits.
That was before the 2010 election, in which Hare, running for a third term in a district designed by Democrats to elect a Democrat, was defeated 53 to 43 percent by Bobby Schilling, proprietor of a pizza parlor in East Moline.
A lot of politicians are worrying about the Constitution these days. Liberal commentators were shocked this past week when in three days of oral argument in the lawsuits challenging Obamacare, five Supreme Court justices -- a majority -- asked questions strongly suggesting they think the legislation is unconstitutional.
And so the Constitution -- and the limits it places on Congress' powers -- is once again part of our politics. And will continue to be, whichever way the Court rules.
For 70 years, since the court in 1942 said the government could limit the amount of wheat farmer Roscoe Filburn could grow on his own land to feed his own animals, it has been generally assumed that the federal government's power to regulate the economy had no limits.
That assumption survived in liberal precincts even though the court in 1995 overturned a law banning guns in schools and in 2000 ruled unconstitutional parts of the Violence Against Women Act.
But the arguments, developed by Georgetown Law professor Randy Barnett and others, that it is beyond the powers conferred by the Constitution for Congress to mandate the purchase of a commercial product -- health insurance in Obamacare -- were certainly taken seriously by a majority of Supreme Court justices last week.
And the government's lawyers were unable to answer the questions of both liberal and conservative justices: If Congress can do this, what can't it do?
That question is likely to linger even if the court upholds Obamacare.
For the justices are not the only federal officials who take an oath to uphold the Constitution. So do the president and vice president, Cabinet members and other appointees, and every member of Congress. Phil Hare may not have been worried about the Constitution, but his constituents evidently thought he should be.
That means that every federal official has an obligation to act in line with the Constitution as he or she understands it. And that doesn't necessarily mean obeying Supreme Court decisions.
Many constitutional issues never come before the Supreme Court, which only rules on lawsuits. The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel issues rulings based on the Constitution, which are generally regarded as binding precedents by administrations of different parties, even though cases never go to court.
Presidents of different parties regularly issue signing statements, saying that they will not carry out provisions of laws they sign that they regard as unconstitutional. Barack Obama decried signing statements when he was campaigning, but as president he has issued them himself.
Members of Congress may reasonably regard themselves as bound to vote against measures they conscientiously believe unconstitutional. Barry Goldwater did this when he voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, even though he had integrated his own business many years before, on constitutional grounds.
Goldwater's constitutional argument, predictably, wasn't accepted by the Supreme Court. And his vote gave the Republican Party an unfair reputation for being anti-civil rights. But I think he was entitled to think his oath required him to vote that way.
Clearly the two parties are divided on the constitutionality of the Obamacare mandate. Polls have shown large majorities of voters think the provision is unconstitutional, though one can wonder whether many have given the matter much thought.
But they're certainly giving it more thought after this week and will likely give it more when the decision comes down.
Voters can reasonably ask candidates for Congress their views on this and other constitutional issues and call on them to vote against measures they consider beyond Congress' constitutional powers.
If the Court overturns Obamacare, Obama may be tempted to attack the court. He should beware. In 1937, Franklin Roosevelt, a few months after landslide re-election, proposed to pack the Supreme Court with new appointees.
Gallup polls showed majorities opposed, and in the next election, proponents of FDR's New Deal lost their congressional majorities. Lesson: Most American voters worry about the Constitution.
> Most American voters worry about the Constitution.
That was then.
This is now.
I venture that a majority of Americans either don't know or don't care about the Constitution.
The constitution, applied as written, would not only piss off liberals, but would piss off a majority of the so called conservatives. Sacred cows would be gored.
The only way back is to enforce original intent. The first step would be to repeal the 17th amendment.
Not only is Obamacare unconstitutional, it is a gateway to the diminution of all other freedosm we have in the Bill of Rights.
For example, once Obama care gets going they can charge exhorbitant extra risk premiums say, if you have firearms in your house, because they are a "health risk." Private Insurance is not involved in fascist social engineering. Any ability of government to do that should be curtailed and destroyed.
"I venture that a majority of Americans either dont know or dont care about the Constitution."
It is only true of liberals. Everyone knows that they hate the Constitution and that that most of them don't even know the Constitution.
Probably because many of American's are new American's and don't understand the Constitution. Look at the things happening in this country as pieces of a larger puzzle...put them together and you should make out that we're being destroyed from within. Liberal/progressives want to destroy the Constitution and turn us into a socialist country, Hispanics want to turn USA into Mexico Two, homosexuals want us to accept their lifestyles as normal to under-mind our moral foundation, and radical Muslims want to change, no demand we change our religion to theirs. Let all that happen and what's left?
We're doomed.
Ok, agreed, then the first step in accomplishing that must be to get conservative majorities in 3/4 of the state legislatures, correct?
"Let all that happen and what's left?
...that is what it was put there for.
The liberal attack on the court is already under way. It has become the theme to warn that if obamacare is struck down, the activists who invented the corporate person and who selected George Bush president will be taking away our right to health care.
Who cares about the constitution when the benevolent Feds just want to send "boatloads of money" to the states? /kagan
His "Restoring the Lost Constitution" is superb and should be on every Freeper's bookshelf.
For the Founder's meaning of Necessary and Proper
The vast majority of Americans believe that anything congress passes and the president signs must be okay.
The vast majority of Americans believe we live in a democracy and anything the majority wants is okay
The vast majority of Americans don't like to think about this stuff because it's so hard.
Democrats don't worry about the Constitution it's why they all voted for Obamacare.
Our system of government was designed to keep all politics local..... your vote for your state representative mattered, because this was the person that would send a senator to washington to represent your state's interests.....the number of votes needed to appoint a senator varies from state to state... at the time of ratification some states used simple majority, others did not. What people fail to realize is that the house of representatives is the peoples house, and the senate was meant to be the states house. The senate is now the political parties house, kinda like the old soviet union.
"I venture that a majority of Americans either dont know or dont care about the Constitution."
The 2010 elections suggest otherwise.
What you said.
All I was saying was, in order for the 17th to be repealed, 3/4 of state legislatures would have to be in conservative constitutionalist hands to ratify, because liberals, knowing exactly what you stated, would vote against repeal.
>>That means that every federal official has an obligation to act in line with the Constitution as he or she understands it. And that doesn't necessarily mean obeying Supreme Court decisions. <<
It is NOT open to individual interpretation. It is what it is and the Supreme Court was set up to be the final arbiter. If we start messing around with individual interpretation and selective acceptance, be very careful. Not only is the Constitution shredded, but also the rule of law. And that leads to anarchy.
That the Supremes have not made bad decisions (Dred Scott, Roe v. Wade, Kelo, etc.) is a fact. Disobeying those bad decisions is a moral obligation. DeathCare fits the bill since abortion is included.
ahhh.. NOW i get what you were saying... need more coffee.. yep, in order for this country to get back on track, all politics have to revert back to local control... find, support and elect strict constitutional people to your state legislature.. (beware of those that say they are conservative, after all GWB said he was a conservative and look at the damage he did over 8 years)..
" and the Supreme Court was set up to be the final arbiter "
Excuse me??
Article III
Section 1.
The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
Section 2.
The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;—to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;—to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;—to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;—to controversies between two or more states;—between a state and citizens of another state;—between citizens of different states;—between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects.
In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any state, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.
Section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
Bump for later
> The 2010 elections suggest otherwise.
I hope you're right. But we still didn't win the Senate. Reid is still there. McCain is still there. In fact, most senators have no Constitutional compass whatsoever.
And 0bama's poll numbers are still high enough to pull off a win this Fall.
That a Kenyan openly Marxist, pro-jihadi racist should even be seriously considered for President of the United States, let alone be elected, is pretty strong evidence that a majority is not really more than superficially aware of the Constitution.
Exactly right. They'll couch it in reasonable sounding terms. "Hey, we're not taking away your 2nd Amendment right - you can still own a firearm." But it is going to cost you so much that for all practical purposes they'll be disarming the nation. You want to drive that SUV or pickup, yes you have that freedom, but there is an excise/luxury tax on that. Use those old non-green appliances? ditto. Put in that pretty landscaping? Extra water fee. Why are you buying all these unhealthy foods? Extra fee/rate for lack of veggies. Why have you missed most of your "appointments" at the local health collective? Fines. Accessing these internet sites that are on the unapproved list I see? There's a "freedom fee" for that....
They will freely admit what they are doing. They won't exactly call it Marxist/socialist/fascist control but that is what it will be. They'll simply call it "encouraging" modification of behaviors for our own good. To "go green" or help improve all our lives/health/etc. Who could be against that? They're trying to help us, right? Only thing is, their kind of help flies in the face of basic freedom and liberty.
Think it sounds far-fetched? Ha! It is coming if hussein gets a second term, or anyone else like him ever gets into office. The one thing he has shown his fellow Marxist/socialists/fascists is that you can get away with an amazing amount of {expletive} as long as you have a compliant, cooperating, co-conspirator in the MSM. The next fascist, if there ever is another one like the won, will move even further, even faster. That is why we have to stop them now, and never let them back into power like this again.
> Not as many as worry about Dancing With the Stars, the NFL
> Draft, or the antics of the Kardashians.
You are 100% correct, of course.
Bread and circuses for the hoi poloi.
And we can argue Marbury v. Madison until the cows come home. Bottom line is they have expanded "original jurisdiction" to be final arbiter. Finally, since there is no court to hear an appeal from a Supreme Court decision, it is by default the final arbiter.
Thanks for the link to Barnett's book. I didn't know he had written that. It's now on my Amazon "Wish List."
A very good reason to start promoting the courses being offered for free by Hillsdale College. They do ask for a donation, but it is not tantamount to taking the course. You can order a book, rather large and worth the $35 which is a primer on the US Constitution. Money well spent. I think most parents whose children attend public HS should enroll their HS students in such a class. For one, it seems that it is not being taught any longer in the country's HSs, unless to home-schooled children, so it might be a start to getting a better understanding of the limits of government, Congress per se, and the president. It's a real shame that we have come to this place, but it has been deliberately done. The left doesn't want an informed public. They want to feed them the sound-bites they want them to believe in. Period!
There is no need to live under judicial tyranny.
Newt makes a very clear argument here.
Here is another scholarly two page pdf from Robert Welch University on how to curb the courts.
You are welcome. Barnett is making intellectual waves across law school academia. His major contribution is how courts can implement as practical matters, the necessary and proper clause and the Ninth Amendment.
Actually, I'd be willing to have a lot of my sacred cows gored, just jam the Federales back within their Constitutional limits...
say HEY.... mister RAY.... what be happinin'...TODAY??
now that the poetic part is over, your statement proves to me that you are no longer a conservative.... welcome to the dark side young jedi... you are now a small l libertarian.... come over to the dark side and complete your training... :)
The Constitution was written in plain language so that We The People could understand it. For example, read the Fourth Amendment and tell me how the courts could allow the TSA or no-knock SWAT raids.
Violations of the Constitution are for citizens to decide, not the Sleeping Nine. If we don't like a decision, it is incumbent upon us to throw the offenders out in the next election and send in someone ready to fix it.
As for the sad state of Constitutional understanding these days ... what do you expect when Bill Ayers is the grand poobah of public education? The classroom leftists don't want our kids to know about the Constitution, so they just don't bother teaching it. Or they indoctrinate the kids with how the Constitution was written by rich white men who owned slaves, so it must be rooted in evil.
I just hope we still have time to fix things without having to burn it all down and start over.
I remember my disappointment at President GHW Bush when he signed "campaign finance reform" saying he didn't think it was Constitutional - but that was for the SCOTUS to decide.
No bonehead - we elect a President with a particular viewpoint in order that he NOT sign legislation which he thinks is unconstitutional.
That type of thinking is better suited to banana republics - where differences of political opinion are subject to criminal liability.
Our Constitution has no such provision, and we are a stronger Republic for it.
Mass arrests of political opponents is not the American way.
My comment was not to say they should be arrested and I don't desire us to be a banana republic however, there should be a penalty for violating the oath of office; especially for violating our governing charter.
If a legislator votes for a law that the SCOTUS strikes down as Unconstitutional - the people who elect that legislator should take a long hard look at his philosophy of governance and see if it is compatible with their own views before voting to reelect.
It is not a case that the legislator KNOWINGLY violated their oath. It is up to the SCOTUS to rule on the LAW - not the legislators who passed the law. A 5-4 decision by the SCOTUS should not engender criminal liability for those whose view agreed with only four of the nine SCOTUS judges.
Should a 5-4 decision by the SCOTUS mean criminal liability for the four Justices who agreed with a law that according to the other five was violating our governing charter?
Should there only be penalties for legislators who voted for a law that all NINE SCOTUS judges ruled was unconstitutional? Eight or Seven out of Nine? Six out of nine? Five out of nine?
Should questions over the Constitutionality of a law devolve into questions of who gets penalized and to what degree - or is it OK for the SCOTUS to rule on the law - not the legislature?
I agree with you completely.
Oh, Obama and his liberal fascist will be stopped.Whether by the ballot box or otherwise. It may cost the people more than they are NOW willing to give, but when their freedoms are so clearly lost, somehow the nation will rise, and it will not be pretty, it will be messy, but we will indeed rid ourselves of them.
Romney is an Obama enabler. He doesn't seem to know that Obama is not a democrat, Obama is a nationalsit socialist, ie. fasist radical whose days in power are numbered. We need someone who has the hutzpa to put it to Obama, expose him, and take him to the cleaners. Romney is not that man.
Someone like Alan West could do it, or Sarah Palin. The GOP establishment has failed America yet again, in its time of direst need.

The problem is the judicial activism that, in so many cases, imagined up invisible text in the Constitution. When the document failed to provide the rights the government sought for itself, and it was impossible or arduous to try to change the document by the manner prescribed, they just pretended to see the text where it was missing.
The only way back is to enforce original intent. The first step would be to repeal the 17th amendment.
As do I. Frankly, I was ready to support his impeachment for that, not for the reasons the insane leftists had, but because he knowingly signed legislation he thought was unconstitutional.
Impeachment should not be for disagreements over policy or what is Constitutional or the proper rationale of a President when determining if he should sign legislation.
If he opined that he thought it was Constitutional then it wouldn't have been an impeachable offense? How about if he had just kept his mouth shut on the Constitutionality?
That being said I would hesitate to vote for any candidate who thought he should just go ahead and sign legislation that in HIS OPINION exceeds the powers given under the Constitution - because it is the role of the SCOTUS to make that determination.
WRONG - (but not an impeachable offense) - the Constitutionality of a law should be considered FIRST, LAST, and ALWAYS by EVERYONE involved.
I see your point. Yeah, impeachment is probably too strong in that case, but I was more upset with him over that than anything else he did during his time in office, as I considered that action a violation of his oath of office to defend the Constitution(of course the current occupant violates it continually).
I agree! You take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution - you have no business signing on to legislation you think violates the Constitution.
Deference to the SCOTUS as the FINAL determiner of Constitutionality doesn't mean that the issue shouldn't be addressed by Congress when it drafts and votes on the legislation - and by the President when he decides to sign it or not.
I am all for deference to the SCOTUS - but that doesn't mean being 'agnostic' as to the Constitutionality of legislation while it is being passed.
Don't think I'm a libertarian; I went through that phase, before I got married, where Ayn Rand was queen and I would be selfish, etc. Then I got married and understood just how crazy Rand was...
Nowadays, just like my time allocation, my political goals are prioritized. I'd LIKE to inflict my values on others, but I'd settle for taking away the tools that allow other to inflict their values on me. That way I have still have an option to set an example or to vote with my feet and find a community that I can enjoy (which is where I am...).
to say all libertarians are nut jobs is to say all repulicans are conservatives. You have capital L libertarians (nut jobs) and small l libertarians (strict constituionalist) I keep harping libertarian because it is the closest thing to strict constitutionalism out there, but the nut job wing needs to be ignored..... hate to break it to you, but you are a small l libertarian.... welcome back.

Dragon again
@Marco I'm pretty sure they've implied Rogers was the strongest Pirate to ever set sail, whenever they spoke of WB and Rogers its always in the context of 'WB was the only man to fight equal with Rogers' - as you can see a statement like that puts Rogers on top.
Onto this Thread though, I think its Mihawk, he's stronger then Shanks, at least seemly, and as the world strongest swordsmen that title alone puts him in the top 5ish strongest people, however going beyond the title I can't imagine any of the WB captains would be able to beat him, and Marco at least is prob in the top 5ish (or def in the top 10).
I know Dragon must be strong, however I'm inclined to think of Shiki, he had the biggest pirate fleet in the new world, had toppled several countries, and could fly. However he and his fleet where destroyed by Rogers 1 ship and crew (I know he lived, by destroyed I mean the extent which Rogers crushed him).

"Americans learned this week that the Obama Administration is so intent on obstructing the truth about Benghazi that it is even willing to defy subpoenas issued by the standing committees of the People's House. These revelations compel the House to take every possible action to ensure the American people have the truth about the terrorist attack on our consulate that killed four of our countrymen. In light of these new developments, the House will vote to establish a new select committee to investigate the attack, provide the necessary accountability, and ensure justice is finally served.
"The administration's withholding of documents – emails showing greater White House involvement in misleading the American people – is a flagrant violation of trust and undermines the basic principles of oversight upon which our system of government is built. And it forces us to ask the question, what else about Benghazi is the Obama administration still hiding from the American people?
"The House committees that have been investigating this attack have done extraordinary work, using their subpoena power, holding dozens of hearings, and conducting hundreds of interviews. Without this work we would not know much that we do today. But it's clear that questions remain, and the administration still does not respect the authority of Congress to provide proper oversight. This dismissiveness and evasion requires us to elevate the investigation to a new level. I intend for this select committee to have robust authority, and I will expect it to work quickly to get answers for the American people and the families of the victims.
"Four Americans died at the hands of terrorists nearly 20 months ago, and we are still missing answers, accountability, and justice. It's time that change."
House Speaker John Boehner
"Didn't we just call to task the NSA for intruding into American citizen's privacy in such an un-American way? The making and release of this tape is so sleazy that just listening to it makes me feel like an accomplice to the crime. We didn't steal the cake but we're all gorging ourselves on it. So, if we're all going to be outraged, let's be outraged that we weren't more outraged when his racism was first evident. Let's be outraged that private conversations between people in an intimate relationship are recorded and publicly played. Let's be outraged that whoever did the betraying will probably get a book deal, a sitcom, trade recipes with Hoda and Kathie Lee, and soon appear on 'Celebrity Apprentice' and 'Dancing with the Stars.'"

Optimizing folate delivery with Metafolin (L-5-MTHF)An extensive body of evidence indicates that adequate folate intake may provide significant cardiovascular, cellular and neural protection. However, genetic variations affecting activation and metabolism of supplemental folic acid are highly prevalent. In line with Pure Encapsulations' commitment to consistently offer innovative, science-based ingredients, Pure Encapsulations has updated a number of products, including their multivitamins, to provide Metafolin (L-5-MTHF). Metafolin is a naturally occurring, universally metabolized and active form of folate, L-5-MTHF. As such, it can be directly used in a diverse array of essential methylation reactions to support cardiovascular, neural and emotional health. Additionally, clinical evidence indicates that the bioavailability of Metafolin is superior to folic acid. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled intervention study of 144 women of child-bearing age, 5-MTHF supplementation resulted in a greater accumulation of 5-MTHF in red blood cells than equimolar doses of folic acid. Metafolin For Optimal Folate Assimilation By Kelly C. Heim, Ph.D.Activation of folic acid and interconversion of reduced folate metabolites. DHF, dihydrofolate; DHFR, dihydrofolate reductase; THF, tetrahydrofolate reductase; MTHFR, methyltetrahydrofolate reductase; 5-MTHF, methyltetrahydrofolate; SAMe, S-adenosylmethionine; SAH, S-adenosylhomocysteine; dUMP; deoxyuridine monophosphate; dTMP, deoxythymidine monophosphate. Folate is a general term referring to folic acid (pteroylglutamic acid) and its reduced derivatives. Reduced, or activated folate is the coenzyme that participates in numerous methylation reactions, which include biosynthesis of nucleic acids, neuronal membrane components and neurotransmitters. Importantly, methylation of chromatin and DNA by reduced folate is an important aspect of the maintenance of healthy gene expression. Folic acid is a synthetic, oxidized folate that requires enzymatic reduction in order to function as a methyl donor. Reductive activation of folic acid is a multi-step process. Recent evidence indicates that the efficiency of this conversion may be low and variable, possibly explaining the high plasma levels of oxidized folic acid observed in subjects receiving supplemental folic acid. The long-term effects of sustained tissue exposure to oxidized folic acid are unknown. In food, folate naturally occurs primarily in the activated form, (L)-5-methyl-THF (5-MTHF). While synthetic folic acid can be converted to 5-MTHF in the body, this process requires the enzyme 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Highly prevalent genetic variations in MTHFR compromise the efficiency of 5-MTHF synthesis. MTHFR comprises a pivotal node in folate biochemistry, transferring methyl groups to maintain essential biosynthetic and genomic regulatory processes. Metafolin ((L)-5-MTHF) is stereochemically identical to naturally occurring 5-MTHF. Metafolin does not require modification and can therefore execute the beneficial effects of folate regardless of MTHFR genotype. Metafolin is also efficiently absorbed and assimilated. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled intervention study of 144 women, 5-MTHF supplementation resulted in a greater accumulation of 5-MTHF in red blood cells than equimolar doses of folic acid. Another advantage of Metafolin is that 5-MTHF is the sole substrate for methionine synthase, which converts homocysteine to methionine to maintain vascular and neuronal health. In a placebo-controlled study of 30 women, 5-MTHF supplementation supported healthy homocysteine levels over a 3-week period. Contrary to folic acid, 5-MTHF readily traverses the blood-brain barrier to support neurological health. In a placebo-controlled trial of 123 individuals, 5-MTHF administered over 6 months promoted emotional well-being. Over the past three decades, epidemiologic evidence has demonstrated positive associations between folate-rich diets and cellular and cardiovascular health. As an active coenzyme, 5-MTHF circumvents rate-limiting enzymatic steps to directly participate in life-sustaining methyl transfer reactions. Optimizing the efficiency of these reactions is an important dimension of diverse nutritional strategies for the maintenance of cardiovascular, hematopoietic and neurological health.

- How to Read a Study Record
During the course of HIV infection the number of CD4 cells decreases, resulting in a reduced immunological response and eventually immune deficiency. Vacc-4x is a peptide-based HIV immunotherapy vaccine and is anticipated to strengthen the immune system's response to HIV.
All patients participating in this trial have previously received the vacc-4x vaccine in order to reduce the amount of HIV-1 virus in the blood and increase the immune response. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if a re-boost with Vacc-4x could further reduce the amount of HIV-1 virus and increase the immune response.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Re-boosting with Vacc-4x
All patients previously participating in the CT-BI Vacc-4x 2007/1 study and completed immunization regimen with Vacc-4x active and stopped ART (at Week 28) (No re-start of ART is required).
Biological: Vacc-4x
Two re-boost immunisations with adjuvant and vacc-4x, one at week 1 and one at week 3.
Detailed Description:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infects the cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) subset of T-cells that are critical for initiating immune responses to infection. The level of CD4 cells in the blood is a marker of a patient's immunological status. During the course of an HIV infection, the number of CD4 cells decreases, resulting in reduced immunological responsiveness and ultimately immune deficiency.
Current management of an HIV infection includes antiretroviral therapy (ART). The advent of effective ART in 1996 led to a profound decrease in type 1 HIV (HIV-1)-associated morbidity and mortality in developed countries where ART has been available.
Despite the ability of ART to inhibit HIV-1 replication, it cannot cure infection, making ART a lifelong treatment that requires sustained compliance and imposes significant individual and societal financial burdens on healthcare services. Furthermore, ART side effects (e.g., metabolic toxicity and stigmatizing body fat redistribution) often require medication that further increases the inconveniences and financial burdens of HIV management. Of additional concern is the emergence of viruses resistant to ART that can result in treatment failure.
Vacc-4x is a peptide-based HIV therapeutic vaccine. The primary objective of Vacc-4x therapeutic vaccine is to strengthen the immune system's response to HIV p24. ART dramatically reduces the level of virus in circulation in the body, thereby allowing the immune system to focus on the therapeutic vaccine that is administered. ART also allows for the generation of new naïve CD4 cells that can be triggered by the therapeutic vaccine to generate new immune responses to HIV-1. Subjects are therefore immunized with Vacc-4x in the presence of ART to generate new HIV-specific immune responses that can sustain immunological fitness for prolonged periods when patients are removed from ART. It is likely that periodic boosting on ART will be required to sustain the immunotherapeutic effect - in this way ART may become an intermittent therapy.
This study is a follow-up, re-boosting study of Study CT-BI Vacc-4x 2007/1 (EudraCT Number 2007-006302-13) performed in US and Europe (UK, Germany, Spain and Italy). All subjects to be included have been given a therapeutic immunization with Vacc-4x during the CT-BI Vacc-4x 2007/1 study. During the study a reduction in the viral load set-point (mean viral load at Week 48 and Week 52, or if Week 52 not reached, mean viral load of the last two measured values before restart of ART) was seen in the Vacc-4x group compared to placebo group. Further stimulation of the immune system by re-boosting with Vacc-4x could reduce the viral load set-point further.

Apple Holding October 23 Event for iPad Mini Introduction

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It's an invitation-only event that will likely be held at Apple's Town Hall Auditorium
After much speculation, Apple is set to finally introduce its iPad Mini tablet near the end of this month.
According to
, Apple is holding an event on October 23 for its second fall product release. It's an invitation-only event that will likely be held at Apple's Town Hall Auditorium, since it already announced its main product launch -- the iPhone 5 -- at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
While there aren't many details available on the iPad Mini, some have trickled through the cracks, such as its 7.85-inch display.
also reported that it will likely be thinner and will have a Lightning connector.
IPad Mini production
reportedly began on October 3, and Apple is looking to
produce 10 million of them
in the fourth quarter of this year. If anything, this shows that Apple is confident about the upcoming potential success of its iPad Mini, considering this is double the number of Kindle Fire's that Amazon made in Q4 2011 -- and that was the hot holiday item of last year.

Apple is dipping into the 7-inch tablet arena after years of sticking with the traditional 9.7-inch iPads. The reason is clear: 7-inch tablets are smaller and cheaper, and consumers want them.
Other tablet makers like Amazon, ASUS and Samsung have created popular 7-inch tablets over the past year. Amazon's Kindle Fire was the trailblazer for others like
Google's ASUS-built Nexus 7 tablet
, which, like the Kindle Fire, is a 7-inch tablet for $199.
The 7-inch tablet market is getting a lot more interesting lately, with Barnes & Noble releasing a new refreshed version of its 7-inch
Nook with HD and HD+ models
Beyond that, Amazon of course had to make a comeback with newer, more powerful models to stay competitive. It recently announced its
Kindle Fire HD line
, which includes an updated 7-inch Fire for $199, an 8.9-inch Fire for $299 and a 4G LTE model for $499. On top of that, Amazon is offering a generous data package for only $50 per year.
Apple wants to strike the iron while it's hot in terms of the 7-inch market, and the iPad Mini is geared up for a holiday release that could help uphold the tech giant's current tablet dominance.

The new Honda HRX217VKA is a durable, low maintenance, high quality lawnmower that is designed to:
- provide an infinitely easier lawnmowing experience through several key design features including the new SMART Drive™ System, a Zone Start Safety System, ErgoActive™ easy folding handlebars, a single rear wheel height adjuster, 9" wheels, a higher cut height, and increased bag size. The result is virtually effortless operation, speed control and better maneuverability - all at an affordable price point.
- attain best-in-class performance in both mulching and bagging modes (this normally requires two separate models, each designed for the respective purpose).
- increase the convenience for the user to convert between mulching and bagging modes without the use of any tools or the removal of any equipment.
- provide enhanced functionality by allowing a partial mulch/bag operation that allows the user to choose what percentage of grass clippings are mulched or bagged.
- improve bagging performance by increasing the distance the operator can mow between bag dumping, while maintaining the high grooming standards that homeowners - and their neighbors - demand.
- offer an exceptionally reliable start and quiet operation through the fuel-efficient GCV190 OHC 4-stroke engine.
HRX217K2VKA at a Glance
Honda Exclusives
- SMART Drive™ Variable Speed Transmission (allows the operator to easily control the mower speed - up to 3.6 mph - when resting hands on handlebars).
- 4-in-1 Versamow System with Clip Director (mulch, bag, discharge or leaf shred with no extra parts to add, no tools required.
- EZ Grip ErgoActive™ Handle and quick release folding handlebars for safety, convenience and comfort.
- Twin Blade Honda MicroCut™ System (twin blades, offset for an improved cut performance, and four cutting surfaces to produce finer clippings - for superior mulching or efficient bagging).
- Single Rear Height Adjuster (spring loaded mechanism for easy adjustment of cutting heights)
- Three year limited full warranty
- 21-inch Rust-free Nexite™ cutting deck with Limited Lifetime warranty.
- Honda Auto Choke System, eliminating the need for manually choking the engine when cold.
- Zone Start Safety System: When the mower is started, the blade turns with the engine. When the operator lets go of the mower handle the blade (engine) must stop within 3 seconds. The operator cannot leave the designated "Operator Zone" to restart the mower engine.
Cutting Heights
- Single Rear Height Adjuster allows the operator to easily adjust - without straining - the mowing height of the rear wheels. This is especially useful because the bulk of the unit's weight rests on the back wheels.
- Seven cutting height positions, ranging from .75 - 4.0 inches.
- 9" rear ball bearing wheels.
- Smoother ride on rough ground.
- The Honda HRX lawnmower Series features an advanced 4-stroke engine, the Honda GCV190, which provides a quiet, low-emission and reliable power source to drive both the cutting blade and the drive wheels.
- The all-new HRX Series 21" deck (with a limited lifetime warranty) is constructed of advanced and extremely durable Nexite™ -- a material that does not dent, rust, or corrode over time. Nexite™ is used in a variety of products including car bumpers, football helmets and computer casings and available exclusively on Honda Lawnmowers.
Handlebar Configuration
- Comfortable foam handlebar and Easy Fold quick release handle allow for simple set up - unfolding handlebars, twisting and then clicking knobs into place.
- Handlebars can be folded over completely for storage or adjusted to two different height positions for operator comfort; there are no knobs or bolts to tighten or loosen.
- Easy-off rear grassbag with wide mouth; 2.5 bushel capacity allows the operator to mow longer before emptying the bag.
Rear discharge
- Channels the clippings to the bag in the rear of the mower deck.
|SMART Drive™
|Developed with an ergonomic design, this unique, variable speed transmission allows the user to easily control the speed of the mower when resting his/her hands on the handlebars.
|The Versamow™ System allows for maximum mowing performance and flexibility, affording the HRX user to select either the bagging or mulching configuration - or any combination of the two - by easily rotating the Clip Director™. This option provides a revolutionary level of control while mowing, achieved without having to remove or replace any parts or use any tools.
|Clip Director™
|Knob on HRX that directs grass clippings to be mulched or bagged for composting or disposal. Allows for any combination of the two systems.
|Honda's DuaLube™ System achieves full engine lubrication by combining governor slinger paddles and an oil-bearing timing belt.
|ErgoActive™ Handle
|Honda's handles are designed for user safety and convenience, offering easy-to-access controls that make the mower comfortable to use.
|4-Stroke Engine Technology
|4-Stroke refers to the four strokes of movement by the piston inside the engine (intake, compression, power, exhaust).
Quiet, easy starting, no mixing of oil and gas, long life
|Engine featured on the HRX. This 4-stroke engine features an internal timing belt that results in quieter overall operation. An overhead cam layout, along with lightweight and durable uniblock construction, creates a lighter and more compact package than anything else in the class, delivering excellent power-to-weight ratio.
|Leaf Shredder
|This attachment makes easy work of Spring and Fall cleanup by chopping up the leaves during mowing; it means less emptying of the grass bag for fall clean-up.
|The Honda MicroCut Twin Blade System™ uses four cutting surfaces to cut grass into tiny pieces that quickly decompose and add nutrients to a lawn. This special design is offered only by Honda. The System also provides for superior bagging: finer clippings take up less volume, so the bag fills up less often.
|Rear Discharge
|Rear Discharge lawnmowers channel the clippings to the bag in the rear of the mower deck.
|Zone Start Safety System
|When the mower is started, the blade turns with the engine. When the operator lets go of the mower handle, the blade (engine) must stop within 3 seconds. The operator cannot leave the designated "Operator Zone" to restart the mower engine.

Skip to comments.No evidence organic foods benefit health: study
Posted on 05/24/2010 4:24:51 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Consumers who opt for organic foods often believe they are improving their health, but there is currently no strong evidence that organics bring nutrition-related health benefits, a new research review finds.
A "disappointingly small" number of well-designed studies have looked at whether organic foods may have health benefits beyond their conventional counterparts', according to the review, by researchers with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Health in the UK.
Moreover, they found, what studies have been done have largely focused on short-term effects of organic eating -- mainly antioxidant activity in the body -- rather than longer-term health outcomes. And most of the antioxidant studies failed to find differences between organic and conventional diets.
The review, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, adds to findings reported last year by the same research team.
In that study, the researchers combed through 162 articles published in the scientific literature over the last 50 years, and found no evidence that organic and conventional foods differ significantly in their nutrient content.
For the current review, the researchers were able to find only 12 published studies that met their criteria for evaluating the health effects of organic foods.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
SOURCE: http://www.ajcn.org/ American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, online May 12, 2010.
Any one here trust your local grocer that the food they are selling as "organic" at higher prices is, in fact, organic? I don't.
No, but you have to admit that organic food is one of the best examples in history of the value of excellent marketing.
We eat organic whenever possible (without a doubt, it tastes better). We also drink raw cow's milk, which is outstanding; I never knew milk tasted *that* good. Chemicals are rarely a positive.
"Organic" eating is a religion. [I comment as one with a lot of formal education in the chemistry of food and nutrition.] If it makes you feel righteous and pure, do it, but that's all placebo effect. If you want fresh, do what I do and grow your own.
Many years ago, some environmentalist reporter was interviewing a scientist and asked, "What did people do before artificial pesticides and fertilizers?" His response was, "People died younger."
Do you know the difference between white eggs and brown eggs? Brown eggs are more likely to come from brown colored chickens and they cost more. That's the only difference.
Organic Food destroys the Amazon Rain Forest.
Organic Food take 3x as much land to deliver a ton of crops. When American land is used for organics, the rest of the world asks Brazil to cut down rain forest to grow the soy beans non-organically.
So to feed their egos, leftists destroy rainforest.
The most land-economical eating is with pesticides, herbicides in mass commercial agriculture. That method leaves as much forest alone as possible.
Some organic foods are loaded with bacterial contamination..so you have to be careful, especially things like raw alfalfa and bean sprouts. There was just another recall from sprouts grown in Oregon (once again). Don't assume just because it is organic that it is safer. Raw sprouts shouldn't be given to sick or people prone to certain illnesses.
See the most recent recall:
The best case for organic foods is the relative lack of pesticides, antibiotics, and other synthetic chemicals and GMO contaminants.
There are indeed pesticides that are certified for use in "organic" farming. I have some of them in my shed for garden use. There is a common belief that organic equals chemical-free, and that simply is not the case.
**Freeper Kitchen Ping**
Yeah, and you probably prefer natural asbestos insulation over fiberglass insulation. After all, asbestos truly is a natural fiber and does a better job of insulating and you can just ignore that mesothelioma nonsense.How one can compare asbestos, which is the main cause of mesothelioma, with organically grown vegetables, I do not know ...
>> A "disappointingly small" number of well-designed studies
Why the emphasis?
And what is it about organic milk that is has a longer shelf life?
I suspect that if you were to investigate who was behind this study, it might well be either someone, or someone funded by people who make money supplying hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides to non organic corporate farms.
I buy organic milk, eggs, and meat primarily to avoid things like growth hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides which cannot be washed off these products like they can with fruits and vegetables.
Studies like this will never be able to capture a long enough period of time to determine whether avoiding these substances in your 20s, 30s, and 40s helps you avoid cancer in your 50s, 60s, and 70s.
That's really what it's all about. The placebo effect (placebo = latin for roughly "I will please") is very powerful. You can find placebo effects in drug studies of over 20%. I am not sure about the studies of feeling "righteous and pure", but as an aging former hippie, I suspect that the effects are more about the moral vanity that has afflicted my generation.
I don't pay as much attention to buying "organic" as much as I do buying "local". Living in Michigan I buy local as much as I can. Be a true conservative. Buy local first.
Years ago professor Bruce Aimes of UC Berkeley did an extensive study of naturally ocurring chemicals such as those in foods and man made chemicals. The study included hundreds of thousands of chemicals.
In general he found man made chemicals were less toxic and carcinagenic than natural chemicals but not by a wide margin.
He compared the toxicity of then used more powerful pesticides with the toxins found in many common foods taking into account the range of amounts people might consume. He then listed the most dangerous in order. None of the top 20 were man made pesticides or antibiotics (which are fully metabolized by the time the animal is processed)etc...
I do not recall the most dangerous in order, but some were coffee, peanuts, naturally grown and untreated corn, wheat and other grains, celery etc...
People stopped eating their lunches during his presentation. But, he reassured them by saying the human system was made to handle normal amounts of toxins and not to worry about it. His advice was don,t smoke, or drink excessively and wear seat belts.
As a scientist, I have found that the people who are gaga about natural or organic foods know very little if anything about bioscience. The "no genetically modified foods" people are really freaky as every food one eats now has been greatly genetically modified by nature or man over time. Read Guns Germs and Steel to get a layman's description. The only result of eating "organic" food is a weight loss-—in your wallet.
I don't have intestinal worms because I don't eat organic grown food...
And I hope you enjoy them.
I will continue to consume and enjoy my pesticide protected, hormone added, chemically fertilized, industrially farmed meats and produce, which has allowed Americans and other industrial-farm nations to have the highest standard of living and longest lifespans the world has ever seen.
But you go ahead. Enjoy those weevils in your corn, e-coli outbreaks and fantastically high prices. It's a free country! Sorta...
I buy organic milk because it seems to spoil more slowly than the usual stuff. The organic is still good on its "use by" date, whereas the regular milk sometimes seemed to be spoiling as it came out the door of the store.
Bad idea - When organic foods are attached by viruses, or insects or mold, or birds etc., they develop internal toxins and antibodies(just like we do). Those defense mechanisms are cancer causers. Pesticides wash off the toxins don't.
Eat free range chicken? Same problem but worse.
But hey its your money.
Which means that it is also lower in vitamin content and the proteins have been damaged.
So you are actually ahead of the game if you drink the two buck a gallon stuff rather then the four dollar a half gallon over processed stuff that is labeled "Organic".
... which have...
Sorry. Just got up. First cup of coffee.
Milk taste better organic, vegis, chicken, fruits; steaks do not. Cheese, bread... stuff just taste better. Poison? No thanks; grew up on a farm and I haven't a lot of respect for the king-size bastards whom bought out the small farmers and turned farming into a ridiculous industry of wanna-be cowboy/farmers who grew up limp-wristed and lame.
As I type, I'm cooking some spinach from my garden, I know that cooking it loses some of the nutrients but I'm replacing them with bacon grease.
Chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
Well, no. The taste differential between milk labeled organic and the regular stuff is caused by the fact that they are processed differently. Organic milk, just like aseptic milk has been subjected to ultrahigh temperature processing. This lowers the vitamin content of the milk and destroys some of the proteins but it caramelizes the sugars which makes the milk taste sweeter.
If you like the sweeter taste then you would be better off buying the aseptic milk which tastes the same but is cheaper and has a much longer shelf life.
Chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
Explain strawberry milk.
I do trust the food from my local grocer. It's a food co-op, and a locally owned store. Most of the produce is local (including many winter crops), and what the stores sell is what the owners and members feed their own families.
Red cows.
But you are on your own for banana milk.
so pesticides are good for you?
My point was that not all things organic are better than synthetics. The wide availability of high quality, inexpsnsive foods can be traced directly to science - including artificial pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and engineered/hybrid seeds.
Chemicals? What does pasteurization have to do with chemicals? If chemicals are a negative, are pathogens like salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Brucella species, Campylobacter jejuni, and so on, considered a positive?
I have tasted both in their raw state as well as processed and unless you have a farmer who is feeding the cows something like chives to give the milk a flavor it really does all taste the same.
As good as any plant would be. Plants do produce pesticides naturally you know.
Chemicals? What does pasteurization have to do with chemicals? If chemicals are a negative, are pathogens like salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Brucella species, Campylobacter jejuni, and so on, considered a positive?The cow's milk unpasteurized from cows fed with food not chemically doused is what I meant to say ... This is a good link on raw milk. My daughter, interestingly, was highly allergic to all dairy (her eyes would puff up), so she stopped with consuming it and took supplements instead, but when we switched over to raw milk, not only can she consume as much as she wants, she says she no longer feels weak with tough workouts (she's a polo player). And I notice a difference in the pool as well. More positive protein; more power!! I heard about raw milk years ago from a friend who would vacation in Ireland. She drank the milk there [unpasteurized] all the time without adverse reactions regarding her allergies.
Bull droppings !!
The decision to eat organic is Not whether the food has more vitamins or nutrition. They should be about the same.
The decision between the two is whether you want your apple With neurotoxic pesticides and herbicides, or Without.
It's a simple choice, if you don't like chronic neurological impairment or cancer.
You realize that all food is made up of chemicals, right?
There was a kid I was friends with from the farm next to us as I was growing up whose family ran a small dairy farm. They only drank raw milk. One winter he quit going to school. We learned he had contracted brucellosis. He almost died and we didn't see him for about six months. He was never the same. It ruined his life. Brucella is just one of many very dangerous pathogens you risk whenever you choose to drink raw milk. Children are especially at risk. Infections are rare but they are serious and debilitating when they occur and it's usually the children who are hit the hardest. I never understood why anyone would accept the risk given that pasteurization kills the bugs. To each his own.
To each his own.One of our family members runs an organic farm, and we feel very fortunate to benefit from same ... so, yes, to each his own! :)
It's their money and they can do what they want, but don't force it on me.
And it still doesn't help your health.

Artbound: Cultural Journalism and Transmedia Storytelling
The Oxy community is invited to a screening and conversation with Juan Devis, Executive producer of ARTBOUND.
How have online platforms, social media structures, and streaming video capacities transformed possibilities for cultural media production? KCET's Artbound demonstrates such possibilities as a team of over 50 cultural critics from across Southern California write and post articles on the emerging artists and activities of SoCal's vibrant art community to the Artbound website. Site visitors vote on the articles, with top picks shot and produced as short video documentaries that are then streamed online and broadcast on KCET, America's largest independent television station. The creators of Artbound seek to transform traditional modes of top-down media production, instead creating mechanisms "through which audiences can take direct action in the creation of a common narrative." Executive Producer Juan Devis will share the genesis of Artbound, screen sample episodes, and join in conversation about the potentials of such transmedia storytelling.
