pretty much, yes.
Much as there are certain drugs that actually give you a "high" but are so new that no legislation has been made, so you can buy them legally. I think this falls into that "grey area".
And I don't think you're arguing. This is just a good topic the intellegent ones are still in command of this thread! I just learned something from Music Man. Who says Queenzone doesn't make you smarter?

Anything that is not illegal is legal. "Legal" simply implies that the law permits it. To my best knowledge, there are no statutory laws that say what you _can_ do, but rather only what you _cannot_.
If common law decides that something is not _illegal_, the status of the action is not changed. It is still _legal_. However, the action is now protected under common law. No action can be _made illegal_ through common law, however. Its illegality through statutory law can only be reinforced.
I am fairly certain that most, if not all, of what I said is true, but I welcome corrections.

I think this woman is visiting lesbian orgies on a daily basis.
Since common law varies from state to state, I wasn't referring to that.
Drugs, for example, are legal, if certain conditions are met. They are categorized into classes and given requirements for the consumer. That all was approved and signed off for.
But, back to topic, the right to gather, peacefully, is not illegal. Therefore, the nut cases are technically allowed to gather at the funeral if they want. I think the bikers are great, but they can't be anywhere.
Nuns can hang out at abortion clinics. Personally, I think it's none of their business, but they can do it. There's really not much difference.

State common law varies from state to state. Federal common law does not. Common law is pretty much any law which derives from the Judicial branch of the government.

I didn't know they had Federal common law. I wonder what that covers...

Common law is based on the tradition of the old English system of law-making - the law is what the judge says it is (then other judges follow that precedent in future cases). In the case of this funeral situation, it might be possible to get an injunction to stop them protesting if you could convince the judge the protesting at the funeral would cause irreparable harm to anyone at the funeral. (But I'm not sure of this at all. It would be a question of First Amendment rights I think and since the protests have been peaceful so far I don't know how easy it would be to get an injunction.) Judges only step in during a dispute (there has to be a current dispute) when there is no law to settle such dispute, or to interpret laws that are already "out there" but not clear. Only one correction (or addition), Music Man: some government agencies are under the control of Congress, therefore they are considered legislative agencies (I think that is the term - I forget) as opposed to agencies under the control of the Executive branch. They can do all the rule making they want, but if they start getting outside what Congress or the Executive branch intended for their purpose they can be corrected. Are you studying law?

It's funny, there's the Tyra clip with four women arguing about god, sin, anger and righteousness... and then there's Dan, sinfully lusting over the "fag-enabler" in the group.
Sheesh, Dan. Didn't you HEAR their message?! Don't you get it? Your thoughts have now pissed off an already raging mad god!!! Heavens above, I wonder what kind of pestilence will be unleashed upon us now. America is doomed, and all because of Mr. Jingles. Nice going...

**laughes** It's ok MagicalFreddieMercury...this is just Dan. We have to remember that he's a member of the male species, and therefore thinks with the brain that isn't in his head most of the time. :-)
Besides, according to this group we were already doomed to go to hell anyway, so no harm no foul. It's gunna be a hell of a party down there though...pun intended[/QUOTE]
C'mon girls!
Sex drive doesn't work only on men. There's a ton of girls who would (or at least consider) banging Johnny Depp if they were given the chance.
Of course none of them want to admit it.

Either way...
Whatever turns you girls on the most, but I can see that there's a strong fetish for pirate outfits, gold teeth, and talking like Keith Richards.

Not only Johnny Depp, but Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and (sorry John) Paul McCartney.

I was only vaguely familiar with this, but I did want to stress that under the US Constitution, each branch of government provides its own source of law. I am not studying law, but legal philosophy is quite interesting, yes? I may study law in the future, but right now I am a mere undergraduate college student.

Oh, no. I wouldn't call it a fetish. Just something that makes us take notice. If it were a fetish we would consider the pirate with the wooden eye attractive. I don't think Johnny Depp was attractive in his Willie Wonka role at all. Besides, he is married.
