Should a 12 year old eating French fries on the Metro be a crime?

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

But let's just say that I've ridden on numerous German cities' subways and by far the filthiest are those in Cologne, where there are no garbage cans. (I'm not sure if eating on the train is actually illegal anywhere, or where exactly...such a rule is sure as hell not enforced anywhere in Germany though; and the rule on no alcohol consumption on the train is sometimes enforced but usually not.)

Garbage cans are unlikely to be installed on the Metro for the simple reason that they provide an excellent place to dump bombs. The simple "inconvenience" of not being able to munch on your Twix bar is worth not having another 3/11 or 7/7.

There used to be garbage cans inside Metro, but they were removed after 9/11.

Roberts is about as anti-activist as you can get, as demonstrated by this case.  He is exactly what we need.  jfern's opposition just proves that his recent anti-activist rhetoric was disingenuous; he labels judges "activist" when he disagrees with them.

No, basically alll judges are activist. I'm sick of hearing that only liberal judges are activist.

If you define "activist" as "a judge who may overturn a law because they believe it is unconstitutional" then yes, all judges are activists.

I prefer wiki's definition:

It's the intent that best defines judicial activism.  Activists are not every judge who uses judicial review, but only the ones that use it to push an agenda.

Yep, I was fairly certain I'd seen them on there before 9/11. I was a bit younger then so I wasn't sure.
