Am I the only one who thinks that the Fox audio for the All Star Game pre-game hootenanny is off?
Announcer seems low.
No music with the musical acts, just their vocals.
I mean, Fox’s audio is normally atrocious on baseball games, so this is within the realm of normal.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?
