UPDATEx6: For Lawsuit Purposes

Posted on April 16, 2011 | Leave a comment

Anybody know who Righthaven is?

Well, study up. The secret is out. An excerpt:

“As many defendants in Righthaven actions have argued, Righthaven does not truly own the copyrights it sues over,” Marc John Randazza, one of the attorneys for the Media Bloggers Association, said Friday in a blog post titled in part “Does the House of Cards Collapse?”

He said Righthaven’s lawsuits seem to run afoul of case law.

Read the whole thing.

UPDATE: Righthaven disses the Court.

UPDATEx2: A federal judge ruled Monday that publishing an entire article is fair use. This is the latest blow against newspaper copyright troll Righthaven.

UPDATEx3: Righthaven is not giving up.

UPDATEx4: RH’s attorney gives a lame excuse.

UPDATE x5: Appareently, the judge fined Righthaven $5,000 for misleading the court about their lawsuits. And, wait for it, Righthaven is going to appeal the fine. HAR!

UPDATE x6: Judge scolds Righthaven lawyer, adds another $32,000 judgment
Money talks, BS walks. Add more zeros, Your Honor.

POTUS Wants Congress Out of His Business

Posted on April 16, 2011 | 1 comment

Funny, that.
Imagine, the Constitution keeps getting in his way.

One rider – Section 2262 — de-funds certain White House adviser positions – or “czars.” The president in his signing statement declares that he will not abide by it.

Is this Constitutional, or not? Sounds to me that our POTUS loves (too much) to show his temper with the people and our allies, but not our enemies (his friends?). He throws us into deep, deep debt, does not end the wars he has been against and starts a third.

Don’t know about anyone else, but this elected individual should never have been put into this job as POTUS. He keeps contradicting himself.

Come on 2012.

An aside but perhaps very telling.

Warring Against the Classes

Posted on April 13, 2011 | 2 comments

Or, just one class. Trouble is, the POTUS has just one class in mind. And he wants automatic tax hikes when they (he) overspends.

His solution? Check this out –

A “debt failsafe trigger,” Obama’s scheme would automatically raise taxes if politicians spend too much. According to the talking points distributed by the White House, the automatic tax increase would take effect “if, by 2014, the projected ratio of debt-to-GDP is not stabilized and declining toward the end of the decade.”

By ABC News via TaxProf Blog.

A very important video to watch on that site above..

Could this happen to any one of us? Answer that after watching the video.

AZ SB1070 Thwarted

Posted on April 11, 2011 | 1 comment

Parts of that illegal immigration law – by the 9th Circuit Appeals Court. Imagine my surprise.
At least now this issue just may step up into the realm for SCOTUS involvement.

And ABC News seems to agree. However, an excerpt:

A central provision of the law requires police officers to ask for immigration papers if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person they have stopped, detained or arrested is in the country illegally.

Sounds suspiciously just like the 287G program that County Sheriffs enter into withe I.C.E.

So it sounds to me that Arizona has replicated that program to be workable for the state.

I fail to see a problem here, that is, other than the blatant poliitics on the part of DOJ.

Now can we say this is an illegal, warrantless search against all forms of common sense in the U.S.A.??????

UPDATE: TSA defends this.

Yeah? How about – keep your filthy hands off my kids! They are too small for burqas and too small to hide anythng.

Incompetence From the Top Down

Posted on April 10, 2011 | Leave a comment

April Fools has been over for a bit.

So why would the White House think we would find their tacit admission that their 2012 budget plan wasn’t serious – funny?

This is beyond infuriating. This is unconscionable, ill-conceived, unwarranted and – to me – treasonous to the extreme since it detrimentally affects every – single – living (and yet to be) American in this country.

Lifting Gun Bans on College Campuses

It is important. Just ask Amanda Collins.
Better yet, read what happened to her and the next victim after her.

She has a good head on her shoulders.

“I don’t understand why (the state) trusts good, responsible people to be able to have their firearm across the street, and as soon as they cross an arbitrary line, they somehow lose all reason and ability to be able to be competent with that responsibility. It makes no sense to me at all.”

I hope it stays there.

WI AG Calls for State Supremes to Intervene

Posted on April 9, 2011 | Leave a comment

[JURIST] Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen [official website] on Thursday filed a filed a Petition for Supervisory Writ [text, PDF] directly to the state Supreme Court over a circuit court judge’s temporary blocking [JURIST report] of a controversial bill that limits the rights of public employee unions. The suit claims that Dane County Circuit Court [official website] Judge Maryann Sumi did not have the constitutional authority to block the publication of the Budget Repair Bill [Senate Bill 11 text, PDF]. It then asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court [official website] to immediately take jurisdiction of the case and dismiss it. A Petition for Supervisory Writ is not a direct appeal of any lower court decision, but rather a procedure that starts a new action altogether [Wis. Stat. 809.70 text] because the petitioner claims a judge violated his or her constitutional authority.

“a judge violated his or her constitutional authority” well now, someone has it right.

Let’s wait and see if the state Supreme Court will agree.
