Colorado to limit free speech of pro-marijuana magazines
After a wrongful arrest, prosecutors frequently offer the dropping of charges, or expugement of arrest records, if the person wrongly arrested agrees to not sue. This is related to the practice of a wrongfully arrested person agreeing to a settlment, but banned from... Gangnam for human rights
Alto Pass, Illinois is a rather small little village towards the southern tip of that state. A few hundred people. But at it is the center of controversy, because it is one more example of the government actively promoting religon, specifically Christianity. A 111 foot... Why it was good Robert Bork was never on the Supreme Court
There is now historical revisionism by some, that the late Robert Bork would have made a good Justice on the Supreme Court. No he would have not. Robert Bork, even twenty plus years after the Civil Rights Era, believed that it was perfectly within the right of state... Your right to nullify as a juror to veto unjust prosecutions
I am writing to remind my fellow Americans about jury nullification. It is a reminder to citizen jurors that they don't have to be a rubber stamp for the government in an unjust prosecution. Even before we were a nation, under common law, the right for jurors to reject unjust... Can a police chief arrest you if you criticize him, for criminal
One of the most amazing things I find about the law is that in some states, there are still criminal defamation cases. The government can imprison you for defamation, but the defamation often involves public officials. See, if the Constitution means anything it is that those... Can the police jail you for a week, after an illegal arrest?
A recent U.S. Supreme Court case affirmed the ability of police to engage in strip searches after an arrest, at a police station, even for minor arrests. I am kind of torn on this, because while I don't support the drug war, along as it exists I can understand police wanting... Mr. Putin: End These Wrongs
As Vladimir Putin is embarking on his third term as Russia's president, it becomes useful to know what in Russia really needs changing. The tax system is OK; the property system is OK; the educational system is OK; but there are many things that are not OK.
The worst... Court Accountability and Court Corruption
When America's founders created a government of checks and balances, they did so out of consideration that government has an inherent capacity to become corrupt and tyrannical, and that imposing accountability to the public and separation of powers was the only way to... Does chanting at politician's speech equal a felony?
In this case four Occupy San Diego protestors were arrested after interrupting the mayor of that city's speech. I am not really that opposed to their arrest. In a public assembly one doesn't have an absolute right to yell a protest. It's a balancing act between... A Legal Lesson on the Penn State Scandal
I have read many complaints about how long investigators "waited" to take legal action, and all these claims do is reinforce my understanding of how little the majority of the American public actually knows about the justice system. ... Julian Assange, women's rights, and the depth of corruption
Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, has been issued an international arrest warrant over trumped-up charges of rape. The two women who made these charges have repeatedly said that the sex was consensual and are continuing to say that the sex was consensual. ... Political Correctness and Fathers' Rights
Social movements have the habit of empowering the people who least deserve it and coming down hardest on the people who likewise deserve it the least. When Soviet Union fell, it was not the real wrongdoers - the corrupt bureaucrats, the KGB, the military hazers -... Children talk of their experience in court system
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js9OvgDb5Tg&feature=player_embedded Republican Lies: How do they get away with it?
As I continue in my political research to view the standpoints and platforms of Republican candidates, I feel like shouting at them. That I of course cannot do; but I can write what I think about their statements... True sources of tyranny and corruption
While right-wingers and libertarians continue to howl about "statism" or "socialism," in reality in America neither exists. American government, especially under Obama and Clinton, has been one of the most benign, most unobtrusive, most gentle governments on the planet. There...
