California Attorney General Jerry Brown On The Fairness Doctrine "A Little
2009-02-15 15:53:00 Audio from Michael Savage here. More on this from World Net Daily:"A little state control wouldn't hurt anybody," declared Jerry Brown, California's Democrat attorney general, in on air comments yesterday about the possible reinstatement of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine.""You have a point of view and I have a point of view and they are different. I think the clash can sometimes illuminate the two better than just a one sided presentation," stated Brown, during an exclusive interview with Michael Savage broadcast on the top talker's national radio show.Savage countered by positing any revival of the "Fairness Doctrine" is aimed at muting conservative talk radio. Brown replying by stating Savage's suggestion had the "tinge of paranoia."It "would not apply to any other element of the media. It's aimed strictly at us in the minority in the media," Savage shot back. "And they want us controlled and constrained and removed from the airwaves. They only want to hear progressive voic...

An Open Letter to Attorney General Mukasey
2008-05-17 00:25:00 by Jayne Lyn Stahl Dear Attorney-General Mukasey: It is my understanding that the government now plans to collect DNA from anyone who is arrested by federal law enforcement, and that the samples will be stored in an effort to reduce violence in our society. Moreover, the U.S. government reportedly now intends to take a cheek swab from foreigners we detain, whether they've been charged or not. While Congress may have authorized Justice to expand DNA outreach, as citizens, and taxpayers, we're entitled to know what your intentions are. The concept of DNA collection is, in itself, not a heinous thing. Indeed, if science were to be used to combat wrongful conviction instead of setting up a blueprint for pursuing future incarceration, then I would be a strong proponent of taking DNA samples from everyone who is arrested, and storingthe samples. But, instead, the database in which the DNA will be stored, CODIS, may one day be a holding cell for vital genetic information, as well a...

Ken Cuccinelli to declare for Attorney General Monday
2008-03-29 16:17:00 Republican State Senator Ken Cuccinelli is expected to possibly finalize the 2009 Republican ticket on Monday by declaring for Virginia Attorney General on Monday. With Bill Bolling having declared last week that he will run for re-election as Lt. Governor and AG Bob McDonnell having already declared he will run for Governor, it could be a McDonnell-Bolling-Cuccinelli ticket for the Republicans. Apparently Virginia Republicans still haven’t wised up to the fact that the politics of Virginia are rapidly changing and we’re no longer going to elect ultra conservatives to office. A patent lawyer and conservative Republican, Cuccinelli was elected to the General Assembly in a 2002 special election. He has been re-elected to the state Senate twice, most recently last year when he retained his office by a margin of about 100 votes. His office Friday announced a Monday afternoon press conference in Fairfax County. SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Ken Cuccinelli to declare for At...

Ohio Foreclosure Scene: Attorney General Marc Dann Takes Action
2008-02-07 22:39:00 In a move aimed at fighting the rising numbers of foreclosures in his state, Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann made a move to slow the foreclosure process down, and in doing so has attracted the attention of state officials and lawmakers across the country. Citing laws that require lenders to prove that a home is in default before a foreclosure can be pursued, Dann has attempted to make it requisite for lenders to adequately prove to the court through paperwork that they have the right to foreclose on a property before doing so. While this procedure is a law, in the past many courts have overlooked it when allowing foreclosures, since the paperwork takes time to assemble and prove. But in Dann's eyes, time is just what homeowners in danger of foreclosure need, and if the law provides more of it for them than they are getting, he think that homeowners should be entitled to it.
FLA Attorney General Looking at Legality of Cruise Fuel Charge
2008-02-06 03:10:00 Looks like a good number of people have complained about the fuel charge that has started officially on most cruise lines cruises this month. Enough to get the Florida Attorney General to look into it. While I do not think that much will be done about the charge itself, it will be interesting to see if anything happens with anyone that booked their cruise prior to the anouncement. Cruise lines gave booked guests a chance to cancel if they booked prior, or pay the fuel charge. I talked about this in November and December when all this was going down. Cruise lines were even sharing a portion of the fuel charge with travel agents that got their booked passengers to pay. If they are sharing the money then it did not go towards fuel. We will have to keep an eye on this one and see what happens.

PPP denies Dubai meeting between Zardari and Pak Attorney General
2008-01-23 09:25:00 The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has denied that PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari had met Attorney General (AG) Malik Muhammad Qayyum in Dubai.

Deputy Attorney General Evading the Truth
2007-12-20 04:39:00 Following in the footsteps of Attorney General Micheal Mukasey, Mark Filip, President Bush's nominee for the Deputy Attorney General position, refused to correctly label waterboarding as torture during his confirmation hearing this morning. Considering Michael Mukasey's confirmation was not derailed by his disgusting display of false ignorance, there is no reason to believe that Mark Filip's confirmation for the #2 spot in the Justice Department will be hindered by his ridiculous claim that he just doesn't have enough information to interpret the law.Mark Filip's dodging of the "waterboarding as torture" question should not be surprising considering that nobody partnered with the Bush Administration has been allowed to answer that question and keep their jobs. Regardless, I just thought it was something we should know.
