Virginia partial birth abortion law overturned again by federal court
2008-05-21 13:42:00 The 2003 Virginia law to ban so-called "partial birth" abortions have been overturned again by a panel of the federal 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. The U.S. Supreme Court allowed for a similar federal measure to take effect and sent the Virginia law back down for reconsideration but thus far, the reconsideration has yielded the same result.The federal judicial panel's rationale for striking down the Virginia late-term abortion law was because of a slight difference between it and the federal law. Unlike the feds, the Virginia measure allowed for prosecution of doctors who intend to perform standard second-trimester abortions that become the illegal type of abortion. The panel thus classified the Virginia law again as placing an undue burden on women seeking abortion and struck it down.----Apparently, clear instructions from the U.S. Supreme Court just will not dissuade the 4th Circuit. The basic reality is that the procedure involved is gruesome debasing of life and should not be a...

Minnesota game law defeated in federal court
2008-03-19 14:46:00 Gamertell – Minnesota is another state in a long series that has passed video game legislation only to have it mercilessly beaten down by the US court system. The Minnesota law was a little unusual in that it would have fined game purchasers rather than retailers. Children age seventeen or younger trying to buy a Mature-rated video game (or an Adults Only game, if you can find a store that sells them) would face a $25 fine for the transgression. It was struck down first by a US District Court judge back in July 2006, then finished off ... read more

Federal Court Issues Decision Critical of the Corps of Engineers While Gran
2008-01-31 16:53:00 A decision has been issued in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, by Judge Stanwood R. Duval, Jr., dismissing the consolidated class action lawsuit against the United States Army Corps of Engineers for the failure of the Orleans Parish outfall canals and, in particular, the 17th Street Canal that allegedly accounted for approximately 80% of the flooding of downtown New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina (“In Re: Katrina Canal Breaches Consolidated Litigation, No. 05-4182 E.D. La.). The only remaining defendants are the Orleans Parish Levee Board and the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board. Judge Duval ruled that the 17th Street, London and Orleans Avenue outfall canals were federal flood control projects and therefore statutorily immune from suit under the Flood Control Act of 1928. In an opinion that was very critical of the Corps of Engineers, Judge Duval stated the following:“While the United States government is ...

Federal Court Rules that Negotiated IDIQ/MATOC Contracting Cannot be Used I
2007-11-05 19:53:00 In a recent prebid protest presented by our firm, Payne Hackenbracht & Sullivan, the United States Court of Federal Claims considered the protest of Weeks Marine, Inc. (“Weeks”) challenging the decision of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, South Atlantic Division (“SAD”), to solicit proposals for maintenance dredging and shore protection projects using negotiated indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) multiple-award task order contracts (“MATOC”). The Court noted that the contemplated change to negotiated IDIQ task order contracting represented a significant departure from SAD’s prior practice of using sealed bidding, and further noted that the policy change had caused widespread industry criticism.

Good News: Federal Court Decides Mountaintop Removal Permits Illegal
2007-03-25 06:10:00 I've passionately written about the destructive nature of Mountaintop removal before here on Green Options. In an effort to mine coal, entire mountains are laid barren through explosive practices that destroy the ecosystem and lay waste to streams and valleys. The past couple years have been difficult, with efforts to fight legislation that allows the mining to proceed so recklessly quickly brushed aside in court. Remediation projects in the past have proven to do very little to return these areas to safe and viable landscapes. Awareness of these practices, however, and onus for managing their environmental pollution is finally being scrutinized and punished. This past Friday, a federal judge in West Virginia passed a decision stating "that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers violated the law by issuing mountaintop removal mining permits that allowed vital headwater streams to be permanently buried." In other words, the days of easy permits may be coming to an end. The ...
