Another Flowers Fraud On Obama?s High Court Choice
2009-05-08 21:29:00 I have to believe that the Philadelphia Daily News give column space to Christine Flowers on Friday because it will make our weekends more enjoyable to know that her dreck won?t appear again for seven days afterwards.She wastes more of our time here today on the question of who President Obama will choose as his Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice David Souter; after telling us that Obama ?still? hasn?t made his choice (is he supposed to be governed by sands running from an hourglass on this?), she implies that he?s busy making sure the demographics of his choice are satisfactory to the voters who elected him.And then she tells us this?This is the first time in more than a decade and a half that a Democratic president will be asking a majority Democratic Congress to approve his high court pick. The last was Bill Clinton, whose choice of Ruth Bader Ginsburg was graciously handled by both sides of the aisle: She was confirmed by a 96-3 vote.Don't expect to see those numbers this...

California High Court Tosses Gay Marriage Ban
2008-05-15 21:27:00 In a long-awaited decision that generated instant jubilation in the LGBT community and among their friends and allies, the Republican-dominated California Supreme Court overturned a ban on same-sex marriage today. The 4-3 decision is here. (WARNING, 172-page pdf file.) From the ruling (paragraphs inserted for readability): After carefully evaluating the pertinent considerations in the present case, we conclude that the state interest in limiting the designation of marriage exclusively to opposite-sex couples, and in excluding same-sex couples from access to that designation, cannot properly be considered a compelling state interest for equal protection purposes. To begin with, the limitation clearly is not necessary to preserve the rights and benefits of marriage currently enjoyed by opposite-sex couples. Extending access to the designation of marriage to same-sex couples will not deprive any opposite-sex couple or their children of any of the rights and benefits conferred by the ma...

ONLY CA CAN AUDIT UNDER MVAT-BOMBAY HIGH COURT
2008-04-09 17:31:00 In a decision that will affect the lawyers specialising in Sales Tax laws as well as former Sales Tax officers' who work as sales tax practitioners, Bombay High Court has held that only Chartered Accountants (CAs) can audit and certify accounts for traders. Hitherto, traders had to hire only sales tax lawyers or former sales tax officers as advisor's in tax matters. But a recent amendment to Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act made it mandatory for traders with sale of over Rs 40 lakhs to get their accounts audited and certified by a professional CA. The amendment specifies that only a CA can audit the account. It allows lawyers and other sales tax practitioners to represent traders before sales tax commissioner and tribunals, but not to audit accounts. Various organisations, including Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa, the Sales Tax Practitioners Association of Maharashtra and Bombay Small Scale Industries Association moved High Court, claiming that this restraint violated right to...

Singapore Horizon Towers case back in High Court
2008-03-20 08:54:00 Singapore Horizon Towers case back in High Court  THE seemingly never-ending saga of the Horizon Towers collective sale is clearly losing steam. Two of the nine sets of minority owners fighting the sale have dropped out of the High Court appeal that started yesterday, and even the number of onlookers in the public gallery was noticeably fewer than at previous hearings.

He highlighted the fact that a higher offer of $510 million from Vineyard Holdings in Hong Kong was not communicated to the owners. Mr K. Shanmugam and his team from Allen & Gledhill, who ar...

Arguing before the State Supreme Court Tuesday, attorneys for Robert Henderson said that it’s nobody’s business that their client had joined the Knights Party, an active chapter of the Klan, because it never affected the way he treated people of different races. Moreover, Henderson’s lawyers contend, the state violated his right to free speech. “Since … Henderson has never deprived anyone of any right, privilege, liberty, property or employment because of race, he has not violated the public policy identified by the district court,” Vincent Valentino argued in his written briefs. “Henderson was fired for exercising his constitutional and statutory rights to free speech and free political affiliation, and not for violating clear and explicit Nebraska public policy.” The agency’s racial-profiling data bears o...

Honk Kong pirate radio station gets OK from High Court
2008-02-11 09:00:00 The Hong Kong government's attempt to shut down pirate radio broadcaster Citizen's Radio was scuttled in a recent decision of the Hong Kong High Court. In the decision, the Court stated that it did not see how the station's broadcasting could jeopardize public safety. In a complicated ongoing legal battle, the Hong Kong government had sought to extend an injunction preventing the station from going to air. Citizen's Radio argued that denial of their application for a license violated their freedom of expression. The unlicensed broadcasts were started in 2005 by a group of pro-democracy activists after their application for a license was denied by the Broadcasting Authority. The station airs phone-ins and discussions about current events and politics, including discussions about Hong Kong's transition to full democracy. In 2006, the station was raided by state agents, members were arrested and equipment confiscated. After resuming broadcasts, the station got under offic...

High Court Likens Electrocution To Frankstein
2008-02-09 00:58:00 The Nebraska Supreme Court in a 6-1 ruling has struck down the state's sole means of execution, ruling that electrocution is cruel and unusual punishment. The high court made the ruling Friday in the case of Raymond Mata Junior, convicted for the 1999 kidnapping and killing of 3-year-old Adam Gomez of Scottsbluff. The court said Mata was properly convicted and his death sentence stands, but it can not be implemented under current Nebraska law. The court also said the Nebraska Legislature may vote to have a death penalty, just not one that offends constitutional rights. In its ruling, the high court says that electrocution inflicts "intense pain and agonizing suffering." The court noted that some shock victims suffer broken bones and burns. Now, the Constitution doesn't specifically ban "intense pain and agonizing suffering", however it DOES bar "cruel and unusual punishment". It's the "cruel" part that they were arguing about. However, no one wants to come up with a s... |
