http://www.wisbar.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Search&template=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&ContentID=34966 I know that many of you are going to look at this and say, what do I care about that for!? Please, permit me to explain. Most everyone here in 4um has heard about the recent case where a lawyer was acquited of a 'wilful failure to file income taxes' charge. There have been other cases similiar to this, all of which, including this latest case, have one thing in common; they have no weight in cases to come before the BAR later because they are unpublished cases. I will explain a little more at the end. If you truly do not want to read all of this garbage, just skip to the end ...

UC Irvine reverses field on Chemerinsky The constitutional scholar says university officials told him the deal was off to head the new school because he was too ‘politically controversial.’ By Garrett Therolf and Henry Weinstein, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers 9:48 PM PDT, September 12, 2007 IRVINE, Calif. -- In a showdown over academic freedom, a prominent legal scholar said Wednesday that the University of California, Irvine's chancellor had succumbed to conservative political pressure in rescinding his contract to head the university's new law school, a charge the chancellor vehemently denied.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero in New York struck down portions of the Patriot Act as unconstitutional, ordering the FBI to stop issuing "national security letters" that secretly demand customer information from Internet service providers and other businesses. Washington Post writer Dan Eggen commentated that the judge's ruling clarified "the landmark anti-terrorism law violates the First Amendment and the Constitution's separation of powers provisions because it, in effect, prohibits recipients of the FBI letters from revealing their existence and does not provide adequate judicial oversight of the process. "Marrero wrote in his 106-page ...

WASHINGTON - A federal judge struck down campaign finance regulations Wednesday that govern when candidates and independent groups can coordinate their political messages. The judge called on the Federal Election Commission to write stricter rules in time for the 2008 elections The decision marks the second time that U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has invalidated the FEC regulations as too lenient. They were drafted in response to a landmark 2002 law that restricts political donations. Kollar-Kotelly said the FEC regulations too narrowly apply to coordinated advertising that takes place within 90 days of a congressional election or 120 days before a presidential election. The ...

Portland, Tigard-Tualatin, Lake Oswego, Vancouver and other large Portland-area school districts make it a rule that no one except police can bring guns onto school property.

PORTLAND, Ore. - The lawyer whom the FBI wrongly accused in the 2004 Madrid terrorist bombings was in court Monday to urge a judge to strike down provisions of the USA Patriot Act that helped investigators conduct what he says were unconstitutional searches of his home and office. Brandon Mayfield settled part of his case against the federal government for $2 million in November but was allowed to continue to pursue his challenge of the Patriot Act. He says the government is continuing to violate his civil rights by retaining thousands of copied pages of his family's personal information. Mayfield was arrested May 6, 2004, after a fingerprint found on a bag of detonators in Madrid was ...

The Unitary King George ; Wednesday, May 30, 2007 As the nation focused on whether Congress would exercise its constitutional duty to cut funding for the war, Bush quietly issued an unconstitutional bombshell that went virtually unnoticed by the corporate media. The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007, would place all governmental power in the hands of the President and effectively abolish the checks and balances in the Constitution. If a "catastrophic emergency" - which could include a terrorist attack or a natural disaster - occurs, Bush's new directive says: "The President shall lead the activities of the Federal ...

Before I get into the stealing of our elections, I want to make a few comments here about the Mexican truck invasion, another slap in the face to Americans and American truck drivers. I've been recovering from emergency surgery on my spine August 30, 2007, and am a tad bit behind in columns. Only a party hack or visitor from outer space can deny at this point in time that Bush's agenda, just like his father before him, Bill Clinton and other past presidents, is the elimination of these united States of America and total integration with Mexico and Canada into one region of a world government. The North American Union (NAU) and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America ...

EXCLUSIVE: Former Sen. Intel Chair Reports White House Misled About Wiretap Briefings One of the long-standing deceptions involved with the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program is the White House claim that they fully briefed Congress prior to conducting these activities. After the domestic surveillance program was revealed in 2005, former Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Bob Graham (D-FL) said that White House briefings that he attended in the Vice President’s office failed to disclose that the administration was spying on Americans: There was no reference made to the fact that we were going to…begin unwarranted, illegal — and I think ...

This new division of Homeland Security was conceived entirely by the Executive Branch, with no Congressional input, and will serve as a clearinghouse for ...
FBI's Phone Record Requests Cast Wide Net

(09-09) 04:00 PDT Washington - -- The FBI cast a much wider net in its terrorism investigations than it has previously acknowledged by relying on telecommunications companies to analyze phone calls of the associates of Americans who had come under suspicion, according to newly obtained bureau records. The documents indicate that the Federal Bureau of Investigation used secret demands for records to obtain data not only on individuals it saw as targets but also details on their "community of interest" - the network of people the target in turn was in contact with. The bureau stopped the practice early this year in part because of broader questions raised about its aggressive use of ...

The Roman road system is immense - more than 370 separate highways stretching some 53,000 miles all told, about the ...
Exclusive excerpt from The Shock Doctrine

In Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, she argues that an idea that began with Chicago School economist Milton Friedman has determined much of the course of recent history – that a time of crisis, whether a war or a hurricane, offers a strategic opportunity to overwrite the resulting “blank slate” with market privatization and corporatism. Ms. Klein traces the application of such “shock treatment” to Chile in the 1970s, Russia in the 1990s and elsewhere. She argues that “disaster capitalism” has exploited Sept. 11, Hurricane Katrina and Iraq. In this section, she considers the aftermath of George W. Bush's ...

We cannot say that about the government. It looks increasingly hypocritical when the government insists that it must break the law in order to save us. It's become the government's mantra that it cannot protect us unless it breaks the law at will, without oversight, and without our knowledge or consent. It's been openly stated that unless our basic rights are fully yielded to the government, further terrorist attacks will come, and because of our failure to yield what literally defines us, ...

The New Inquisition
Post Date: 2007-09-08 15:52:04 by robin

At the pinnacle of influence the Roman Catholic Church initiated the Inquisition to solidify its power: to steal property and wealth, while eliminating a number of its potential 'enemies.' To do this the 'church' created a climate of terror and suspicion that culminated in institutionalized barbarity, administered in SECRET. Their primary weapons were fear, torture, and an absolute political supremacy that their captive populations could not initially challenge. This also describes the Decider's policies today, as these crimes have been carried out in Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and dozens of black-sites where renditions and torture have been conducted-right in front of the ...
