... will continue. “I want to make sure that the Sports Facilities Authority is never questioned again,” Rep. Sarah Anderson (R), Chair of the Government Operations Committee, said. “Whether it is year one that we are talking about, or year 10 — we want to make sure the structure is in place to protect the people’s stadium.”. Blatz was the first woman in state history to serve as chief justice on the Minnesota Supreme Court. She is also the widow of former Vikings co-owner Wheelock Whitney Jr. At a news conference Thursday, she acknowledged that regaining the public’s trust in the Authority was crucial, especially ahead of the Super Bowl next year. “I’m very well aware of some of the erosion in the public trust and confidence in the Authority, but maybe it’s my judge training, I can hold two pieces of evidence in my head, you have to when you’re in court,” Blatz said. “I’m very well aware of how important the public trust and confidence is in the Authority. We have this fantastic facility, this new stadium. I think it’s second to none in this country ”. Blatz will not be paid for her work for the Authority. She said that she was ...

After Arrest, De Lima To Seek Relief From Supreme Court

... motion to reset Friday's hearing on the motion to quash. The prosecution wanted a continuance for March 3, but the judge reset the hearing to March 10 to give the prosecution 10 days to comment on the motion to quash, and another ten days for the defense to reply to the comment of the prosecution. Tacardon said there was no corpus delicti or clear basis for the case based on the information filed in the case in Branch 205, filed by the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption, represented by Atty. Ferdie Topacio. The Branch 205 case was meanwhile based on the testimony of Peter Co. Tacardon explained they are questioning the jurisdiction of branches 204 and 206, while for the case before Branch 205, they sought judicial determination of probable cause.

Transgender Teen To Press Supreme Court Case Despite Trump Administration Guidance

... Attorney General Maura Healey said in a statement that "the Trump Administration's decision to reverse the federal government's position on important protections for transgender students will subject vulnerable young people to harassment and intimidation," but said the state already has legal protections in place for transgender people. "We remain committed to ensuring that transgender students and families are treated with fairness and dignity," Healey said. Fifteen states have explicit protections for transgender students, according to the Human Rights Campaign , a gay rights group; lawmakers in several other states are working to restrict bathroom access for transgender students. The American Civil Liberties Union, which tracks the legislation, said legislators in 14 states filed 20 bills that could lead to restroom restrictions for transgender people, with some proposing that states penalize schools that violate those restrictions. So far, five of those bills have failed. The change in policy will affect a number of pending court ...

Meet The Stylish Supreme Model Who Had Nothing To Do With That Frank Ocean Song

... do you feel about how skate style has recently become so popular in fashion. I just think it's corny. It just looks dumb, but it's also cool that, like, Forever 21 is making Trasher, Paradis, and Fucking Awesome tees. Like, they want to be on our shit. But I also just see so many kids dressed like Sean Pablo now. Like Dickies and Chuck Taylors, tucked in. Yeah, like that's my friend. I know him so well. That's a normal look now. And Sean looks good. If that helps kids dress better, so be it. I just thought it was funny, because it's something so simple as, like, tucking in your T-shirt. I see rappers trying it out, like A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla $ign, and thinking, "Wow, they're looking at us." But as far as fashion, it's just their inspiration. Every designer uses inspiration, whether it's Supreme, FA [Fucking Awesome], it all comes from inspiration. Is it okay to wear skate style if you don't skate. I don't give it too much attention. Let Selena Gomez wear a ...

Why Supreme Court Justices Cut A Deal They Did Not Want

... of four justices to the Supreme Court with a simple majority of the committee, five of nine members – even if all of the justices on the panel, three of nine members, opposed the candidates. Apparently, Naor was convinced that Shaked was ready to follow through on the threat and that the court no longer has a real champion in the government coalition who would fight for it. So she cut a deal where she got some things she wanted and blocked some worst case scenarios. It should be kept in mind that only one of the four new justices, West Bank resident Jerusalem District Court Judge David Mintz, has a clear reputation on some constitutional issues as a conservative. Two of the other new justices, Haifa District Court President Yosef Elron and Haifa District Court Judge Yael Willner, are seen as more likely than not to go conservative and were initially objected to by Naor, but they have not actually ruled on ...

With New Clout At State Capitol, Republicans Hold Up Re-appointment Of Supreme Court Justice

... do that?". "We just felt the dissent in La Pointe was unfair and really accused us of engaging in conduct that is improper for judges," Palmer said. Palmer said the footnote was meant to defend the court from what the majority believed to be a scurrilous attack. But he said sharp language is something of a tradition in appellate decisions and is far more pronounced at the U. S. Supreme Court, where justices who attack one another in writing have been close friends. Palmer denied that there is hostility among Connecticut justices. He said he circulates his opinions among colleagues prior to publication with a standing offer to remove offensive language. Sen. John A. Kissel , an Enfield Republican, complained that the sniping erodes public confidence in the court. "I have heard on good authority from very good sources that it is a chilly atmosphere across the street, that people don't talk to one another," Kissel said, referring to Supreme Court chambers across Capitol Avenue from ...

Virginia Supreme Court Should Protect Drivers From License Plate Surveillance

... to protect the state's residents from a police surveillance database created with automated license plate readers ( ALPRs ). We've been following law enforcement use of ALPR technology a long time, because the information that these readers collect can reveal sensitive details about our lives. Police departments that use ALPRs mount them on patrol cars or on stationary objects and leave them on all the time, meaning that the police can learn where we are and when, whether it’s at our house of worship, our doctor’s office, or a political meeting, and the police can track this data over time. Harrison Neal, a resident of Fairfax County in Virginia, was concerned by these ongoing privacy violations. Fairfax County Police Department uses ALPRs that read every license plate that goes by, and stores the records for up to a year. Mr. Neal’s ...

How Supreme Court Just Made Things Easier For Patent Infringers

... Court made it easier on Wednesday for U. S. manufacturers to infringe patents held by competitors by manufacturing all but one of the infringing components abroad. The practical consequences could be significant, as could the court’s apparent view that the key U. S. appeals court for patent cases has been too sympathetic to patent holders. The case, Life Technologies Corp. v. Promega, arose from a conflict over a toolkit for genetic testing used by law-enforcement. Promega Corp., a Wisconsin-based biotech company, held the exclusive license to a patent for the toolkit, and sublicensed the manufacture to Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.’s Life Technologies unit. In turn, Life Technologies made four of the five components of the kits in the U. K., and a single component, called the Taq polymerase, in the U. S. It shipped the Taq polymerase to the U. K. to be combined with the other components and then sold. Promega sued Life Technologies for infringing its patent by selling the kits for clinical and research uses that went beyond the law-enforcement license. Life ...

Girl, 13, Wins Supreme Court Case Regarding Service Dog

... their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. School officials had argued that administrative remedies are an easier and less costly way to resolve educational disputes. Writing for the court, Justice Elena Kagan said exhausting the administrative process is not always required in such cases. But she said further fact-finding is needed to decide whether Fry can pursue her case in court. Lower courts had ruled against Fry, saying she first had to try informally resolving her dispute with the school district. “We’re thrilled that the Supreme Court has torn down unfair barriers faced by students who seek to vindicate their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act,” said Michael Steinberg, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Michigan. The ACLU ...

Trump's Transgender Move Puts Spotlight On Supreme Court Case

... lawyers made similar comments in their most recent court filing, saying that the meaning of the federal law is "plain and may be resolved as a matter of straightforward interpretation.". But the court could take a more cautious approach and send the case back to the Richmond, Virginia-based 4 th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. That court's April 2016 ruling in favor of Grimm relied on the Obama administration's interpretation of the law. Kyle Duncan, a lawyer representing the school board, said the court must at a minimum throw out the appeals court decision because "the entire basis for that opinion" was the no-longer extant Obama administration interpretation. JUSTICE KENNEDY: PIVOTAL VOTE. With the eight-justice court likely to be closely divided, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, conservative appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch, could end up casting the deciding vote if he is confirmed by the U. S. Senate in time. Otherwise, the court, which is divided equally between liberals and conservatives, could split 4-4, which would set no nationwide legal precedent. Clues as to how the high court could rule can be gleaned from its decision last August to temporarily block the ...
