A Philadelphia doctor, licensed to prescribe medical marijuana was denied the right to purchase a handgun because he is a medical marijuana user himself. “Although Roman has “no other record of violence, criminal activity, or mental disorder,” according to the suit, when he went to purchase the handgun, a clerk informed him that his status as a medical … Read more
A group of women plans to sue flailing Democrat US Senator Heidi Heitkamp. Heitkamp’s camp released the names of women who were victims of sexual assault for some gosh-darn reason and more than a few of them never gave their consent or were never victims, to begin with. Explain that to anyone who saw those names. … Read more
Back on April 1st, we reported on a ruling by a Judge in Los Angeles. A non-profit had sued 90 coffee companies claiming they had violated Prop 65 which required them to warn customers about a chemical in brewed coffee (acrylamide) that could lead to cancer.
Two months along and something has changed.
Lawrence Schonbrun joins me to discuss Class Action Lawsuit abuse in the form of massive payouts to law firms at the expense of those they claim were “injured.”
“the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety), by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” – H.L. Mencken
One of our resident NH Education Gurus, Jorge Mesa-Tejada, explains why a lawsuit filed by two towns against their School administrative Unit was doomed from the start; and it had nothing to do with the merit of the case they brought (and the taxpayers still have options…)
Six members of Free Keene have been wandering the city with pockets full of change, looking for expired parking meters to feed. When they find one they drop in some coins and leave a calling card.
Members of the group place cards under windshield wipers that read, “Your meter expired; however, we saved you from the king’s tariffs, Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Please consider paying it forward,” and includes an address where donations can be sent.
But the city claims that the video-camera wielding do-gooders are taunting and intimidating the cities parking enforcement staff so they have filed a lawsuit against the merry band of meter feeders.
“Manchester says that loss would “cause irreparable harm to all students attending school in Manchester, as it equates to losing between 10 to 15 full-time teachers in the district.” So, 60 students required 10-15 full time teachers? What am I missing here?
SOMEBODY has to be responsible, right? NY Daily News:
A lawyer who’s asking to sue Connecticut for $100 million on behalf of a 6-year-old Newtown school shooting survivor who heard violence over the school’s intercom system says the potential claim is about improving school security, not money.
“It’s about living in a world that’s safe,” New Haven attorney Irving Pinsky told The Associated Press on Saturday. “The answer is about protecting the kids.”
…The child heard “conversations, gunfire and screaming” over Sandy Hook’s intercom after someone in the office apparently switched on the system, according to the claim. Pinsky said Saturday he didn’t know whether his client saw anyone die.
The state Board of Education, Department of Education and state education commissioner failed to protect the child “from foreseeable harm,” including by failing to provide a safe school setting, the filing said.
And this is the problem with both our legal system AND in the fantasy land that Progressives and Liberals live in – note to the not-able-to-think-things-thru clueless “thinkers” and Utopians, there is not such thing that exists that is “living in a world that’s safe“. Never has been in history and never will be either. However, in this modern world where so many are truly disconnected of the reality of real life when the veneer of civilization is removed (re: look at how tough life really is for those in third world countries without our “advanced accommodations”). There is true evil in the world that no planning and no drilling can account for. What we saw in Connecticut was that true evil in full view – yet the Progressives wish to either pass over that gruesome fact at best and ignore it at worst. After all, we can’t have a Utopia without “progressed” people (either on their own or “nudged” (usually by force) into it by Government) can we, and EVIL people just so screw up that narrative of what is possible. Thus, the anger over guns – which services two purposes – hides the fact that the Progressive Utopia can never be achieved (and is unable to sustain it self to boot) and serves to disarm folks (making it harder for opposition to react and oppose such a forced march to Utopianville).
Homosexuals filing lawsuits against businesses that do not wish to cater to them, Wedding photographers and Dating Services come immediately to mind, are now legend. But is turnabout fair play? Gay bars are banning Bachelorette parties. Looks like owners of gay bars are uncomfortable hosting parties of heterosexual bachelorette’s and their randy little penis paraphernalia … Read more
While Democrat women were busy standing with planned parenthood in the NH state house last week, asking us to trust them, down in Texas a Federal Whistle-blower (who was also a woman), was getting help, preparing a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood in Texas–which has since been issued.
The lawsuit, filed by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), on behalf of former Planned Parenthood clinic director, Abby Johnson, accused Planned Parenthood of submitting over 87,000 “false, fraudulent, or ineligible claims for Medicaid reimbursements” under Title XIX, in association with the Texas Women’s Health Program.
The Medicaid claims, filed between 2007 and 2009, were valued at more than $5.7 million. The lawsuit alleges that Planned Parenthood knowingly committed Medicaid fraud by “improperly seeking reimbursements from the Texas Women’s Health Program for products and services not reimbursable by that program.”
So Texas is cutting off Planned Parenthood. And in response, the Obama Administration, in defense of a political ally, is waging war on Texas, and treating the very women they claim to be defending as acceptable casualties.
Now that DADT has passed, how long will it be before a homosexual service member caught in a sexual act with another service person who is not their legal “partner” files a lawsuit against the military,–probably prompted by some activist left wing lawyer–based on violations of the Matthew Shepard (Pentagon Funding) hate speech law?
