  • Professional Journalism

    I know you are professional journalists. A profession is a fancy Latin term for the way you express your belief in the one true God as you understand him. Mr. Webster describes profession as the act of taking the vows of a religious community, or: an act of openly declaring or publicly claiming a belief or faith: an avowed religious faith a: a ...

  • What the dems need to be talking about

    Mr. McCain says the reason he is running negative and false ads is that he did not get the debates he wants and the trip to Iraq with Senator Obama that he wants. That puts him in the same group with 2 year olds. Do you want a two year old to be president? It also says this is the way he is going to be with congress if he does get elected. That ...

  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Father Rights Trampled On.....

    My husband was married very young, straight out of the Army, to a woman who is from Illinois. They struggled with the realities of marriage and divorced within 2 years, creating two of the most delightful children, ever. The divorce was long, drawn out and eclipsed the length of their marriage. The divorce was also of my husbands own will, ...

  • A Refreshing Change of Events

    I find it oddly comforting that regardless of any manipulation in the press, when confronted with this latest salacious story, by and large the public says ''meh''. When pressured to join the tarring they fight back. When it comes to reasoned debate, the voices of restrain (in my limited experience) win. More encouraging is the growing ...

  • Referree Sentencing

    Let's substitute the word ''gambling'' for ''cocaine,'' or ''sex with minors,'' or ''heroine,'' or ''meth'' and make the defendant a 23-year old Latino male and lets see how the judge calculates the sentence. This reader expects that rather than have a sentence divided by 1/2, the guilty party would more likely get it doubled. I LOVE America but ...

  • Government abuse of power

    South Dakotas law relating to doctor patient communication and abortion: This is just another method for people using and abusing government power. They attempt to control others and legislate morality by forcing their beliefs (usually based on their religion) upon all of society. Their goal is to limit freedom and force conformity with their ...

  • Not quite correct

    It seems that ''Telling Doctors What to Think'' is somewhat misleading about exactly what the 8th circuit did. From my reading of the ruling the 8th circuit vacated a preliminary injunction against the law, but that Planned Parenthood's case against the law will continue in the lower court. This means that while the law will go into effect, ...

  • Re: Who searches for watermelon?

    The Watermelon argument is both clever and amusing. But it also only considers one perspective. So frequency doesn't work? Fair enough, but that is not all the data we are capable of gathering. And, when you are going to punish someone in a court of law for something, it needs to be a crime. It seems to me that whether or not the defendant is ...

  • Swinging with Passion Makes for Bad Case Law

    Justice Anthony Kennedy is a passionate man. He was a passionate judge and now je is a passionate Justice. But while one may want zealousness in one’s representation in the legal arena, passion in deciding law is dangerous, if not outright foolishness. Passions are swayed. Passions are fired up. Passions are capricious. On April 18, 2007, Ms. ...
