		<description>When the Congress-Dems revealed the law cutting ACORN off from gov funding, it was all the buzz in the media that the legislation would be overturned in court as it was mere window dressing to satisfy the anti-ACORN sentiments of their constituents; but given the undeniable documentation of ACORN&#039;s wrong doing and the level of controversy surrounding ACORN&#039;s apparent business practices, I don&#039;t think it will be a slam-dunk matter for them to prove a case of an attainder violation and have the funding restored.&lt;blockquote&gt;Every election year...stories about &lt;strong&gt;churches&lt;/strong&gt; engaging in impermissible activities with respect to campaigns...commercials from outside groups from both sides that are supposed to be &lt;strong&gt;issue ads&lt;/strong&gt;.....&lt;/blockquote&gt;And nearly all of them composed of out of context quotes from Lefty-agitators looking to start somethin&#039;. These accusers should give video like the Reverend Wright tapes to make a case of electioneering violations; otherwise, like many of the ads, it&#039;s a matter of subjective interpretation.</description>

		<description>dodomayor issues first opinion...uses the term &quot;undocumented workers&quot;/&quot;undocumented aliens&quot; rather than the &quot;illegal workers/illegal aliens used in previous case law...go figure....a wise latina setting precedence eh?

http://scotuswiki.com/index.php?title=Mohawk_Industries%2C_Inc._v._Carpenter

&lt;blockquote&gt;On December 8, the Court issued its opinion—the first authored by Justice Sotomayor—in Mohawk Industries, Inc. v. Carpenter. Resolving a split among the courts of appeals, the Court held that an order requiring the disclosure of information protected (arguably) by the attorney–client privilege is not immediately appealable under the collateral order doctrine. The collateral order doctrine, progeny of the Court’s ruling in Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., allows for the immediate appellate review of an order that fulfills three criteria: first, the order must conclusively determine the disputed question; second, it must resolve an important issue completely separate from the merits of the case; and third, the order must be effectively unreviewable, were a party to wait for the final judgment in a case. Concluding, as did the Eleventh Circuit, that an order requiring the disclosure of allegedly privileged information can manageably be reviewed on appeal from a final judgment, the Court held that the collateral order doctrine does not allow the immediate appeal of such an order.

The facts of the case are straightforward. Mohawk was born of two separate lawsuits. In one, a group of employees sued Mohawk Industries over an alleged conspiracy to drive down their wages by knowingly hiring lower-paid undocumented workers. Without knowledge of that lawsuit, Carpenter allegedly complained to Mohawk’s human resources department about the company’s employment of undocumented aliens.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

I do remember seeing a class photo of him from Harvard where he was the editor of the Law Review. And Michelle did a lot of bitter carping during the campaign about paying off their student loans. All the white kids had trust funds, she said.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;A cross to bear, I know.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Imagine both parents, all of your siblings, all of your aunts and uncles and nephews and nieces and cousins and all of their spouses were Carter, Clinton, Obama cheering leftists who thought and still think Ronald Reagan was one of our worst Presidents.

Welcome to my world.

And in the 20+ years since I figured out they were all nuts and they&#039;ve been trying relentlessly to bring me back into the fold, I haven&#039;t managed to move even one of them one iota away from their world views.

You have to teach the children. Nothing else works.</description>
