Supreme Ct Standing Effects Part II

Democrat in Highland Park, IL — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:46:59 EDT

GET THE FACTS BEHIND THE NEWS Often led by Justice Antonin Scalia the Supreme Court has limited access to the Courts on a wide range of issues. Restrictive "standing" has tended to harm liberal public-interests and lenient "standing" to help them.

The three essential requirements for standing are; an actual injury, proof that the injury was due to something the defendant did or failed to do, and proof that the injury would be redressed if the defendant did as the plaintiff
asked.

Of interest, large majorities of Justices have denied or limited access to businesses in cases where they fear the free interplay of the market could be effected.

During the o7-08 term the Court voted to protect some business practices from anti-trust suits, require greater evidence of collusion to allow cases to proceed, immunize Wall Street banks and brokers from anti-trust suits relating to activities regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission,require plaintiffs to state allegations in greater detail. These decisions all set out rules that will bar some future claims from being heard.

The conservative Court is more friendly to business and gov't and less friendly to individual rights than the liberal courts.

Two cases of interest. The Court ruled that the Freedom from Religion Foundation had no standing to sue over the executive promotion of faith based initiatives because the money came from executive discretionary funds not a congressional appropriation. Citizens can not file suits alleging that the government is spending money illegally, except for suits based on the Constitution's Establishment clause, first amendment, the basis for separation of church and state.

Chief Justice Roberts has been very much against law suits contesting environmental rulings. Environment is one area, voter ID is another where conservatives rejected the idea of assessing statues as soon as they are passed. The conservatives want to have a clear idea of the nature and effect in the real world. In the voter ID case the lawyer for the people bringing suit pointed out that waiting may influence the outcome of an election. The voter ID requirement was upheld even though there was no evidence of voter fraud,

Amazing... Instead of celebrating our freedoms.. some people spent their time thwarting our free speech...

If you want healthcare show it.
Pull out your buttons!
Put up your signs!
When people ask... tell them why.
USE YOUR VOICE TO STOP THE MADDNESS!
VISIBLE SUPPORT!
peace,

Palins' Resignation an example?

A. Matthew Harris — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 07:54:44 EDT

July 26th, 2009 Governor Sarah Palin will step away from politics by resigning from the post of Governor of Alaska and leave the post to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell (R); a move that is sure to shake up the GOP. Governor Palin has been criticized and an item of ridicule ever since she stepped on the national stage during the Race for 2008. Since the election of President Barack Obama; Palin has seemingly neglected her responsibilities as the governor of Alaska and her duty to its' residents. In her press conference today she stated, "I cannot stand here as your governor and allow the millions of dollars and all that time go to waste just so I can hold the title of governor." To the people of Alaska: you will once again be your state leaderships' number one priority, instead of taking a backseat to a power-hungry politicians own agenda. If this isn't a true resignation but just an attempt at reloading for the 2012 presidential election; I have just one thing to say, think again. Seeing that you cannot perform your duties or finish your term as the governor of Alaska, what would make you think that the American voters would trust you with the well-being of our country. Lastly, thank you for setting a precedent for Governor Mark Sanford to follow...now sir will you please step down as well? You would be doing your state a world of good.
