I am defending myself against a summary judgement in california. I think what i have to defend myself against is the issue of "triable issues of material fact". What is recent case law regarding this. How can i show that there are triable issues, ie where the court has found against summary judgement. I am in Marin County superior court

Two months after my ex left me, I had a car accident from which I recieved 7,000+ from the insurance for replacement of a vehical, my ex kept comming over and refused to leave me and my family alone ( he had pulled a gun on me prior to this, and there was a EPO). He said if I didn't promisse to give him $500.00 out of my money he would spread lies about me, and hurt me and my family, even threatened to burn the house down and kill my dog. So I signed a paper saying I would, as long as he didn't hurt me, myfamily, our home ,and my dog. In the divorce he was ordered to pay some doctors bill of mine$50.00, now he refuses to pay them until I pay him the $500.00. What should I do, is it blackmail?

There are high crimes all over the USA. 43 million people do not have health insurance. Look at places like Detroit and New Orleans. No tax base and crime all over the area. Here in Michigan the roads are terrible. ( Too poor to fix them) Many people freeze to death in their homes due to being poor in the winter. If one gets into trouble with the law and you have no money then you go to prison. If one has a lot of money then one can buy justice. Yea!! What a great country.

Republicans just voted down a proposed minimum wage increase. There hasn't been a raise in the mimimum wage since 1997.

But last week the house of representatives voted to give themselves a pay raise, as they have done nearly every year since 1997.

Why do republicans complain constantly about having to spend money on the poor but won't vote to give them a decent wage?

How many $5.15/hr jobs does it take to feed a family?

I had a big bad Marine get mad at me today at the Big Boy Restaurant just because I said the Iraq war will go down in defeat like Vietnam. He jumped up and his chest went out and he started to yell at me so I pulled out my A.C.L.U. Card and the horrified pitiful look on the Marines's face was astounding. He then started to shake like a leaf and his face turned white. ( Amazing since he is a Black Man ) So how come people are scared of me just because I belong to the A.C.L.U.?

i have heard a lot of people on here talk about the immigration laws and my question is: there are illegals of every nationality here in the u.s. so why is most of the discussions directed towards hispanic people?

how much value does your property have right now? not much. how much value would your property have with NO illegals next door, junking up the neighborhood, with their bright pink and blue houses?
your property value will skyrocket. that's what would happen. it definately COULDN'T go down, unless illegals move in next to you. fifty kids per household, three cars in the driveway, none of them run, sofas outside in the lawn, and thousands and thousands of cheap garage sale lawn ornaments.

Our chats do not accomplish a thing or change anyone's mind, or change anyone's point of view. Some people are nasty, some are reasonable, some are right, some are wrong. Some just more so than others. If we put this same energy into something really productive or helpful to the US or to mankind, we might accomplish something.

they would have to agree to repay all those they have victimized (identity theft, car accidents they were uninsured for, ect), as well as repay hospitials and doctors for services received...and pay their share of public taxes for use of schools, fire departments, police departments...you get the drift....How much, beyond restitution, would be fair in order for them to be allowed to stay?

gym wanted to add 3mos on the end of contract to make up for the 3 mos.where no action was taken on their part .they wanted to change the dates on the contract and start over like it never happened.we opted to sign a new contract and then exercised the 3 day cancellation clause. We cancelled the auto pay through the bank after they took money for payment electronically after they had received the cancellation by certified mail within the specified time. They are now calling saying we still have a contract with them based on the first contract that was signed and had not been put in their system. Would the first contract still be valid or would the non-action on that contract make in null and void. Or would the signing of the new contract void the first one? Any help would be appreciated. They continue to call and harrass us.

This Question is a follow up to my previous question on Abortion:

By the woman's body, woman's choice argument. Should men have the option to pay a one time fee for getting a woman pregnant that is equal to, but not exceeding the cost for an abortion. If they are not given that option or the money is not used for an abortion then the men should be exonorated of any support needed for that child.

Likewise if a man wants to be a father should he be able to get a court order to prevent an abortion?
