My class is using the 2003 case of Goodridge v. Department of Public Health to discuss the legality of same-sex marriages The basis for the ruling against same-sex marriage was the long-standing tradition of a union occurring between a man and a woman only. However, the Court did not call for the State of Massachusetts to prove that it had a viable interest in the matter (due process clause)...what basis do you think should be used in such cases?

I talked to many people before the hearing, including law professionals, who said the judge would most likely dismiss the charges. When I got to the hearing, I explained to the public defender the advice I had already received. The public defender advised me to plead no contest if I wanted it to be off of my record, so I did and was given probation.

After the fact, a lawyer friend told me that if I would have pleaded innocent I would have won. Now this plea is hanging over my head.

I know that I am not guilty of the crime I was accused of. I would rather not get into to many specifics of the case. If anybody is willing to discuss this with me via email I would appreciate it.

I'm planning on taking a medical or personal leave at work to have surgery.
I don't know IL law, but need to know if your employer has to know what kind of surgery you're getting, can they deny you a medical leave for surgery that is cosmetic, & how long of a medical leave can you have w/in a yrs time?
If you have to tell your employer the kind of surgery your getting, I'm considering asking for a personal leave instead. Do you have to tell the employer exactly what the personal problem is & how long of a personal leave can you have w/in a yrs time in IL?

Harry Reid, land shark?

L.A. Times Published January 30, 2007


If Harry Reid hadn't succeeded in politics, he could have done well in real estate. Actually, the Senate Democratic leader, who hails from Nevada, has managed both.

In 2001, he made $1.1 million on a Las Vegas transaction that got him some unwanted attention from the Senate ethics committee because he failed to report some crucial information on his financial disclosure forms. Now, we learn that he bought out a business partner in another land deal at a price that looks too good to be true and that he has sponsored legislation that would benefit that former partner.

My brother died and he left no will and had no real property. In Wisconsin We just found out that he gave beneficiary of his 401K to us the siblings. However the life insurance policy beneficiary is his ex wife. We found his divorce decree and it states that he keeps all pensions, 401, life and health insurance polices.

What should we expect? This most likely will go to probate but we don't know about the life insurance; due to the date on the policy it seems that he may have never changed it, or was that perhaps his wish?

Does the divorce decree take precedence over the actual beneficiary of said policy?

I guess it seems like a weird question, but I go to a SUNY school and found at (through my Comp Sci teacher) that, come the end of the spring semester, the school is closing down the computer labs.

I personally could have cared less, but what caught my attention was when he said they're going to outright dispose of the computers. Not recycle them, not donate them to charity/schools, they're going to throw them in the garbage (as they've aparently been doing for quite some time).

I find this outrageous for two reasons: the impact those computers will make on the environment by sitting in a dump; and the idea of just throwing away fairly new, working computers (we're talking Apple G5 towers and 2 year old Dell Optiplexes). So, I was hoping to "rescue" a few of these computers come the end of the semester.

Just one concern: what are the laws surrounding this kind of thing, taking garbage from a state entity?
