Law & Ethics - March 2007

my husband has been out since January on FMLA leave, he has been approved for intermintant leave and he takes his leave when he has to adjust to a new medication level, he is bipolar. Anyways the first day that he took FMLA and knew that he was approved his supervisior said no he needed to come in anyways because they didnt physically have the paperwork although they had been contacted by HR. He took off anyways and HR reemed the supervisior for attempting to deny his FMLA. When he went back to work they gave him a repremand, and since then have attepmted to write him up when he complains, and have initiated 3 different investigations against him which never state what he actually did wrong. The most recent letter of investigation was given to him because he requested an investigation be done on another employee who came into the office he was working at screaming and threatening him. This girl is the bosses pet, what do we do if he files a complaint he will be written up again.

I said to someone at the bar they looked gay and he got mad why? I was only trying to say he looked happy. He was dancing infront of this girl and I stepped up to him and told him how gay he looked. I also told the girl that he was really gay. Why then did he get all upset?

Yesterday, this guy in the vendor booth talked to me in the Mall, and he wanted to see my identification. I was like okay, and I handed him my ID card... He typed my info on the cpu... Then I was like, I'm not interested in having a payment plan right now, and he was like "Okay, that's cool." Then I realized I was so stupid to give him my Military SSN, so I went back to tell him to not reveal any info to anyone else or sell my SSN to anyone... He was like "Don't worry, we follow the terms...yadda yadda."

A month later I recieved a Bill of $30,000 worth of crap... I was like ****! I'm mad, and I really don't know what to do right now, I don't have an attorney yet... Is there another way? I can't think of a way to get rid of this, I'm in debt right now.

I tried finding the guy in the Mall, but his co-workers said he's on vacation and took a trip to Hawaii. They couldn't even tell me his first and last name because it's confidential. **** them... Don't ever trust T-Mobile.

When you claim finacial difficulty does the court listen? I thought i could spare 1 day and take a 85% pay cut thinking i got paid 5 bucks/hr for jury duty. Maybe learn something interesting; however, for 12 bucks a day - they can kiss my ***. WTF are they thinking trying to pay someone 12 a day. When lawyers ask you questions like are you an honest person, or can you decide between right and wrong - and you say no, can u get in trouble for this? Is there an alternative swear in for non-believers?

In your judgement, at what age should a person be able to get their license?

Anyone out there have some interesting experiences behind the wheel? I believe 18 is the proper age, by that time most students are in college.

What do you think a person should undergo to get their license?

I am a college student who works in a local restaurant. Recently, I was in an argument with a manager who told me that I didn't deserve a break after five hours of work. Since this altercation my work hours have went from 25+ per week to just now 4 hours. I have been removed from weekends and co-workers who ask off are not allowed to have me work for them. When they ask the manager, she replied "I cant let you switch with her and I can't tell you the reason why." I was told by a friend that this was illegal for hours to be cut for punishment reasons. This seems to be an on going trend at this restaurant. Please Help!

The oaths that the President and Vice President take binds them to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." The failure to do so forms a sound basis for articles of impeachment.

The President and Vice President have failed to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution" in the following ways:

1. They have manipulated intelligence and misled the country to justify an immoral, unjust, and unnecessary preemptive war in Iraq.

2. They have directed the government to engage in domestic spying without warrants, in direct contravention of U.S. law.

3. They have conspired to commit the torture of prisoners, in violation of the Federal Torture Act and the Geneva Convention.

4. They have ordered the indefinite detention without legal counsel, without charges and without the opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention -- all in violation of U.S. law and the Bill of Rights.

When strong evidence exists of the most serious crimes, we must use impeachment -- or lose the ability of the legislative branch to compel the executive branch to obey the law.

So a cop came up to my car because I was pulled over talking to someone on the road. He got all the information he needed from me and then brought it back. He didn't give a a ticket or warning for anything. He arrested the person I was talking to. I quess for public intoxication. He took the ID's of the two other people in the car. He knew one the of people and gave his back. But he took the other one and ran it thru the system. He brought it back and said that I could have been arrested because the person in the back had a open bottle of wine in the backseat with him. Then he said the only reason why he didn't arrest me was because I seemed to be sober. Ok I understand it would have been different if I had been drinking but I wasn't. I was driving two drunk people home.
