how can i approach this question: A man at a busy airport, slips on a banana peel trying to catch his flight. He sues the airport. Airport moves for summary judgement saying there's no evidence. I'm asked to write a memo to the judge explaining why under Illinois law, (were this hypothetically happened) she should grant or dismiss the motion for summary judgement. How can I approach this?

I'm glad the University actually finally stepped up, freedom of speech is one thing but people have to think when they talk, and can't slander peole or use hate speech, those aren't covered and to use them and claim freedom of speech is rediculous. It's scary how many claim freedom of speech but don't know that there are limitations to freedom of speech such as hate speech.

I don't know anyone with an ounce of intelligence that can defend some of his extremist thinking, and if they do maybe they should take a look at themselved and ask themselves have they gone too far. He now is going to court, he made a stupid statement, actually several over a period of time and needs to man up and just admit it and move on, instead of wasting the Colorado tax payers money on a court date. He has already wasted their money by giving kids propaganda instead of an education.

here is the article about his being fire the university.

Earlier I asked the Real Estate community if they felt it necessary for me when selling, to disclose the fact that I had plumbing problems in my condo since it was built (2003) even though the builder had repaired them last July (2006) and I have not had a problem since. I was overwhelmingly encouraged to disclose with information regarding the corrections. I agree after reading the responses that I should disclose. However, the builder contracted the repairs at their expense as it was considered a warranty and they never gave me any paperwork detailing the nature of the repairs. Is there a law that says they must provide this info or some way that I can insist on getting documented evidence of the repairs? I want to have something in writing that outlines the corrections to present to a potential buyer otherwise I fear I will never be able to sell. If anyone has any suggestions for how I might go about getting such info from the builder without hassle, please advise. Thanks!

I am a Texas resident myself, I love it here, probably wouldn't live anywhere else in this country, but I'm getting pretty sick of the religious right. Do you think that Texas will ever join the modern school of thought, or always be about the moral majority? Serious answers, please.

Reasons:
1. Illegal wire taping
2. illegal detainment of US citizens without proper and timely due process.
3. lying for the lead up to the war.

I am sure that we can think of many other things, but the reasons listed are my concerns.

The MOVEMENTS TO IMPEACH SEEM TO FALL SHORT OF GOALS:
1. Dennis Kucinnich introduced articles and it was ignored.
2. John Conyors, Barbara Boxer, Republican Chuck Hagel explored these issues publically.
3. Seven states considered resolutions and Vermont passed a resolution but all have fallen short of gaining serious national attention.

Zogby poll says that 53% of Americans will support impeachment. (This includes dems and conservs).

Now that it is election time Bush's own party has parted ways with him b/c he hasn't given them a good record to run on!

(( This president seems to be above the law and above criticism!))

QUESTION TO YOU??
When are we going to be about the business of doing this and stop giving this lip service???

Can someone tell me what this actually means: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/20070717-3.html

That's from the White House's website and other websites/blogs are reading it to mean that it's in a sense 'illegal to protest the war'.

Can someone read through that legalese and tell me exactly or at least what they think it means? Because I read it and still have no idea what it's actually saying.

Thanks in advance.

Remember lacy peterson, or the lady a few weeks back that was killed by her boyfriend cop? A pregnant woman get's killed and it is charged as a double murder, yet if the same woman were to have an abortion then everything would be ok? I'm not arguing prolife/ prochoice!! I want to know your thoughts on the real or perceived hypocracy. If you didn't want it killed then it is murder but if you do want it killed then it's an abortion? Who makes that call? It's not a life if the woman decideds to terminate the pregnancy, but if someone terminates the pregnancy then it is murder? Let's say a pregnant woman was on the way to an abortion clinic and is killed on the way...is that a double murder. Pregnant drug addicts whose babies die because of drugs can be charged with murder. This makes no sense to me. I'm not defending murder here nor do I care about your opinions on whether or not we should have abortion. I'm only wondering if anyone else see's the hypocracy here...your thoughts....
