If the time is set aside for everyone to pray or not pray as they choose, and does not substantially interfere with other students or damage the orderly conduct of business, it has a chance. A school official saying "let us pray" pretty much crosses the line. But a school official announcing, "it's reflection time" might just work.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-1562037145779210902012-08-08T00:53:09.127-04:002012-08-08T00:53:09.127-04:00Indi: It sounded like you were suggesting legal a...Indi: It sounded like you were suggesting legal action in the first comment. I misread that. If you're talking about political action, I'm all for it. It would take a lot of work, and would skate close to hacking and violation of law, but it's a risk well worth taking. We have to expose the scandal-ridden, ethically lacking Obama administration and all its high crimes and misdemeanors. On top of that, the scandals of this administration are real and evidentiary. The ones they're throwing at the Republicans are manufactured nonsense. That's what Republicans should be emphasizing. When the Democrats lie, call it a lie, not a misstatement, then back it up with easy-to-understand facts.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-71248759483209128142012-08-08T00:36:44.440-04:002012-08-08T00:36:44.440-04:00LawHawk, McCaskill is stick-a-fork-in-her done.

I'm not overly worried with that race, though I will continue to watch it intently.<br /><br />I don't have the text of the amendment in front of me, but if I remember correctly, it doesn't say anything about obligations on the schools' part, it just affirms that students have the right to pray in school. It may not survive contact with the courts, but given that it passed by something like a six-to-one margin, it at least sends a very strong message, which was probably the intent anyway.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-14865749477034902352012-08-08T00:25:14.416-04:002012-08-08T00:25:14.416-04:00Lawhawk

What this would do is expose the people that set this up behind the scenes. I am sure that this was done for these reasons. Communication is no longer private when it is through text, email or the web. It is possible that evidence of this can be iuncovered.<br /><br />I know it is a long shot but our side needs to get aggressive. We have got to get this information and expose the people who are benhind it and bring them up on felony charges and if we can't then at least try them in the media. Until the progs get that they will not have carte blanche to do this they will continue to do this.Individualisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005025873042230314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-52899286888442892082012-08-08T00:19:07.568-04:002012-08-08T00:19:07.568-04:00Indi: I'm sure that's exactly what we wou...Indi: I'm sure that's exactly what we would find. But that's a moot point now. The plaintiff would be Gibson, and they already agreed to the civil compromise. That only leaves complicated and convoluted legal issues and some ethical issues. Congress would be the only one with any standing to pursue it, and you've seen how long Holder can stall and manipulate. Fast & Furious was a much clearer issue and it has been hanging around for a couple of years now.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-53990460480606098792012-08-08T00:14:43.462-04:002012-08-08T00:14:43.462-04:00T-Rav: What I've seen has indicated that Mcca...T-Rav: What I've seen has indicated that Mccaskill is in trouble. Does that sound right?<br /><br />How long do you estimate it will take for the ACLU, Americans for Separation of Church and State, The Freedom from Religion Foundation and the DOJ to file suit to prevent the prayer in school measure from going into effect? It has essentially been banned from schools and public facilities since the Warren Court.<br /><br />Is it one of those statutes that allow for "a moment of prayer and reflection" or does it authorize the schools to participate directly in the prayer?LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-60494131911143079992012-08-07T23:47:38.668-04:002012-08-07T23:47:38.668-04:00You know it might do our side some good to hack em...You know it might do our side some good to hack emails from various DCCC individuals to try to find out if there is any plan to take out Gibson among the Poilitical class. <br /><br />I beet if someone were to link these emails you would find evidnece that this investigation was planned for purely political reasons.Individualisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005025873042230314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-4355443466772265222012-08-07T23:32:35.847-04:002012-08-07T23:32:35.847-04:00OT update on Show-Me State politics: One of our co...OT update on Show-Me State politics: One of our congressmen, Todd Akin, won tonight's GOP primary for the Senate and will be facing the hacktastic Claire McCaskill in November.

Same sex couples across the nation will be “kissing” in front of mosques in an effort to silence the “hate-speech” and “homosexual genocide” practiced by Muslims worldwide."

Well, I do have to admit that one company gave my wife and me a week at a fine hotel in Palm Springs, all expenses paid (except for booze at the bar). They went broke shortly thereafter. LOL<br /><br />Don't let them fool you. Law school just isn't that tough, and even though the toughest Bar Exams are extremely difficult, most of the pressure on the candidates is self-imposed.<br /><br />My son dragged me in as an adviser to his mock trial extracurricular activity in high school. The first year, they finished second in the regional finals, and the next year they finished second in the state. He was the "lead prosecutor" the first year and the "lead defense attorney" the second year. He would have made an excellent lawyer (and law school would have been a breeze for him), but his heart wasn't in it. He was fascinated with computers from the day when he was eleven and I gave him his first computer (a Commodore 64). I didn't know from computers, and I thought they were glorified adding machines. I didn't even buy him a monitor (what's a monitor?). The next time I saw him at his mom's place after our divorce, he had wired the computer up to the TV in his room and was writing code. I still think what he does is black magic.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-5609603196694730502012-08-07T21:34:58.028-04:002012-08-07T21:34:58.028-04:00I wasn't ragging on anything!
