Well this is an interesting thing here and it is one that the media has not covered, (nothing unusual about that) however it is interesting to look at why they say that they dropped the charges, they allegedly said, (we do not believe the story of the accuser) so how can we expect a jury to believe her story, so are we expected to now believe that if the DA believes that someone is guilty regardless of any evidence or lack thereof, that they will continue to pursue a conviction?
Think about that for a moment.
Since when did the US justice system become a matter of beliefs regardless of evidence?
That really makes you think about the problems faced by the US system of justice it is really broken so badly that we have a district attorney that now has an opinion about beliefs?
Obviously something happened, and while it is within the discretion of the district attorney to proceed or not to proceed, how often do they proceed, when they believe that someone is guilty when they are actually innocent.
That is something that is a serious problem.
There are many legal problems that we see every day in America, a land where we have numerous military operations around the world yet we cannot find the time or the men to keep Americans living on the borders of the US safe at night.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A federal judge temporarily blocked enforcement of Alabama’s new law cracking down on illegal immigration, ruling Monday that she needed more time to decide whether the law opposed by the Obama administration, church leaders and immigrant-rights groups is constitutional.
The brief order by U.S. District Judge Sharon L. Blackburn means the law won’t take effect as scheduled on Thursday. The ruling was cheered by opponents who have compared the law to old Jim Crow-era statutes against racial integration.
Blackburn didn’t address whether the law is constitutional, and she could still let all or parts of the law take effect later. The judge said she will issue a longer ruling by Sept. 28.
Instead, she said she needs more time to consider lawsuits filed by the Justice Department, private groups and individuals that claim the state is overstepping its bounds with the law.
When the people of any nation turn away from the truth to embrace a lie what will become of that nation?
Is the judge that ruled against the constitution and the people of the state of Alabama a racist?
Is this judge doing the will of the constitution at all?
In a news story Fox news reported that this judge allegedly thinks that she has the authority to challenge the constitution?
What kind of person would do this kind of thing at all?
What kind of person would say that the constitution is not correct?
What kind of person would go against the will of the people of Alabama?
It would seem to be that there are some that might find a job would be a good thing, however that may not be the truth for everyone, the end result may be something that has to be settled in court, but why is that? When Jobs are at risk? What can we do about it?

The National Labor Relations Board just destroyed thousands of ballots.
I wish this was unexpected, but with the out-of-control Obama Labor Board, it’s exactly as we’ve feared and predicted.
As you know, the NLRB is bulldozing its way through workers’ rights and the Board’s own precedents to hand Big Labor as many new special privileges as it can before the 2012 elections.
– Plotting to eliminate thousands of Boeing jobs in Right to Work South Carolina.
– Proposing a scheme to ambush workers with union certification elections.
– Forcing its way into every workplace in the country with biased notices that serve as a roadmap to coerced unionization. The Obama Labor Board is on a war path against worker freedom. And the hits just keep on coming.
Last week, three former union lawyers on the National Labor Relations Board voted to overturn the Board’s pivotal 2007 ruling in Dana Corp.
The Foundation-won Dana case was one of the most important victories for workers’ rights at the Board in recent years, securing for employees the right to challenge union card check organizing campaigns with a secret ballot vote.
Workers often sign so-called “union authorization cards” due to union organizers’ intimidating tactics or even outright lies about what signing a card means.
In fact, many workers across the country — like the Dana Corp. workers from Albion, Indiana in this video — have used Dana elections to kick out unwanted unions, demonstrating the unreliability of card check instant organizing.
But now thousands of workers who cast secret ballots in similar elections won’t even have their votes counted. The NLRB is actually destroying the votes!
Big Labor’s Card Check Forced Unionism Bill stalled in Congress due to widespread opposition from the American public to eliminating the secret ballot — and incumbents who supported card check faced the wrath of the voters in the 2010 midterm elections.
So instead the union bosses turned to the NLRB — where Barack Obama conveniently installed former union lawyers.
Most notably, Obama installed former SEIU and AFL-CIO union lawyer Craig Becker as a recess appointee to the Board.
Becker infamously called the secret ballot “profoundly undemocratic” and in his time on the Board has repeatedly demonstrated his blatant pro-forced unionism bias and disregard for ethics.
In fact, Becker refused to recuse himself from the decision to overturn Dana even though he co-authored a brief for the AFL-CIO in the original case!
Overturning Dana on its own would be bad enough, but what makes it even more troubling is how it goes hand-in-hand with the Board’s other recent power grabs.
Take the proposed ambush elections rules, for instance.
If the rules are implemented, union operatives will be able to ambush workers with quick-snap elections just days after union organizers turn in “union authorization cards” from a mere 30 percent of the workforce.
And to make it even easier for union operatives to steamroll their way into workplaces, the Board would also force companies to hand over to union organizers the name, address, phone number, email address, and shift schedule of each employee, exposing workers to “home visits” and other intimidation tactics.
But if union bosses get wind of the possibility that they could lose the election by secret ballot, the new rules would allow them to withdraw their petition but save the personal contact information of each worker for a full-scale card check campaign at a later date.
By overturning Dana, the Obama Labor Board just eliminated the one protection remaining for workers against abusive card check campaigns.
In fact, the NLRB is making card check an even more powerful weapon against workers and job providers alike.
That’s why the National Right to Work Foundation will continue fighting back.
We’ve already blasted the decision to overturn Dana in the press, and Foundation attorneys are working on new legal challenges to card check forced unionism.
Your generous tax-deductible contributions make our legal aid and media outreach programs possible.
Card check isn’t dead yet. And the Obama Labor Board’s all-out assault on individual workers isn’t over either.
That’s why we must remain vigilant.

This is just getting out of control what is going on in America.
Are we going to find our way out of this insanity and if so will the police be a help or a hurt.
Murder and Homicide, charges, what is going on now?

Big Business is swarming Capitol Hill this week as they struggle to get the Internet Blacklist Bill passed.
Here’s Techdirt’s take:
The world’s largest lobbying organization, the US Chamber of Commerce…along with the biggest lobbyists representing the recording and movie industry, have ramped up their efforts to get PROTECT IP
approved as quickly as possible.
Call your local Chamber of commerce to make sure that they understand what this will mean if this law is passed.

Yes! I’ll become a Demand Progress sustainer today. I can’t, but I’ll click here to chip in $5 or $10 today so you can keep fighting the Internet Blacklist Bill and protecting civil liberties. But now the good news: Why is the Chamber having to go to such great lengths to ram their bill through Congress? It’s because of Demand Progress members like you. More from Techdirt:
This is the first stage of the endgame to get the law passed. To be honest, I’m surprised they’ve even had to go this far, because from the beginning it looked like they had the easy support. The fact that they felt the need to break out this little stunt shows that the opposition to PROTECT IP has actually drummed up enough noise that some politicians are concerned about the very real unintended consequences of the law.
Will you support our work by becoming a monthly Demand Progress sustainer?
Yes! I’ll become a Demand Progress sustainer today. I can’t, but I’ll click here to chip in $5 or $10 today so you can keep fighting the Internet Blacklist Bill and protecting civil liberties. Thanks so much for your continued support.
PLR content may become more valuable over time, in fact with the S978 so called youtube streaming video bill, (AKA) the ten strikes bill, would make it a felony to view upload and or other wise consume content that someone (anyone really) claims is their copyrighted content.
Which means, that the common practice of taking photos, online, using music in videos, using photos in videos, using video clips, that are online on youtube.com in mass quantity.
Literally over night about half or better of the millions of videos on youtube would have to be taken down and removed.
While they may loose this battle, (at least I hope they do) they will eventually pass a bill that criminalizes youtube videos. That means that you will need to have royalty free content, in your possession and you will need to have proof that the content is royalty free.
There are thousands and thousands of PLR photos out there, millions of music clips, being sold and some of those sellers are not even the owners of the music clips.
Words like
Could become the new way to land your self in prison, with estimates of current laws, and new laws, being produced by congress with their collective heads up their back ends, you have to wonder what they are thinking.
Millions of photos, in millions of templates, that are being sold as PLR where the actual authors of the art work were never compensated and never agreed to sell their work in the first place.
What if your buying products that are not being legally sold?
That could be a real problem, something to really seriously consider.

When a trial is presented in the media such as many of the recent most popular cases these days, including the OJ case, can the victims, get a fair trial?
What if the media were in charge of all court cases?
would we have firing squads enough to put the people to death?
Sounds crazy yes, but when you watch the news, you often see this idea that opinion is being presented as fact or something like a fact.
When you see the media only telling part of the story and they dont tell the entire story, then can anyone get a fair trial at all?
Remember a few years ago when the media was sure that this one particular accused suspect was guilty, well they went ape and they said all kinds of stuff about this guy and his family they made up stuff, (allegedly) and they talked about his mother, they said all kinds of bad things about this guy and how evil he was and how horrible his family was and how evil he was for having done all these evil things that the legal system had accused him of doing however, the thing was, years later, after the guy had been in jail for many years, he was proven innocent because the real killer was caught, and the DNA proved it that the guy that the media thought was guilty was actually innocent, yet, the guy went to jail and he spend many years of his life in jail, all because of what?
The media was so sure that he had done this thing, but what proof did they have?
When the prosecuting, attorneys, allegations that the guy was just guilty and that he would be proven to be guilty which they did and they put him in jail, but he was not guilty.
This makes you wonder about the issues that effect our legal system…
When you look at this kind of thing, you have to wonder, what is the deal and why is this news at all?
What is a copyright if it is not really a copyright at all?
Copyright is a legal fiction designed to protect the works of artists, inventors and innovators.
It is a legal bar, allowing exclusivity for those who create works in the form of an intangible asset which can be sold or relinquished, and which expires upon a certain period of time. With the growth of the internet, and the creation of more and more content, the question of copyright is becoming increasingly more relevant, and one which more and more webmasters are considering to protect their own interests. Additionally, with the rise of the freelancer market, the issue of copyright is becoming a heated topic of debate for both buyers and sellers at every stage in the production chain, and the effects of not having the relevant rights could be potentially catastrophic. In this article, we’ll look at what exactly copyright is, and how it relates to the internet in content creation.
Copyright is an artificial concept that gives the creator of a work, or the person he sells the right to, the legal right to use or modify in whole or in part, and to call their own. It has a different meaning in most jurisdictions, however the basic principle is the same: the creator owns the original copyright to the work in question, and has the freedom to pass this on at will, usually in consideration for money. Where a creator is working on commission, copyright is designed to act as a lien in his favour, meaning that if he creates and passes on but does not receive payment, he can withhold copyright and sue for breach where applicable. Of course, he would also have remedies under the ordinary law of contract, but the grasp of copyright is a very powerful tool, which can even be used against the third party buyer from the original commissioner.
Copyright is designed as a tool to cover what is known as intellectual property. Committing intellectual thoughts and ideas to paper, or making them tangible is usually sufficient to give rise to the copyright protection, which usually lasts for a number of decades in preventing others from steeling ideas. This is primarily designed to encourage forward thinking and art, and can be a vital tool in protecting the financial interests of those responsible for some of the world’s most vital progressions. Consider the inventors of the seatbelt, Volvo. Volvo could have used their copyright to prevent other manufacturers from installing seat belts, and this would have been sufficient to protect any other manufacturer from doing so. Of course they waived their rights for the safety of the general public, which is also a possible consideration for the creator of something new and innovative.
Copyright is an exhaustible right, and it usually expires on a given date, after which all works enter the public domain. This means that those who create new products have sufficient time to capitalise on their idea before the world at large can join in. Unfortunately for many musicians, this means their artistic works can no longer make them money specifically, and can be used royalty free; a fact that has caused much uproar and unrest in recent years.
Copyright is a dynamic area of the law, and is particularly relevant to the internet. As more and more content of more and more varieties is created online, there comes a need to find protection in copyright law to prevent unscrupulous parties from using content without authorization. In combating this, a number of international legal organisations have been established with a view to tackling copyright violation, and helping those without legal support to fight cases for the protection of their work. It is undoubtedly an area of law that is on the ascendancy, as lawyers worldwide strive to find a cohesive structure to online intellectual property law, and the protections online authors should be afforded for creating their works. At least within national boundaries, it is highly possible to rely on copyright laws to protect and govern material.
