On immigration laws

Just because our families made it ahead of their families, what right do we have to stand and judge who becomes a citizen…. If our laws and paper work weren’t so intimidation, I think most immigrants would use the proper procedures to enter, and become their dream. “when’s the last time you applied for a room cleaning job or a trash sweeper at disney?”…get real people. Make the America accountable, otherwise our “pledge allegiance to the flag….” is an empty promise!

Btw what ever happen to president Obama’s aunt… Yup she’s still here and processed to stay.

What would you ask the President of the United States?

What would you ask the President of the united States, If given the opportunity

This may be a question of a life time for the sophomore
college student, he was quite bold and direct… too bad
the President did not reply with the same tenacity, even
though he claims he and his family are not that far away
from those years when they did not know what bill was
going to be paid on time, including their student loans…

Here is the question –

a young man who identified himself as a college sophomore
— and wisely didn’t provide his name
— complimented the president on his efforts to stimulate
the economy. He then asked Obama whether he has considered
“legalizing prostitution, gambling, drugs and nonviolent crime”
as a way to further boost economic growth.

President Obama’s reply-

“I appreciate the boldness of your question, but that would not be my strategy,” the president said, to laughter. In college, he said, “what you are supposed to do is to question conventional wisdom.  So you’re doing what you’re supposed to do.”

[btw-never really answered this question]
I guess He is fitting in to “Washington-Politics as usual”

IMHO –

I guess he was far enough removed from that time in his life,
that he lost one of the lessons he learned in college “to question
conventional wisdom…” Finn Perkins

Save One BIg company, at the cost of losing 3o+ others…it’s not good: President Obama, retooling his statement right before my eyes (and ears), on TV

Save One BIg company, lose 3o+ others...it's not good: President Obama,
retooling his statement right before my eyes (and ears), on TV 

60 days and a substantial portion of the stimulus fund that went
to stricken auto makers General Motors Corp. (GM), Chrysler
LLC and GMAC LLC, the auto-lending arm of GM, as part
of the US$700 billion Troubled Asset Relief (TARP) program
in the United States. 

So it Bush's fault, he, President Obama is now doing this speech, how
are we going to teach our children to take responsibility,
when our President does not own his own decisions, we was
a senator, in assented that was in majority at the time President
Bush was considering this move.
 
I guess Sen. Obama, was too busy passing out the Kool-aid.
Remember the private directors are the same group they
just took the names and moved them around on paper.

 

So we save GM, but what about their vendors, $32 billion

how many more bankruptcy

Death penalty: What other’s are Thinking

Posted by: Gxxxx | May 31, 2009 at 07:02 AM

 

    I must say that I agree with the defense on the matter of the death penalty. There is something seriously wrong with the prosecution in the fact that they had waived the death penalty and then reinstated it. I know that this was done after the Caylee’s body was found, but Casey was already charged with 1st degree murder.

I have not yet seen one piece of evidence that ties her to the site where Caylee was found besides garbage bags, duct tape and a laundry bag. These are all very common household items that you will find in almost all houses. One thing that really makes me wonder is the laundry bag. This type of a household item you would think would be so easily linked to that home.

I say this due to the fact that it’s a cloth laundry bag that would hold an enormous amount of fibers, possible hair from other family members, etc. I find it hard to believe that if this basket did come from the Anthony house they have not found any evidence of fibers that could be linked to clothes from inside that house. I am also very much confused as to it taking them as long as they did to find Caylee’s body. This if anything will be the reason Casey walks.

We all have to be realistic here on this matter. Although we have this mountain of evidence that Casey did something to little Caylee the fact that the area was searched multiple times (Once with cadaver dogs) and several tips came in of possible evidence in a missing child case that were not followed up on correctly is a massive argument for the defense to claim the body was not there at that time. I myself am having a real hard time with this one.

This is especially troubling to me due to the fact that this area was only ¼ of a mile from the Anthony’s home and we all know that if tips were coming in that there was a possible dead child in the woods the authorities would have ripped that woods down tree by tree. Something is seriously wrong with this aspect of the case.

This could definitely put doubt in a jury’s mind as to whether Casey was the one to put the body there. All the evidence points to Casey having a part in whatever happened, but it does not point to pre meditated murder. There is no cause of death, no crime scene, no motive (Unless you want to say she did it to spite her mother or so she can be child free) and once again we have this long period of time before they found the body when it was almost in the Anthony’s back yard.

I really need to see what else the prosecution has because there is many holes in this case that need to be filled before I myself could say this was pre-meditated murder. Casey is definitely guilty of something (But what and to what extent) I wish Casey would just come out with what really happened.

State of FloriDAH! vs. Death row realism (title By Jeanne Woodford).

State of FloriDAH! vs. Death row realism

Mike Thomas Blog

“But now I am reconsidering. Noted DePaul law professor Andrea Lyon has joined the defense because it lacked an attorney who met the qualifications to defend a death penalty case.  Lyon is a very accomplished attorney who more than meets the qualifications.”

 “Just like Johnnie Cochran took over O.J.’s defense from Robert Shapiro.”

 
Death row realism  by Jeanne Woodford

Death row realism I did my job, but I don’t believe it was the right thing to have done. We should have condemned Massie to permanent imprisonment — that would have made the world safer, but on the night we executed him, when the question was asked,

“Did this make the world safer?” the answer remained no. Massie needed to be keptaway from society, but we did not need to kill him.

 

“Do executions make us safer? San Quentin’s former warden says no.”  By Jeanne Woodford October 2, 2008

Can we all give Baez a Break?

REMEMBER; Jose’ Baez, originally hired to defend a fraud and theft by check charges.  The reason he remain was because Ms. Anthony asked him to…I am sure he said..  (Not quoting him), Hey, do you want me to find another attorney to handle the new set of charges.  The other thing that bothers me is the assumption that the death penalty is a lighthearted decision, either by Mr. Lamar, or by Ms. Drane-Burdick.

I think the DP was originally a knee jerk reaction to the public’s outrage.  The removal of the death penalty punishment been removed because the judge ruled in favor of the defendants objection notice (Atty Lenamon); it was not a “change of heart” on the States part.  The state returned to the Death penalty notice,  to leverage the case. I do not think for a minute, Ms. Drane-Burdick would even allow Mr. Lamar to play “death row Bluff” with her own career on the line.

Update:

It’s official, Andrea D. Lyon is on the case. Per Orange County Records update

CASEY MARIE ANTHONY    DEFENDANT
782.04(1)(A)(1) - FIRST DEGREE MURDER
Charge Level: FELONY   Charge Degree: CAPITAL
JOSE A BAEZ    ATTORNEY
ANDREA D LYON    ATTORNEY
YURI MELICH    OFFICER
4/13/2009 A NOTICE OF INTENT TO SEEK THE PENALTY OF DEATH FILED
5/28/2009 A VERIFIED MOTION FOR ADMISSION TO APPEAR PRO HAC VICE
5/29/2009 A NOTICE OF APPEARANCE FILED ANDREA D. LYON
5/29/2009 A NOTICE OF CERTIFICATION FILED

So, are you happy now Mr. Ashton? [FYI -“…has never to have lost a death-penalty case.”]

So, are you happy now Mr. Ashton?  Not only is Andrea Lyons qualified, is considered and expert on Capital law and death penalty case law.

In 2005, she received the president’s commendation from the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers for her death penalty work.

“Professor Lyon has tried over 130 homicide cases. A former Cook County Public Defender in Illinois, she served as chief of the public defender’s homicide task force. In 1990 she founded the Illinois Capital Resource Center and served as its director until joining the University of Michigan Law School faculty in 1995.” The statement added that, “In 2000, she joined DePaul’s faculty and is now the Associate Dean of Clinical Programs.”

 It’s funny I used President Obama as an example..5 degrees of separation is powerful.

Even the President of the US is not DP q under Florida Rule of Crim Pro 3.112.  (Unless there is a void, if it’s the president rule that supersedes the FS 3.112 rule.)

Posted by: finnperkins | May 26, 2009 at 06:49 PM (Hal TV Guy’s blog)

The dp qualified attorney can have a vitae to match President Obama,

but if he or she has not tried a case in the state of Florida, they do not qualify under Florida’s DPQA pre-requisite/law. [Florida Rule of Crim Pro 3.112](759 So.2d 610). Amended July 1, 2002 (820 So.2d 185); Oct. 8, 2008 (993 So.2d 501).

p.s. – I wonder what her nickname will be.

btw- WFTV does not waste time on trying to make Ms. Lyon’s day memorable. “WFTV’s headline -the new attorney …stay tune and see what we dug up on her and what you need to know!”

I bet this was a hard line for Kathi Belich to say -”Lyon has very impressive credentials” and “is said never to have lost a death-penalty case.”

Kathi Belich’s is saying an extra pray tonight, WFTV reporter states Ms. Lyon’s was added to the case but has yet to file the papers and to be approved by the court.  I do not think Judge Strickland will go out of his way to please Ms. Belich this week.

old comment I made regarding WFTV and their bent view of this case-

Casey maybe a liar, a cheat, even a poster child for a 5150 PSA, and last she may even be just an average 22-year-old slacker.

These trait do not add up to some one who could carry out not only the crime it’s self, but to leave no affirmative trace for FBI and local FDLE to confirm without the phrase tagged-

 

1.      Materials are too limited to fully characterize, they remain suitable for comparison  exam, should suspected sources be located. (Drugs test on hair)

2.      Accumulation of material from different sources collected into the trunk over a period. Because they are intimately mixed, no source of this material can be determined. (Trunk)

3.      Did not originate from crime scene (soil shovel and Casey’s shoes. all of them).

 

Just to list a few reason why this is not a slam-dunk for the state attorneys office (hello Mr. Ashton)…

Read this ON THE RECORD at 10pm viewer email…..and then post your comment:
by Greta Van Susteren

From: Gordon   Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 6:26 PM   [click link for original article]
To: Show -OnTheRecord Subject: GM & UAW
Ok, first I can not say I understand Gordon, and his co-workers.  I cannot say I know how they feel.
I can only say that based  on past issues with the US Government Assistance [Bailout],
that usually the final decisions have been politically motivated.

Maybe the BIG 3 can take note of the 1979 Chrysler Bailout.

            In 1979, Realizing that the company would go out of business, Iacocca approached
            the United States Congress in 1979 and asked for a loan guarantee. While it is sometimes
            said that Congress lent Chrysler the money, it, in fact, only guaranteed the loans.
   
            The reforms implemented by Iacocca, the company turned around quickly and was able
            to repay the government-backed loans seven years earlier than expected.

Do you really think that the President and the Senate really lose any sleep over your plight.
I honestly do not believe that any of them are wide awake at 3 am wondering how the stretch their paycheck,
or wonder if the car pool is going to be on time because one of the two family cars is in need
of a new transmission, etc.

I know bankruptcy isn’t the best answer, but it is the answer that United States Constitution (in Article 1,
-Section 8, Clause 4), which are often dependent upon State law, therefore plays a major role in a bankruptcy case.
Because Bankruptcy in the United States  is a matter placed under Federal jurisdiction, Congress is responsible
to enact “uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout  the United States.” The Congress
has enacted statute law governing bankruptcy, primarily in the form of the Bankruptcy code, located at Title 11
of the United States Code. Federal law is amplified by state law in some places where Federal law fails
to speak or expressly defers to state law. Which allows the local State Constitution to assert their laws and statues.

My point – Follow the United States Constitution, not the Media.

President Obama’s Employment Alert! “Cabinet Post holders Wanted”, Apply now, Pay later….

This was written in response to a WSJ article. Un employment rates would be lowered if local employers would take up the same hiring practices of the Whitehouse…lol, bring change to Washington, D.C. is good, but and making our economy better is great, bringing to light all the non-tax paying Washington D.C. elite, priceless!

If you are a mover and a shaker, know Washington DC, with out using a GPS, can pay off any back owed taxes at a moments notice, or at least prior to confirmation, then we want you!
send all inquiries to http://www.whitehouse.gov

Please keep in mind that you may be held accountable for your past actions, whether they be legal or illegal. Also keep in mind that anything you say will be picked apart by anyone who has a keyboard in front of them and access to the internet.  If you have thick skin, a great smile, and can speak out the side of your mouth, preferably the left, then We want you!

The final detail in making your dreams come true, you know working in President Obama’s cabinet, you must be able to provide proof why you did not pay your back taxes, such as a broken calculator [ti 86, hp12c  etc], an empty fountain pen, do not own a “how to do your taxes for dummies” book in the lower left hand drawer of your desk. If this has added to your exception qualifications then We want you!

Depending on what you consider “breaking the law is/means …Gov. Rod Blagojevich claims of innocent could be true…” [ said one black kettle to another ]

There seems to be so much about everything, but nothing to do with change.

I recall judgment and experience was two of the key topics in the 2008 election. I am glad that I used my own judgment when I placed my vote on November 2, 2008  The best thing that has come out of the last 16 days that President Obama was sworn in, oh, wait I mean 15 days since he was sworn in to office, hum or is it 14 days… do we have the official date of record yet.. oops I digressed, as I was about to say, is that the last 18 months looks to be the opening act in a trilogy gone bad.  We have ponzi schemes, and legal bank robbery, and oh yes I can’t leave out tax invasion.

 

Did anyone remember to notify the Hemsley family, that there loved ones were held to a different standard of income tax laws… due to the  fact that they did not reside or hold office in the Washington DC zip code.

 

Let hope today’s news days is a slow one, you know like the days when Punxsutawney Phil, had the front page to himself.
