There seems to be a disconnect between the sides in the Terri Schiavo case as to what ‘de novo’ means. The term is most commonly found at the appellate level, describing the degree of deference given to the lower or previous court’s findings. ‘De novo’ is the least restrictive – the reviewing court can literally [...]

ST. LOUIS, MO (AP) – Congress voted 205 – 65 today to confer federal jurisdiction on last year’s World Series. HR-1917 gives the United States District Court of Eastern Missouri de novo review over the Red Sox stunning four game sweep over the St. Louis Cardinals. “C’mon! Some of those strike calls were clearly off [...] Steve M of No More Mister Nice Blog does a much better job of summing up exactly why Democrat politicians have been so reluctant to take a stand in the Terri Schiavo case: Why the hell does it seem that no one in the Democratic Party does what I do? Why didn’t anyone see [...] A lot of law talking guys are attempting to figure out whether the bill granting Terry Schiavo’s parents standing in federal court is constitutional. The short answer is that it’s extremely unconstitutional – the question isn’t so much whether it’s constitutional, but rather: which part of the veritable buffet of unconstitutionality will the district court [...] With deep apologies to Monty Python and minor apologies to Billmon (for appropriating his recontextualizing thing), I re-present the following suddenly relevant sketch comedy act in the most tasteful light possible (which I acknowledge may indeed not be possible): Mr. Praline: ‘Ello, I wish to register a complaint. (The owner does not respond.) Mr. Praline: [...] My co-denizen Scott has, as usual, succinctly summed up the myriad of legal controversies and contradictions in which the Terri Schiavo spectacle has become entangled, and far be it from me to gild the lily.

The latest potential portals of heretical thought? IMAX movie theatres: The fight over evolution has reached the big, big screen. Several Imax theaters, including some in science museums, are refusing to show movies that mention the subject – or the [...] [disclaimer - this post is essentially identical to my comment on a Jack Balkin post which made the same overall point I try to make here and there, only better] Watching Congress’s contortions/attempts yesterday to wield its federal might to prevent the removal of the feeding tube from Terry Schiavo, it really hit me how [...] Intervener motion denied in Dover The motion by a group of parents (Michael and Sheree Hied, Raymond and Cynthia Mummert, and James and Martha Cashman) seeking to intervene as defendants in the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District case has been denied. The court essentially adopted the plaintiff’s reasoning as found in their opposition memorandum, [...] During Condoleezza Rice’s recent visit to the Vatican, the Holy See’s own Secretary of State, Angelo Sodano, asked that the US State Department intercede on its behalf in a class-action sex abuse lawsuit filed in Kentucky that the Vatican is not entirely comfortable with. As the National Catholic Reporter article helpfully points out, suing foreign [...] |
