Justices' long tenure brings stability, speculation on retirement WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that photos of convicted sex offenders may be posted on the Internet, a victory for states that use the Web to warn citizens about potential predators in their neighborhoods. In a separate ruling, the court turned back a challenge from sex offenders who argued they deserved a chance to prove they aren't dangerous to avoid having their pictures and addresses put on the Internet. The decisions came in the Supreme Court's first review of what are known as Megan's laws. They have far-reaching implications because every state and the federal government have sex-offender registry statutes. The laws are named for 7-year-old Megan Kanka, a New Jersey girl kidnapped, raped and killed in 1994 by a convicted sex criminal who lived in her neighborhood.

Law About . . . collection home search tell me more LII home ... donate bankruptcy: an overview Bankruptcy law provides for the development of a plan that allows a debtor, who is unable to pay his creditors, to resolve his debts through the division of his assets among his creditors. This supervised division also allows the interests of all creditors to be treated with some measure of equality. Certain bankruptcy proceedings allow a debtor to stay in business and use revenue generated to resolve his or her debts. An additional purpose of bankruptcy law is to allow certain debtors to free themselves (to be discharged) of the financial obligations they have accumulated, after their assets are distributed, even if their debts have not been paid in full. Bankruptcy law is federal statutory law contained in Title 11 of the United States Code. Congress passed the Bankruptcy Code under its Constitutional grant of authority to "establish. . . uniform laws on the subject of Bankruptcy throughout the United States." See U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 8.

Ct. 1152; 1966 U.S. LEXIS 1963 November 9, 1965, Argued March 28, 1966, Decided COUNSEL: Solicitor General Marshall argued the cause for the United States. With him on the brief were Assistant Attorney General Doar, Louis F. Claiborne and Gerald P. Choppin. H. C. Mike Watkins argued the cause for appellees. With him on the brief were Dennis Goldman, Laurel G. Weir and Herman Alford. JUDGES: Warren, Fortas, Harlan, Brennan, Black, Stewart, Clark, White, Douglas MR. JUSTICE FORTAS delivered the opinion of the Court. The sole question presented in these appeals is whether the specified statutes make criminal the conduct for which the individuals were indicted. It is an issue of construction, not of constitutional power. We have no doubt of "the power of Congress to enforce by appropriate criminal sanction every right guaranteed by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment." [The indictment alleges that] on June 21, 1964, Cecil Ray Price, the Deputy Sheriff of Neshoba County, Mississippi, detained Michael Henry Schwerner, James Earl Chaney and Andrew Goodman in the Neshoba County jail located in Philadelphia, Mississippi. He released them in the dark of that night. He then proceeded by automobile on Highway 19 to intercept his erstwhile wards. He removed the three men from their automobile, placed them in an official automobile of the Neshoba County Sheriff's office, and transported them to a place on an unpaved road.

Its mission is to advance the administration of justice by providing legal information and related services to the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government, the legal communities of New Hampshire, and the people of the state. History In 1716, a collection of law books belonging to the provincial government formed the first state library collection. After the State House was built in 1816, a room was set aside for the library. For a time, the Secretary of State also served as the State Librarian. In 1895, a separate building was constructed to house the State Library and the New Hampshire Supreme Court. In1943, the State Library separated out its legal materials and created a Law Division of the State Library. It served as the law library for many years. In 1970, the current Supreme Court building was constructed, and the Law Division of the State Library moved, along with the New Hampshire Supreme Court, to the Supreme Court building.

From the July 2000 Idaho Observer: Petition to Supreme Court reveals existence of concealed wage tax Courts and Justice Department conspire to allow government collection of unconstitutional tax Is the income tax on wages an illegal extortion racket? Irwin Schiff has filed a Petition of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. He claims that he has uncovered evidence that Congressional treachery from 1943 enables the federal government to justify deducting an unconstitional tax on your wages. Whether or not the high court ever hears the petition may be up to you. LAS VEGAS The Petition For Certiorari (and Appendix) also reveal that Federal law, in America, is not enforced on the basis of statutes passed by Congress, but is enforced on the basis of erroneous court decisions known to be false by the federal judges who hand them down. In 1943, while America was engaged in WWII, the government, for the first time, sought to collect income taxes from America's working middle class. Up until then, only wealthy Americans paid income taxes, and they did so by making lump sum payments (or three installment payments) by March 15th of the year following that taxable year - i.e. 1938 income taxes were paid in 1939. In doing so, Judge Pro ignored some 40 statutes and numerous court decisions, all of which establish that assessments are a condition precedent to the owing of income taxes. In addition, Judge Pro refused to even address Browns' claim that, pursuant to Code Section 31(a)(1), they were entitled to a refund of all the wage taxes they had paid. In not addressing this issue, Judge Pro denied the Browns the protection of three constitutional provisions along with the specific statutes that guaranteed them the refund.

The court refused to decide whether Nike's claim that its ads and statements defending overseas labor practices were constitutionally protected free speech - not false advertising as a California activist alleged. The issue could return to the court. "It's not a disastrous First Amendment year, but certainly one that gives no cheer to First Amendment advocates," said New York attorney Floyd Abrams, a free-speech expert. Some of the cases were easy for the court, like the unanimous ruling that states can crack down on telemarketing fraud without stepping on the free speech rights of charities. That ruling allows states to pursue fund-raisers who misrepresent how donations will be used. Three times previously, the court had struck down regulations on charity fund-raisers. The court also ruled 9-0 that the government may designate crime-ridden public housing neighborhoods as off limits to visitors and prosecute some trespassers. A lower court had ruled that the trespassing ordinance harmed people who had legitimate, free-speech reasons for visiting public housing.
