Having spent many years hanging around the Public Defender system, they scoffed at the word justice. They would quite often get the person to didn’t “roll over and the people that couldn’t afford the private attorney with connections and the ability to have investigators to look at the case. The public defender system’s budget is set not on need but at the whim of politicians. » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 6:26 pm đ„ #toomuchdoubt Way too much doubt.

Yes, Mark, Tax reform is desperately needed, but it ain’t going to happen with this congress and not before the election. Millions of people can’t wait for a job while the needed tax reforms are debated, discussed, debated some more and then voted down in this R controlled house. » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 2:23 pm KQ, I fear this scenario but I can see it. » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 2:09 pm Perry is such a dunce. He didn’t even have the sense to wait for PBO’s UN speech before he said the the President was anti-Israel. I haven’t seen any reaction to what the Fed did today but there’s no doubt it will be condemned by all the R’s and they will all yell “Inflation-printing dollars” even though inflation has been below 2% (close to 1%) since the Bush economic crash. » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 2:06 pm All this and without a plan of their own. R’s:”It’s the deficit/debt! Obama doesn’t have a plan, show us the plan, we have the Ryan plan, where’s yours?” PBO: Here’s a balanced plan to reduce both the long range debt and deficit. R’s: “No new taxes on the job creators! We need jobs!” PBO: “Here’s a balanced jobs plan and cuts taxes on small business, invests in infrastructure and reduces the payroll taxes for employees and employers.” R’s: “We can’t afford it, Government can’t create jobs, the private sector creates jobs!” PBO: “To raise the revenue a tax will placed on the earnings of the top 2% and fix our infrastructure putting millions of people back to work.” R’s: “Class Warfare!” Rinse and repeat. » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 1:49 pm Remarks by President Obama in Address to the United Nations General Assembly And no I haven’t read the whole speech. » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 1:08 pm The coverage of the execution of a black man in Georgia, USA is interrupted by two white kids getting released from Iran. » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 12:53 pm Family Research Council(FRC): Following the certification of the repeal of Donât Ask Donât Tell, the Family Research Council today is asking members to pray that the âgodless policy be reversed.â Their prayer alert echoes the message of FRC president Tony Perkins that the organization will be dedicated to monitoring the supposedly devastating consequences of Donât Ask Donât Tellâs repeal. The group warns that the âPandoraâs Box has been openedâ and that President Obama will need to answer âquestions about religious freedom, conscience exemptions, and same-sex partner benefitsâ from Republican congressmen.

To support a stronger economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at levels consistent with the dual mandate, the Committee decided today to extend the average maturity of its holdings of securities. The Committee intends to purchase, by the end of June 2012, $400 billion of Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 6 years to 30 years and to sell an equal amount of Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 3 years or less. This program should put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative. The Committee will regularly review the size and composition of its securities holdings and is prepared to adjust those holdings as appropriate. To help support conditions in mortgage markets, the Committee will now reinvest principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities. In addition, the Committee will maintain its existing policy of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/monetary/20110921a.htm » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 11:36 am A Tea-Party candidates non understanding of taxes (and more.) So I took the opportunity to ask her if, as with many Republicans today, she was opposed to any form of revenue increases that might help balance the budget. In fact, she said, she was not. She favors increasing the sales tax, because it’s “progressive,” and based on consumption. […] In reality, the sales tax is highly regressive, falling heavily on poor people who might not even have to pay income taxes, which are progressive. When I pointed this out, Eagar seemed confused. She didn’t seem to realize that just because the total amount of sales tax might be higher on a yacht than on a bag of groceries, it’s still regressive. So I explained to her how a 6 percent sales tax, like we have in DC, eats up a larger proportion of the income of someone making less money than someone making more money. In response, she saidâŠnothing. She rested and ready to run for Congress to help set tax policy but doesn’t understand grade school math. One good thing though she is against porn! And here’s one paradox of Utah politics: While state legislators and others are quick to laud Eagar’s anti-porn activism publicly, Utah also leads the nation in smut consumption. When all those Salt Lake Mormon Playboy subscribers get inside the voting booth, they may well decide that Jim Matheson really isn’t so bad after all, even if he is a Democrat. “Utah’s Sarah Palin” Cherilyn Eagar Has a Tax Problem » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 10:44 am Watching (again đ ) C-Span3 and lo and behold the R’s are holding a hearing on jobs and debt reduction. Their big plan is to open up the wildlife preserve in Alaska (ANWR) for oil drilling! Move the family to the Arctic North Slope and get one of the 3,000 jobs in about 3-10 years. The “new” tax revenue form the oil companies will almost match their subsidies. » Posted By bito On September 21, 2011 @ 9:58 am Sue is that “Teaper” stuff or Orwell stuff? Wait did I just ask the same thing twice? » Posted By bito On September 20, 2011 @ 8:31 pm More on Sheruff Joe (as that isn’t enough) Don Stapley: Andrew Thomas, Joe Arpaio ‘destroyed’ my life Four months have passed since the last set of criminal charges against Stapley were tossed. He said time has not dimmed his memories of being indicted, arrested, indicted again, and named in multiple lawsuits during ongoing political and legal battles between the Board of Supervisors, Thomas and Arpaio. Stapley, of Mesa, described the actions of Thomas and Arpaio as “frightening,” and testified that he has incurred more than $2 million in legal fees defending himself. After a lengthy state Bar investigation, the three former prosecutors were accused of a combined 33 ethics violations stemming from their actions against county officials, judges and others. Their fate will be decided by a three-member panel, which could decide to strip Thomas and Aubuchon of their law licenses. Alexander faces lesser sanctions. » Posted By bito On September 20, 2011 @ 8:27 pm So Sorry about blocking your email. Yahoo blocked e-mails about Wall Street protests Yahoo apologized yesterday after people using its e-mail service were prevented from sending messages about anti-Wall Street demonstrations over the weekend. The company said that an external spam filter had blocked the messages but maintained that it was inadvertent. It said that the problem has since been resolved, though there may be some residual issues. ThinkProgress, which first noticed the problem, posted the following video of someone being blocked from e-mailing a message inviting their friends to visit the “Occupy Wall St.” campaign Web site.

Georgia’s governor does not have the power to grant condemned inmates clemency. Davis supporters are calling on Chatham County District Attorney Larry Chisolm to block the execution. But the prosecutor said in a statement Tuesday he’s powerless to withdraw an execution order for Davis issued by a state Superior Court judge. » Posted By bito On September 20, 2011 @ 5:15 pm KT, one of the biggest hypotheticals that I remember from my youth was the Draft Board asking if you would work in the steel mills if one was applying for CO status. Or the one about not killing, “not even to protect your family?” They had a list of trap questions to deny CO status. “What if the moon is really made out of cheese, would you eat it?” Your “not based in reality” is often right! » Posted By bito On September 20, 2011 @ 5:08 pm Some of the “usual suspects” on the far left are calling on PBO to step in on the case. Right, that’s all he needs to do, get involved in a state case and the judicial system.

One justice can delay and it takes 5 to approve the writ.
fleetadmiralj Josh Chambers
I always thought that the one judge that has jurisdiction over that district could grant a delay but they usually convene the members. MSNBC says it takes five to grant the Writ and I thought it was four for a Petition for Writ of Certiorari” A “let’s be damn certain” writ.
