By: Shelby Larson | 2009-08-15 | Cyber law
When Lori Drew was brought before a Missouri Court, there was no standard addressing cyberbullying or in this case cyber-harassment. The difference between these two terms is that cyberbullying occurs between children or teens, while cyber-harassment or cyberstalking is the result of an adult harassing another adult or exploiting a child. read more

Supreme Court Overturn Health-Care Reform

By: Health Insurance | 2010-12-16 | Insurance
and that it will likely be a 5–4 majority—but which way that majority will go is unclear. Although it garnered less attention, the ACA has been upheld as constitutional by two district courts. (Those cases, one in Virginia and one Michigan, were lower profile because they were filed by conservative organizations rather than a state government.) If lower-court decisions had consistently upheld the law, there would have been a possibility of the Supreme Court read more

Supreme Court Rules on Climate Change

By: Don Sutherland | 2010-04-04 | Politics
On April 2, in "Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency," the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently possesses the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act and that it cannot evade its statutory responsibility to exercise that authority. The majority opinion written by Associate Justice John Paul Stevens resolved the issue of whether the EPA has authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. On account of that decision, the political and economic landscape has moved farther away from the scientific debate in a direction toward laying a framework for stemming greenhouse gas emissions. read more

1913 - The Oregon Supreme Court Leads a Multistate, and, Enduring, Attack on the Initiative

By: Greg Wasson | 2010-04-04 | Politics
In 1913, a packed Oregon Supreme Court ignored the law and issued a series of biased rulings aimed at stopping the populist revolution being led by Oregon City lawyer William S. U'Ren. In 1913, the federal courts did not concern themselves with political disputes at the state level. Accordingly, Oregon's naked judicial power became the vogue in other State Supreme Courts looking to put a stop to this populist foolishness. read more

Not the Way to Elect a President

By: Wayne Nolen | 2010-04-04 | Politics
Well, here we are again, careening towards Election Day with many of the polls within the margin of error. Could this be another year our president is selected, not by popular choice, but by the vote of a single Supreme Court justice? A presidential election with fuzzed up election returns leaving the Democrat's feeling bitter and betrayed? Does this possibility conjure up ghosts of a past presidential election? Yeah, the presidential election of 1876 was arguably the most fiercely disputed election in American history. What's that you say; I got the year wrong? read more
