Statutes are created when original court cases are heard and ruled upon. Case law is created by rulings that are a result of examining statutes. Case law can either uphold the original statute or strike it down. Case law turns out to be an interpretation, or a “second look” at statutes, determining whether or not they uphold the U.S. Constitution. It seems to me that statutes can be either struck down after interpretation or continue to be enforced.
The federal government can also control exchange in a situation when it has an effect on interstate progress of supplies and provisions and may strike down state proceedings which are obstacles to such movements (2012). Is The Confusion Statue Constitutional? Discuss Your Legal Reasoning Under the meaning of Article III, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, the lawsuit stresses a “case of controversy.” Although states have the authority to set their own statues, some of them can cause distress and have to be evaluated by advanced courts. The state of Confusion is using the undemanding fact that the trucks have to drive through their state and are advancing from them economically. They are not requiring the B-type hitch to guard the roadways and are exclusively requiring the hitch to generate additional profits.
United State – 487 U.S. 99 (1988)” (Braswell v. United States, 487 U.S. 99) the Fifth Amendment would not apply. Braswell incorporated both companies and the “courts have recognized that corporations exist as a separate legal person” (Melvin, 2011, pg. 554). The details of corporate records are not privilege under the Fifth Amendment and “a corporation does not have a Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination” (Braswell v. United States, 487 U.S. 99). Conclusion In this case the courts make it clear that there is absolutely no instance where documents related to a corporation or any person connected to the corporation would be able to rely upon the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination.
Sections 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(B).” Stewart filed a motion to suppress the physical evidence on January 7, 2008. The federal court denied his motion on February 14, 2008. The trial court ruled that the suitcase was abandoned, defendant did not express possession after learning its location, and since defendant abandoned the suitcase, he did not have an expectation of privacy in the suitcase or its contents. Defendant entered a conditional guilty plea on March 6, 2008. Defendant appealed his suppression hearing under his right to appeal.
The stockholder’s argued: (1) the plaintiff’s certificate of incorporation does not expressly authorize the contribution, and under common-law principles the company does not possess any implied or incidental power to make it, and (2) the New Jersey statutes which expressly authorize the contribution may not constitutionally be applied to the plaintiff, a corporation created long before their enactment. Issue: Does the corporation possess any implied or incidental power to make the contribution? Holding: Yes.
Contrary, in Gulf Life Ins. Co. v. Wilson, the beneficiary provided specific evidence of affidavits by doctors and nurses, which stated that the insured was completely incompetent to transact in any sort of business. Gulf Life Ins. Co., 181 S.E.2d 914 at 916. Courts held that mere assertion of one’s illness or of matters unclear at times are insufficient to establish incompetency.
Martin Luther argued that the charter was not “a republican form of government” and all acts thus far are not binding. The question was whether or not the Court had the authority to declare which policy could be called the government of Rhode Island. The Court held that the federal courts did not have the authority nor is it the courts function to decide “political” matters; it is the responsibility of the President and Congress. Another example is how Chief Justice Roberts upheld the Constitutionality of ObamaCare. He contended that the health insurance mandate was lawful under Congress’ power to “lay and collect taxes.” Roberts said that “the text of a statute can sometimes have more than one possible meaning” and the “the government asks us to interpret the mandate as imposing a tax.” In contrast to Judicial restraint, Judicial activism is the idea that judges should actively interpret the Constitution and make policy decisions in new ways.
Myriad’s process claims got even less respect. In just a few pages, out of 156 in total, the court concluded that they all failed the Federal Circuit’s “machine or transformation” test for method claims. (This test comes from the recent Bilski case. Although the Supreme Court will soon issue its own opinion in Bilski, the machine or transformation test is the law unless and until the Supremes order otherwise.) Judge Sweet found that none of the methods were tied to any particular machine, nor did they bring about a tangible transformation of anything.
Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States The Civil Rights of 1964 prohibited places of “public accommodation” from discrimination based on customer’s race, sex, color, religion, or national origin. The Heart of Atlanta Motel challenged the constitutionality of this provision and, after losing before a three- judge federal court, appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled that Congress had the power under the commerce Clause to enact the prohibitions on discrimination contained in the public accommodations sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Justice Thomas Clark wrote the opinion for a unanimous Court. The Heart of Atlanta Motel was a large, 216-room motel in Atlanta, Georgia.
In addition, the investors and creditors of Phar-Mor did not have a written agreement with the auditor, Coopers & Lybrand’s, defining Coopers & Lybrand’s duty. Thus, those investors and creditors are third parties but not primary beneficiaries. Consequently, Coopers & Lybrand was held not liability for the investors and creditors. On the other hand, Plaintiffs alleged that Coopers & Lybrand had recklessly audited Phar-Mor financial statements and if Coopers & Lybrand’s
