Marenzoni, Defendant-Appelle Facts: Atlantic Beach Casino contracted to represent 2 Live Crew, and the Westerly Town Council is taking steps to prevent the group from playing at the scheduled concert. The town council wished to review and decide in advance whether the performance will go forward (a prior restraint), and they failed to allege sufficient harm.

“The Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011(P.L. 112-78), enacted on December 23, 2011, included provisions requiring the Secretary of State to issue a permit for the project within 60 days, unless the President publicly determined the project not to be in the national interest”(Parformak). Well President Obama found the 60 days too short to fulfill such a permit and he denied the permit once again. I honestly think all the veto power that is issued in our government is ridiculous. With this power in our political system nothing new ever gets a chance to be implemented into our lives.
Morgan Evans Professor Henry English 1302 18 February 2013 Critique Essay In Senator Richard Nixon’s Checkers Speech, given September 13, 1952, Nixon defends himself as a man of honesty and integrity; by stating he did not take the money for personal use because that’s morally wrong. He gets the reader thinking by asking questions from his point of view. Nixon then supports his defense by stating all the money he gets as a Senator is only enough for one round trip, and enough to pay the people on hand, but he strongly confirms that he never touches his workers’ pay, their money his given directly to the worker. Senator Nixon backs up his statement by presenting facts about how the salaries operate in the Senate offices. Senator
In the article “No Sympathy” was a quote by Prime Minister David Tusk stated two years before as he replied to a human rights group as said “I do not believe that we can call these individuals -- these creatures -- human beings," he added. "So in this case, we don't need to discuss human rights." At the end of the day the important question to ask is this. Is castration about punishment of offenders or public safety? Dr. Keith Albow gave his analysis on Fox News.com in the article “chemical castration” his article conveniently contains info discussing of a scientific study that found that offenders on Depo-Provera re-offended less than 1 percent in comparison to 68 whom were not taking the drug.
In 2005, voters in San Francisco and California, approved “Proposition H,” which banned the sale, manufaction and distribution of guns and ammunition within the city. One day after the approval, the NRA filed a lawsuit in order to reverse the ban saying it overstepped local government authority. Months later, a Superior Court Judge sided with the NRA and nullified the ban. Instances like this have been seen across the nation further illustrating the power of the NRA. The issue on the sale of firearms is a highly disputed one.

He would not repeal it.” Hours later, Gillespie retracted his comment in an email to the Huffington Post. “I was wrong,” Gillespie wrote. “He never weighed in on it. As President, he would not seek to repeal it.” Immediately, the Obama campaign pounced on the confusion. As the sun set amid autumn leaves on the campus of Ohio University, Obama finished the day much as he began it, reaching out to the group that he hopes will push him over the finish line.
In the 1980’s the Department of Defense officially put a complete ban on gays in the military. They would ask an individual their sexual orientation and if they answered homosexual or bisexual, they were not allowed to serve in the military. In 1993 President Bill Clinton began the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that sought to repeal the military’s ban on gay personnel. Therefore, military commanders do not ask military personnel about their sexual orientations or begin an investigation except upon the receipt of "credible information" of homosexual conduct. If a person acknowledges his or her homosexuality, publicly, military commanders presume that he or she intends to engage in homosexual conduct.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states that, “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Relevant Supreme Court cases also apply this restriction to states, including the State University of New York.

While name calling and taunting have plagued playgrounds since time immemorial, the advent of the Internet has made it significantly easier to stalk, taunt, expose
