The ruling could resurrect detainee lawsuits that federal judges in Washington postponed, pending the outcome of the high court case. It remains unclear if this ruling, unlike the first two, would lead to prompt hearings for the detainees, some of whom have been held for more than 6 years. less Tags: supreme court bush guantanamo bay illegal detention Category: News Views: 15 Comments: 0 Added: Jun 13, 08 By: walkinturtle2u  | |  |  | | State Supreme Court Judge Gets Busted for Drunk Driving 04:10State_Supreme_Court_Judge_Gets_Busted_for_Drunk_Driving Tags: statesupremecourtjudgegetsbustedfordrunkdriving Category: Entertainment Views: 121 Comments: 0 Added: Jan 29, 07 By: probud | |  |  | | Freedom To Live The Death Penalty 01:29Since our nation's founding, the government -- colonial, federal, and state -- has punished a varying percentage of arbitrarily-selected murders with the ultimate sanction: death. More than 14,000 people more...have been legally executed since colonial times, most of them in the early 20th Century. By the 1930s, as many as 150 people were executed each year. However, public outrage and legal challenges caused the practice to wane. By 1967, capital punishment had virtually halted in the United States, pending the outcome of several court challenges.
In 1972, in Furman v. Georgia, the Supreme Court invalidated hundreds of death sentences, declaring that then existing state laws were applied in an "arbitrary and capricious" manner and, thus, violated the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, and the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees of equal protection of the laws and due process. But in 1976, in Gregg v. Georgia, the Court resuscitated the death penalty: It ruled that the penalty "does not invariably violate the Constitution" if administered in a manner designed to guard against arbitrariness and discrimination. Several states promptly passed or reenacted capital punishment laws.
Today, states have laws authorizing the death penalty, as does the military and the federal government. Several states in the Midwest and Northeast have abolished capital punishment. Alaska and Hawaii have never had the death penalty. The vast majority of executions have taken place in 10 states from the South and over 35% have occurred in Texas. In 2004, the high courts of Kansas and New York struck down their death penalty statutes as unconstitutional and the legislatures have yet to reinstate them.
Today, about 3,350 people are on "death row." Virtually all are poor, a significant number are mentally disabled, more than 40 percent are African American, and a disproportionate number are Native American, Latino, and Asian.
The ACLU believes that, in all circumstances, the death penalty is unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment. We also believe that the death penalty continues to be applied in an arbitrary and discriminatory manner in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. less Tags: capital punishment death panalty eighth amendment supreme court usa Category: Video Comments Views: 207 Comments: 2 Added: Aug 11, 08 By: d1rect24 | |  |  | | Rebate 100 Gas For Citizens of Florida 00:12Florida Citizens can claim a $100 gas rebate.

MTC Analytics 6 0 4 - 5 1 2 - 9 5 6 7 6 0 4 - 9 8 0 - 1 7 9 7 Want a short explanation? Remember (in another blog) that lawyers are fighting 60-200 cases simultaneously. On an average day, two to three hundred pages of paper can arrive in the mail, by courier, or via fax. This lawyer has to read every single document, then sort it, and drop it in the "to file" out-box. A filing clerk files each document, hopefully, in the right file. The filing clerks, usually paid minimum wage, or nothing (unpaid co-op students) may lose the document, or file it in the wrong file. These documents are often important evidence. For filing clerks, even more difficult to handle are videotapes, audiotape recordings, and other non-paper items. Often, these are irreplaceable pieces of evidence.
