FEDERAL COURT IN LOS ANGELES GIVES GREEN LIGHT TO CIVIL RIGHTS LAWSUIT

I think that Hilliburton case was bogus. I'm willing to watch, but Larry's going to have to do better than he's done so far. Frankly this move made him look like a full blown idiot as far as I was concerned.

If Haliburton did enguage in shadey accounting practices that Cheney participated in, I want to see it. But it better be on the up and up or Larry's as big an idiot as you say, at least on this case.

As for Enron, I am severly pi--ed that heads haven't rolled yet. What does it take?

I think Ashcroft has about thirty years worth of prosecutions backed up if he'd only start taking things to court that we know about. I was very disappointed when I found that Clinton was getting a pass. There are so many avenues to go after him. I simply refuse to believe that none are legit. As for Larry, if he's as bad as you say, he'll get his sooner or later.

[DoughtyOne]

I hear you. I can tell this is getting to you and you're not alone. I truly do feel as if we have been sold out. Sorry, but that is the inescapable conclusion. Bush has allowed this sham ID thing to fluorish inside our own borders. It's as if the man has been neutered. Since when do foreign nations set up US national policy on US soil? Cripe, either was have a President on this side of the border to defend us or we don't. Evidently we don't.

[seenenuf]

Yep, we don't.

BTW - I've been trying to always make the word 'immigration' a hyphenated word, i.e, 'legal-immigration'.
It speaks to the libs who never use the term "illegal-immigrant".

[DoughtyOne]

Excuse me. ...either we....

[seenenuf]

[DoughtyOne]

Good point. I'll do the same.

Doughty, Doughty, Doughty..........sigh.

YOU wrote:
Do you by any chance live in California? If you did you would know that these courts out here are iffy at best. You may have heard of the OJ Trial. If so I'm sure it will give you food for thought. Nothing is taken for granted out here like it is back east.

PLEASE read what I wrote:
The 'procedures' are the same in all federal courts.

I did not respond to what I thought was your condescending tone: "You may have heard of the OJ Trial." and your "food for thought" advice.... because I might have misread your intent.

But I DID point out your error re: the OJ Trial---and that was a trial NOT held in a FEDERAL COURT.

But having said that..read my post again.

NOTE the word PROCEDURES. I didn't say anything about decisions, as with the 9th Circuit Court. I said PROCEDURES being common across Federal courts. Or at least having more commonality than you find in state courts that can vary from state to state.

Got it?

Wow! Larry's up to what...two press releases a day now? The donations must be drying up. What's a lawyer to do when he's down 10 mill from the previous year?

After all, if you're spending almost 3 mill of that on actual litigation expenses, it barely leaves a paltry 13 mill for Larry and the USPS.

[Clara Lou]

Ok .. it wasn't thrown out of court Now the question is .. will he win it??
My guess, given Larry's record, is that this will probably never be argued in front of a judge and be brought to a decision. I'm thinking that Larry's forgotten how to actually try a case.

Let's everyone ping Rebeckie one at a time to thank her for starting this and so many other JW threads and for pinging us to join in with our opinions.

THANK YOU, REBECKIE! LONG MAY YOU POST!

[terilyn]

Thank you Rebeckie.

I've learned a lot from your informative posts.

[Howlin]

Can you all help me out here: where are the press releases that say "Dear Donors: Such and such case was thrown out of court today, clearly NOT a victory."

[terilyn]

I get the impression that Larry really doesn't care to try a case. His mission is to bring things forward, put out a couple of dozen press releases singing his own praises since the media obviously isn't going to help him, collect the dough, and "Move on".

It wouldn't be very profitable to get bogged down in one case now would it? Gotta spread the love around!

[Iwo Jima]

"THANK YOU, REBECKIE! LONG MAY YOU POST!

[terilyn]

Wouldn't be prudent...

More importantly, wouldn't be profitable.

[terilyn]

Can anybody tell me, of the reams of lawsuits listed on his website, how many are dead and should be buried?

He tries to make it look like these are all active, but some of them are ancient. Some of them must have been dismissed by now?

[Howlin]

I myself cannot even keep up with the lies.

You'd think that if somebody at JW has enough time to link every article posted in the whole wide world, somebody there would have time to make a list of their cases and their status. Don't they owe anything to their donors?

[Iwo Jima]

Larry's forgotten how to actually try a case.

I don't mean to be disagreeable, but one can hardly forget that which one has never known. Oh, I get it, you actually thought that Larry had ever tried a case! Gosh, I hope that none of his clients ever thought that.

[terilyn]

"Don't they owe anything to their donors?"

One would think that if you are identifying yourself as the "Ethical Washington Watchdog", that ethics would play a part in your behavior.

Maybe he could splurge with a few of those donated dollars and buy himself a dictionary.

[Iwo Jima]

"where are the press releases that say "Dear Donors: Such and such case was thrown out of court today, clearly NOT a victory."

Ooooh! You do give tough assignments. Let me see what I can do. But first you must promise me: you won't hold your breathe, now will you?
