    US Supreme Court reins in rogue lower court federal judges.

    Both conservative and liberal federal district court judges have over the years issued rulings and orders that extend beyond the geographical jurisdiction of the court, including issuing sweeping nationwide injunctions and have agreed to hear cases that are more properly brought to another court...

    Data Anonymization On Online Forum Under Article 17 GDPR

    Make it easy for whom? For the companies holding the data? It is most definitely not easy or cheap to extend the GDPR requirements to all users and as they have no such legal requirement they stick to the minimum that the GDPR mandates. The user bears some responsibility, too. If a EU resident...

    Mexico accounts for a very sizable part of our trade; well over $300 billion of both our imports and imports are with Mexico . It has part of the reason that goods that Americans buy were as inexpensive as they were before Trump went off on his misguided tariff romp. Without trade with Mexico...

    David Mamet to Newsmax: Trump, Musk Will Bury Their Beef

    I think David Mamet needs to have the lenses on his reality glasses checked. He is wrong that Trump was "overwhelmingly elected". Perhaps he's also math challenged because no one who was being honest would call getting 49.8% of the popular vote an "overwhelming" victory. That's about as close to...

    Artificial streaming accusation (worth trying to sue)

    That is indeed one of the reasons for that presumption in the law. In a lot of circumstances it is extremely difficult to prove that you didn't do something. There won't be any video showing you not committing the crime. The best the defendant can hope for in terms of video is a recording...

    Felons,guns

    True. Politicians in particular seem to be truth challenged. Trump's administration is exhibit "A" for that. That's one of the reasons a truly free press is so important. Reporters who dig to find the truth and expose it to the light of day do the country a great service.

    If that term is in an actual employment contract between you and the employer the fact that the starting date is misstated typically will not void the contract. If the matter went to litigation the most likely outcome is that the court would reform the contract to reflect the intent of the...
