The Constitution gives the federal government the exclusive power to make foreign policy and decide immigration policy. The federal courts have so far been consistent in that interpretation of the Constitution. On this point I don't see the current Supreme Court tossing out decades of precedent...

Perhaps there are some areas where that arrangement would be typical, but where I have practiced, and the firm I'm associated with now, the typical personal injury fee agreement is ⅓ of the money obtained for the client up to AND including the trial. The fee agreement also specifically states...

I never intended to suggest it is instant. An indeed it is pretty much guaranteed that it is not required to be instant. But at the same time if the OP really wants the stuff (and not just the monetary value of it) he or she would need to file an action in court to at least stay the sale of his...

Ask your union rep what the union's position is and if they know whether the company sees it the same way. The whole point of a union is that your union is the intermediary between the union members and management. The union struck the deal. It should know what to expect with regards to how fast...

I can see a possible Constitutional argument that you are being deprived of property without due process. But to launch that fight would cost you a lot more than the value of the stuff you are trying to retrieve, would take years to litigate to conclusion, and there's no guarantee the federal...

I'd expect a statement like that from someone who advocates for shorter copyright term. But he's wrong that it would literally be costless. There's not insignificant amount of money that goes into legislation — the salaries of the House and Senate members for the time they spend it, and the...

Right, most of the states that have gotten rid of their criminal defamation laws and slowly the rest are moving to do that too. I don't know if whatever source Google gave you as the current list of states that still have it because it's been awhile since I did the research checking the statutes...

You coud do that. The question is whether it would benefit you. Ignore the fact that big companies organize in those states, particularly Delaware, because their reasons for doing that has a lot to with the relationship between the company and its thousands or millions of shareholders and...

You can ask your lawyer if he/she thinks there is any value in informing the judge of it. I suspect the lawyer will say no. Pro se parties are not held to the same standards of conduct that lawyers are and the threat isn't something that will affect your civil case at all, especially given that...

They often are contracts, but a court would need to have the details about the formation of the contract do determine that. You won't find much of contract law in your state statutes. Much of contract law is case law, meaning decisions made by the court determine the law. Laws that come from...

The text of the restatements of the law and the UCC are used by law students, but they are not typically their primary text. Their primary text will organize the law, both statutes and case law, in way that allows the students to grasp the essential parts they need to know. Then refer the...

It's not illegal in my state for a pro se party to do that. But the threat is a useless one. As already pointed out most states have a abolished criminal defamation laws and the few that still have it, like CA, no longer enforce it. And then there is my state which has a criminal defamation...

That's another thing. The prices pharmacies charge may be signficantly different from one to the other. If you are self-pay or you pay a percentage of the pharmacy price through your insurance plan, it is worthwhile to check out what different pharmacies in your area will charge. I've found...

I'd add another reason that is generally legal for not filling it: uncertainty that the pharmacist will get paid for it. That, I think, is the heart of the issue with the OP's pharmacy. Without insurance, the drug cost may be high and the pharmacy wants to be sure it will be paid. A pharmacy may...

No, but we have had a thread on that topic awhile back.

Right. And those numbers mean the passage rate of those who attended an unaccredited law school was pretty dismal. The last time I checked CA was the only state that allows students with a law degree from an unaccredited law school sit for the bar exam and be licensed as attorneys. That...

While true, my bet is that pretty much every pharmacy will do it if you pay the pharmacy for it in advance. No risk the pharmacy won't get paid, no hassle or time taken to file claims with insurers, and less paperwork the pharmacy will have to keep. That means taking a risk the pharmacy won't...

I didn't think about that, and that's something that should be checked before going down the path I suggested.

CVS is in the middle of making some significant changes to how it operates and the way it will determine the prices of drugs sold. The position the pharmacy took is legal, though it caused you extra days of pain because of it. You have my sympathy on that. I've suffered decades of pain and when...

I'm not sure what's confusing you as you basically just restated what I said. If the realization requirement is done away with then that makes possible a number of tax ideas that have been suggested over the years but that could not be done because of the realization requirement. After the...
