I have my doubts about that given the slew of EOs the White House has issued the last week. I've said it before that Trump doesn't really understand the Constitution or care about following it. Nothing I've seen in the last week changes my view on that. I agree with that wholeheartedly. That's...

No. Any government employee, up to and including the president, who knowingly violates the constitutional rights of others violates the constitution and the rights of others. Period. Full Stop. Saying its ok that the government violates our rights to get the matter reconsidered by the high...

Her future living accommodations are already set should she be convicted. I think she'll find it a lot less pleasant than the place she was renting. I think it's also likely divorce is in the near future for her, too.

Sure, there are things the OP ought to try first to resolve it amiciably before calling the cops. As you noted, we don't the details to determine just how bad (or not) it really is. That's why your earlier snarky response of "invest in some earplugs if it bothers you so much" struck me as very...

So he knows the limitations on military involvement in law enforcement and still orders troops in what is clearly not a military situation. Just one of several moves he's made in the last two in which he gives a big middle finger to the Constitution. For those of you who voted for him thinking...

That strikes me as a dismissive response. Some noise you can expect. But the neighbor can't make sounds so loud that they are outside the bounds of normal use of the apartment and the neighbor can't be noisy all day and all night. There are limits to the noise a neighbor can create. There is a...

My guess is that you have a reluctant landlord. Failure to pay rent is typically provides the landlord with the easiest and fastest claim to evict a tenant. It certainly shouldn't take a year to do. You may check the court records for your county to see if the landlord has started the process...

He of course may consult an attorney. I think your question really is can he succeed? That's something you should consult an attorney about. The specific terms of the policy as well the applicable New York law regarding the effect of divorce on life insurance contracts are important. State laws...

I think it likely that it isn't a violation of the Florida Constitution, just based on what you've said here. It has long been a practice in Florida and elsewhere for cities and counties to provide these kinds of services for their community. The key difference here is that the state isn't...

He makes it sound all very simple. But having spent over 40 practicing tax I can tell you it will not be that simple at all. If the consumption tax is levied as a flat tax then the burden of paying the tax will fall mostly on lower income people, exactly the opposite of what most people think of...

Capital One has long been one of the most aggressive credit card marketers with tactics that, if not illegal, are still a problem as they appear to mislead customers as to just how good the credit card offers it has really are. Personally I avoid doing with that particular bank.

Just because everyone else has a tree doesn't mean you are entitled to a new one when the one you had died. Read the HOA documents to see exactly what the HOA is required to provide for you. If those documents don't say you are entitled to tree replacement then it's up to the HOA board whether...

You might also want to provide your reasons for why you think the PD is corrupt. Corruption is a claim often tossed around by those who aren't being treated like they should. Sometimes the charges of corruption are accurate, but a lot of the time they are way overstated.

I'm not seeing how leaving the child in your care for 21 hours rather than taking the child immediately violated your rights. Whether the child was is in imminent danger is determined by the facts, not how fast the government agencies acted. So barking up that tree is not likely to get you far...

It's very rare for an appeals court to overturn a trial verdict, whether the verdict was delivered by a jury or judge, on the basis that the appeals court judges think the judge or jury got the facts wrong. The jury or trial judge are considered to be in the best position to determine the facts...

Politicians who have been successful naturally think they can win any race they enter. They have to believe to go the through the slog of a campaign, especially for president. So I'm not surprised that Biden believes he could have won.

Getting an unconditional discharge for all those convictions is really the best sentencing Trump could wish for. I know he wants to clear his name by getting the convictions reversed on appeal, but keeping the appeals going may not achieve that but it would keep the story alive and kicking into...

You're basically taking the position that every president since Eisenhower was terrible except, of course, for your Lord and Savior, Donald J. Trump. The thing is, DJT's first term was not notably better than any of the others we've had since 1960. I believe his first term doesn't even qualify...

Most states require PIs to be licensed. The requirements for the license and the scope of work PIs do in that state vary by state. Thus the details of the laws for PIs in both state matter as to what work the PIs are able to do. Note that PI work sometimes involves boots on the ground rather...

Interesting how these allegations come out only now, after Carter has died? I'm sensing some political motive here. Carter wasn't an especially great president and I was happy when Reagan won the presidency in 1980 over Carter. But having these allegations come out now, right after the man has...
