I would modify that to say alleged criminal acts. Until a crime is proven in court or the defendant pleads guilty that allege act is just that, an allegation. As much as I dislike Trump, he's entitled to the same legal presumption of innocence as any other defendant. The key take away from the...

I agree. So far, despite the calls from Democrats, the President has shown no inclination to do that. There is no way Trump would do it unless something drastically changed for him that would make running, and winning, the job more of a burden to him than he'd consider worthwhile. That's why...

I don't think he was serious about me actually running for the office or that my chances would be very good if I did. Rather, I took it as a comment on the rather poor choice of candidates we do have. I think a lot of Americans would rather have some other truly viable options than the two we...

Not too late. But the rules of the parties would have to be followed in order to do it, and those rules would make it nearly impossible to substitute another candidate unless the current candidate either drops out of the race, dies, or becomes incompetent. Current party rules generally favor the...

I feel no such sadness because America is a democratic nation. There are two general types of democracy: direct democracy and a democratic republic. The latter is what the U.S. has. A direct democracy would be very difficult to implement in a large nation like the U.S. and the public is not...

I'm not sure that "pushback to what Congress intended" is exactly what you wanted here. It could be taken several different ways. I assume that you mean agencies in making their regulations will have to ensure that the regulations they issue are within their authority to do, follow both the...

All I'll say for now about today's decision is that, as I stated before, I had always thought Chevron was over broad and needed to be pared back. Today's decision takes away the Chevron standard, that part is all well and good. I'll need to take some time to read the decision carefully to decide...

The EEOC outlines the process for federal employees to follow when they have a claim of illega discrimination against their employing agency: Overview of Federal Sector Complaint Process. If you don't follow that process carefully and do so timely you may find you lose just over procedural...

The employer may fire an employee for any reason not prohibited by law, which includes parking in places that management doesn't want them to park. My guess is that the reason it's a problem for management is that street parking is at least somewhat limited and they want that street parking...

So the problem they were written up for was for not following management's orders rather than just the parking issue itself? They were told what to do, so they knew what their management wanted. Not doing that is defying management, always a risky thing for employees to do. Managers typically...

What contract book? In general, company employee handbooks are simply statements of company policies and do not make enforceable contracts. If they are simply statements of policy then management may choose to ignore them if they wish; no law requires they follow their own policy (though of...

First, understand that federal and state recording laws address AUDIO recordings, not video only recordings. Security video footage without audio will not violate those recording laws. The employer does have to ensure that it does not violate the privacy rights of customers and employees by...

It is discrimination in favor of management, but favoring management is not ILLEGAL discrimination. Only discrimination based on factors that the law prohibits is illegal discrimination. Illegal discrimination includes basing the decision on factors like race, color, religion, sex (including...

When a case is dismissed, it's over and if you want to make another go at it, you file a new complaint, this time with the summons included and ensuring that it is properly serve. Because the complaint in the new case has no connection to the one in the old case you may write the complaint...

I added the key word not to that, which you inadervently left out.

You are not required to have a lawyer assist in conducting the shareholder or board meetings. You do need to at least meet the minimum state law requirements and any requirements of the corporate charter and by-laws. You may already be familiar with what needs to be done from your past meetings...

I've seen a lot of people that split up with their partner and start a relationship with someone else who still carry the baggage around from the old relationship and can't get over it. It may be that finding a new partner earlier rather than later speeds up the process for some, but despite the...

I've never heard that phrase and to me it doesn't make any sense. What does it mean to "get under" someone?

Florida's law tes, is designed to comply with U.S. Supreme Court decisions regarding persons other than a parent seeking custody or visitation rights. Those Supreme Court opinions provide that in general it is the parents who have rights to custody/visitation and that the parents have the right...

It's not illegal (i.e. not a crime) so long as you aren't subject to a restraining order that prohibits you from contacting your ex and the people she associates with. That does not mean that what you say won't hurt you. The statements you make may be considered defamatory, which could lead to a...
