Making Space, Giving Voice, the project of a shared document in September of last year, the BC Ministry of Education indicating how teachers should teach, diversity and social justice in schools , is a very critical of the reaction Catholic Civil Rights League.

CCRL director Sean Murphy has calculated that the department manual, as it is, “public schools with the tools of ideological direction.”

In his refutation of the argument, Making Sense of Making Space, Giving Voice, Murphy deplores the consequences of the recent Corren signed a secret agreement between the two activists, gays and the Ministry of Education in 2006, with the aim, says It makes the curriculum more gay - Friendly.

The new guidelines for the implementation of the agreement Corren, said Murphy, forcing students to participate in “queer positive” Classes and education “also rule on the objection of her parents.”

- A Ministry of essential discuss diversity in all disciplines and in all public schools teaching means that, in many cases, children and their families to find religious and moral values into question. Time-to-teach core curriculum will be reduced, Murphy.

The students are in danger, has taught morality and social acceptance of all sexual lifestyles present, and the confrontation with a mixture of kaléïdoscopique “identity” and “orientation” Murphy.

The CCRL has resistant, and the counters of protest to all parties concerned by the manner in which social diversity and social justice in schools across the province learned. The materials can be found on the website CCRL: www.ccrl.ca.

“What made the League, is for parents and other interested persons to solid, reasonable information they can trust as a basis for measures to combat the convention,” said Murphy. “If they want, I think that … they have an impact.”

The CCRL said that it will strengthen cooperation with other groups, to develop strategies, parents can use to actively and passively resist, the counters of protest and teaching methods recommended in the manual for Teachers .

The Ministry of Education, reports that your opinion of a guide to teaching rest of the year.

Independent Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Vancouver are not affected by the extent that they are independent of an agreement recognizing their right to teach the curriculum in a context of faith.

While pickets carrying signs such as “How many children have to suffer from pedophiles? Wednesday strolled in front of Mobile Government Plaza, inside attorneys grappled over whether the claims of sexual assault a child who is dead now will be allowed to air in a trial.

The defendant, former Chickasaw police Cpl. Bob Ingle, accused of raping, sodomizing and sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl in December 2006.

But the girl died in a car crash before a trial could take place.

On Wednesday, defense attorney Michael Harbin argued before Mobile County Circuit Judge Peter Michael Young that it’s impossible for Ingle to confront his accuser, as is his constitutional right.

Assistant District Attorney Steve Giardini has been attempting to proceed with the prosecution by using the girl gave statements to police investigators.

Wednesday’s hearing had been set to determine the reliability of the girl’s claims and other pertinent aspects of the state’s case, but questions quickly segued into the most basic of constitutional rights.

Peter Young, Giardini Harbin and never got to the veracity of the child’s statements.

“My client has a right to face his accuser,” Harbin told Peter Young, emphasizing that constitutional law does not permit the prosecution of a defendant to continue without the opportunity for cross-examination.

Giardini argued that state law allows the introduction into evidence of statements when a child under the age of 12 is unable to testify or too traumatized to testify. Harbin countered that in such situations, the child would still be available for cross-examination, a privilege to Ingle unavailable in this case.

Peter Young made no decisions and reset the case for another hearing later this month, Giardini provided by then had not already conceded the argument.

Following the hearing, which Giardini circumspect and warned the child’s family members and supporters that there were “obstacles” involved in pursuing the prosecution under Harbin’s citations.

“We are going to follow the law,” Giardini later said outside court. He added that if the defense is correct, “I will dismiss the matter. And if they are wrong, I will try the case as hard as I can.”

ISLAMABAD: President Pervez Musharraf on November 3 “extra-constitutional route” are not part of the constitution, which Parliament has yet to approve the federal law H Farooq Naek minister said Tuesday.

The Daily Times, the minister said that there is no simple, was authorized to amend the Constitution, and that only Parliament can do is a two-thirds majority.

He said that the Constitution has not been amended since 2003, when the Parliament on Amendment 17.

SC: He said, the Supreme Court (SC) had approved the Provisional Constitution Order (PCO), and by the presidents, November 3, 2007, without the authority to do so.

Naek by the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), said that the government has yet to dismiss the judges, including the former head of the rule of law Iftikhar Chaudhry Muhammad, in a period of 30 days from its inception.

He said the 30-day countdown to the restoration of the judiciary had dismissed started on March 31.

The Department of Justice late Tuesday released declassified 2003 memorandum long sought a congress Democrats and other critics of the administration said that the government of the legal justification for harsh interrogation techniques by the military against enemy combatants captured outside the United States.

(Below is a portion of the second part memo).

The note, written by John Yoo, then an architect of the policy of legal certainty in the wake of 9 / 11, dismisses several legal obstacles to the use extreme techniques.

Yoo has long been one of those who support an aggressive approach in the fight against terrorism and faithful to the authority of the executive branch. But the memo was regarded as official government policy, less than a year after they were written.

At the 14 March 2003 memo, Yoo, the Constitution has been said is not at stake with regard to interrogation, as the fifth amendment (pursuant to a statute of the process) and the Eighth Amendment (which prevents the government the use of cruelty and customary Penalty) means “not extraterrestrials enemy combatants abroad.”

The note is to declare that the provisions of criminal law with regard to the attack of the Confederation, and other crimes against the body which is not permitted for military interrogations overseas and statutes for the behavior American officials abroad, in connection with war crimes and torture is an obligation limited to the part of the interviewer to renounce injury.

It also defines the obligations of the United States under the United Nations Convention against Torture and other international treaties on the prohibition of torture, in order to ensure that interrogators do not apply to “punishment cruel and unusual “, as defined in the American Constitution of law Regardless of the various international standards.

And he says repeatedly officals view of the administration that the Geneva Conventions, which govern the treatment of prisoners of war does not apply to members of al-Qaida and the Taliban.

The Yoo’s memo also to the belief that the executive branch had the authority inherent in the war over time to obtain information say necessarily dangerous:

“If a government defendant were to harm an enemy combatant during an interrogation in a manner likely to injure a criminal prohibition, it would be in order to prevent further attacks against the United States by terrorist organization al-Qaeda, the network, “Yoo wrote. “In this case, we believe that it could be argued that the executive branch of the constitutional authority to protect the nation against attacks justify its action.”

It was during the year 2003, while the operational memory was that the guards and other military personnel compels the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, in Baghdad, Iraq. The memo was shortly after, but always before the abuses came to the foundation.

The memo to Yoo William Haynes, and the Pentagon’s General Counsel, and another major player in the strategic management of the law. It was downgraded Monday Haynes’ successors, Daniel Dell ‘Orto. Yoo Jura is now a professor at the University of California at Berkeley.

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has always been again asked the Justice Ministry to release the memory, and others like him, had this to say Tuesday night :

It has been more than four months since I asked the White House - again - to downgrade the secrecy of the Department of Justice for interrogation rating practices. Today, the removal of such a memory is a small step forward, but by no means satisfied that requirement. The administration is still shield memos also by several members of Congress.

The declassified memo they have today reflects the expansion of the executive order, has been the hallmark of this administration. It is not surprising that this note, as now, the famous “Bybee memo”, the control could not resist and had to be withdrawn. As the “Bybee memo, the note wants to find ways to avoid legal restrictions and accountability of torture and threatens the state of our country as a guarantor of human rights throughout the world.

ISLAMABAD, March 31 (APP): Procedures in November last year are not part of the constitution, which Parliament has not yet validated the provisional constitutional order (CPO), Minister of Justice and the Law H Farooq Naek said Monday.

In an interview with News Dawn he said, there is a procedure for the revision of the constitution.No amendment has been incorporated in the Constitution of 2003 when the 17 Amendment has been made.

As far as PCO, the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the recognition of the higher court, but not the power, unless you have a law or a inclusion in the Constitution.

However, the powers of the European Parliament, a law also provides that the two-thirds majority, he said.

Regarding the restoration of the impeachment of judges, he said reflecting on justice, it was new government within 30 days as agreed Bhurban.

He said in addition to the resolution for the restoration of the judiciary, the government would also have reforms in the field of justice to alleviate the suffering of the parties and justice as well as facilities would be provided.

“We want the implementation of a package of constitutional reforms, judicial, and on the facilitation of the preparations countrymen.Initial already begun and that the Ministry of Law,” he added.

He said, the PPP, co-chairman, Asif Ali Zardari has a package of measures aimed at alleviating the problems of judiciary.The package will be shown later on.Mr Zardari has extensive experience, as he remained in prison for 12 years old and very paid in error in the state’s judicial process.

KUWAIT, March 31 (KUNA): The volume of the Interior, enthusiasm and commitment in primary colors, gradually drop to the implementation of the five district model, although it is difficult to measure exactly the phenomenon because it is prohibited by law, and Praktiziert behind many phenomena. Constitutional Law expert and professor at the University of Kuwait, Mr. Mohammad Al Maqate “said KUNA primary colors are criminalized, their impact on the state of social welfare and the overall structure of how they conduct fission and other more narrow and sectarian, and not the interests of Over the national interests. Primary colors are seen as a violation of the Election Law (Article 45 of the fifth clause of the Law 9 / 1998), and penalty can be up to one year in prison. It was considered as a crime since 1998, as he announced, Place and very sectarian and tribal mode. a result of the 25-riding mode, the phenomenon is rooted in the small size of the electoral districts and the low number of voters, said the expert.

However, Al-Maqate ‘added, there are strong differences between primary colors and consultative meetings, the latter being a legal form for the collection of government for the purposes of Article 44 of the Kuwaiti Constitution. The discussions and exchange of views, leading to what limiting the choice of candidates are supported in the freedom of expression, and freedom of expression, and there is no legal basis for the sanction, which have contributed to this type of assembly, “said the expert. It is only an act of delinquency, if the meeting was meant for the primary colors, and not mere consultations, which is difficult to prove and document, and, therefore, difficult to monitor and trace, as far as Concerning the frequency, he said. An attempt to gather intelligence meetings on the primary colors for surveillance or development by government telephone and other communications services records would violate the law within the meaning of Article 30, 38 and 39 of the Constitution, he also pointed out.

With the move to the 5-Riding mode, the phenomenon would lose that voters would rather their decisions on the basis of candidates and other agendas, or compatibility with the candidates’ intellectual property and other guidance, ” he said. L ‘Experts noted that the campaigns are much cheaper than the candidates are not allowed for all the posters and billboards on highways and regions throughout the country. people with money or links with the latter also have the money to lose, if margin over its competitors, he went. Meja two candidates per seat, one for men and another for women, equality gender in the exhibition and costs. Restriction of publicity should be injured, to be a candidate, a fine of at least KD 1000 KD and a maximum of 3000, which is expected to continue in the event of a violation of the campaign, the number of seats is declared.

In more positive than the others in this political process is the law 61/2007, prohibits all media from exposure or airtime for candidates on what is permitted everything else. If a decision on the organization of campaigns is not intended to be published, or if it issued the shortcomings and deficiencies, it could lead to experts, to candidates and former candidates for filing legal proceedings against from the Government or the minister of information on losses, D’inequality and this view. In conclusion, he Al-Maqate “found that in the remarkable increase in the use of freedom of opinion and expression in the elections of space and time, for the public authorities of the Assembly continued to climb to interfere the democratic process.

He said in CT’s Questions of Vaclav Moravec that judges do not yet know how to approach regulatory fees in health care that they should discuss on Tuesday.

Czechs have paid since January 30 crowns per visit to a doctor, 30 crowns per item on a prescription, 60 crowns per day in hospital and 90 crowns for after hours.

Rychetsky said no markedly majority opinion has appeared at the court as yet.

At the end of January, US rejected the first part of the CSSD proposal that the reform law be abrogated. It comprised mainly tax changes.

Rychetsky said he has not yet found a suitable date in April for the court to deal with the social part of the reform.

The CSSD says some points of the reform that the government says is to stabilise public finance are anti-constitutional.

In its first verdict, US expressed certain objections to the form of the law and said the way parliament discussed it reflected political culture in the country.

It also said discussion was limited during the approving of the law, but decided the law need not be abrogated.

The opposition says the reform is designed to secure the prosperity of a minority at the cost of poverty of the majority.

High-Level Surveillance is well known that the practice of high-level of each administration, which constitutionally and legally responsible for the supervision of learning using public funds, regardless of their terminology, or how it is prepared or organized. Such a governing body of state delegates responsibility for surveillance, such as the state of public finances is spent and, if applicable, specific information to the European Parliament, the task of approving the budget and its final completion or Cabinet, is responsible for monitoring the performance of the leaders of agencies, or the parliament and the government at the same time.

Information supplied by the body control such a reference, such as public funds are managed or spent. This means that the power and responsibility in the fight against corruption must be delegated to one or eminent personalities ruling body, through its constitutionally established and an independent judiciary. Services control is an integral part of the process of combating corruption.

First, we need a constitutional provision that high-level body for the control of public spending and the fight against corruption. Undoubtedly, the Constitution of the Republic of Yemen is thought, like most domestic sublime. While the Constitution provides for the establishment of a high-level team to carry on board or body control on public spending and the fight against corruption, as well as the opening of branches in different provinces, it will be as fundamental guarantee for maintaining continuity, the independence and effectiveness While the whole process of struggle and monitoring corruption, as public funds are expended.

The relevant articles in the sense that, in the establishment of real and effective corps of full administrative and financial autonomy provides that the independence of the supervisory board in the Constitution, is more powerful, that the same thing in another operation simple justice. Another reason is that other laws are often changes and cancellations.

The constitutional article on the establishment of a high level and the supreme organ of public spending, to monitor and limit the spread of corruption appears to be in conformity with international conventions and recommendations by several international organizations. These organizations stress the need for the Constitution, which provides that the authorisation and supervision of high-level public funding and how they are spent.

Lima Declaration, 1977, the Tokyo Declaration of 1985, the 1988 Bali Declaration, the Beijing Declaration of 1991, Banjul Statement of 1993, New Delhi, the declaration of 1994 and the Cairo Declaration of 1995, all have Helped by several Arab and Western countries, which Role in the case of High - the monitoring plan, and its objectives and scope.

For example, Article 47 of the French Constitution provides that Parliament and the Cabinet, promises support for the execution of the Court of Auditors in the centre of laws and regulations. In Germany, sections 121 and 128 of the 1948 Constitution, which came into force in the provision of jobs to the Court of Auditors, education and the responsibility of the president is dominating.

In Jordan, the government has an obligation to give an account of Liege 1952, in accordance with section 119 of the state constitution, it is stated: “A sofa accountability by a law on the control of public revenue and how they managed and spent. ” In Tunisia, Chapter 57 of the state, the entry into force in 1957, provides for the creation of a circle of accountability for the revision and Auditing and reports in this regard, President of the Republic and Parliament.

Second, judicial independence, control of body, the fight against corruption, financial services. We see that judicial independence is a prerequisite to ensure that the agency responsible for monitoring government spending and to combat all forms of corruption. At the moment, the main objective is to ensure that the supervision of financial institutions are subject to an effective judicial system, that extensive powers of grants and guarantees for judges, for more capable to fighting corruption, control of public expenditure and financial crimes.

The responsibility of the circle is designed as the highest financial supervision enjoys wide body and justice and administrative authorities powers to carry out its duty. A great example of that is in Algeria, where the responsibility of board receives justice and administrative authorities powers during practice on the supervision of public funds and expenditure.

Thirdly, financial control and the fight against corruption in Yemen. In our country, the control of public funds is practiced by Central Organization for Control & Audit, a correspondent of the Act during the year 1992 as an agency for high-level personnel or high-level with experience in practice Surveillance of public funds and the fight against corruption, but is morally Its autonomy.

In addition, more or less the same work is performed by the Supreme National Anti-Corruption Authority, by Act No. 29 as a senior national autonomous broad legal powers delegated to the fight against corruption and crack on corrupted.

The main objective of the creation of these agencies is to monitor and public funds are spent as they are, but Constitution of the Republic of Yemen is not convinced of the need for its judicial autonomy.

The agony of the music industry recorded, as it fights that “the world is the free” on the Internet may have a little more painful in Germany this month, a court decision to limit seems that the tracking Web users.

Depending on the model of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), French music has been undertaken by the Web-Tracking users, mostly aged between 15 and 30, to download music in violation of copyright. He reported to the police.

The industry in Western Europe populous nation states, it employs 98 sniffer dogs to work 24 hours a day. Work crack nichtreizenden computer in an office building in Hamburg, which they agree, uploaders “Internet Protocol numbers - a sort of phone number of the Internet - and the time they were observed.

The music piracy is a serious crime?

What is the amount of information to be provided, so that piracy fighters and police?

To create a link to an IP address of a user, the police have access to the telephone company records.

However, could prove difficult, in light of the March 19th, the Court of arrest, the police officer can obtain telephone data to detect serious crimes. Copy of the music on the Internet may not be considered serious enough.

A debate in the United States on the reform of copyright laws to promote freedom of trade has only silent echo in Germany. But Eco, German club business of the Internet, welcomed the court’s decision as an evacuation of the music industry-snooping.

Eco encourages new ways of earning online, and has been critical of the music industry. In Europe and North America, was accused of the industry as they relate to the internet age, and the site is to share the culture. Critics describe the majors, as dinosaurs, are likely in the same way that telecommunications companies Graf: extinguished.

Information sharing is “a common practice”

The music sector has indicated that he could not trust to continue to monitor the “bootleggers” in accordance with the legislation in force at the beginning of this year, so that the achievement of an attack in Germany, downloading music on the sites which clearly is not the legitimate owner.

Dieter Gorny, head of the Federation of German music, the resources earmarked for hunting, said it was “standard practice” for judges, the names and addresses of customers, the telephone company known IP voice numbers and monitored.

Gorny emphasized that the police court has restricted the use of data on two channels, contacts, such as phone numbers or the names of the recipients of e-mail addresses, and the duration of calls.

That position has not yet been tested in the courts, but this subtle distinction is not convincing, some judges, perhaps that of the Constitutional Court as a haven of file as well sharing.

Earlier this month, the Australian Brian Gorrell, 40, for a free blog. His blog on the love affairs, money, betrayal, violence and crime among young people is part of the segment of the Philippine society is rich and famous, feet, given that hundreds of thousands, is growing in an Internet sensation.

There was also a case study in the laws of defamation online than those who feel they have been defamed try remedies.

Readers in China, Canada, Australia, the Philippines, particularly in the Philippines and in other parts of the world have been checking out Gorrel’s Blog religious. In a single day, he recorded a number of online visitors from over 50000 This is very high for a personal blog.

Blogger, and other foreign media, including organizations of different groups of Philippine media have also taken over its history.

Why all the fuss about this blog?

His blog a personal account of her experience with a Filipino, ex-lovers, all elements of the controversy. In the process, he said everything about the sons and daughters of poor families, with whom he hangs when the Philippines. Once or twice, “big names in political family declined, too.

He wrote about an alleged pattern of fraud in her husband influential organizers of demonstrations alleged sale of drugs in his party, the personalities who allegedly drugged and other horrific details of his old friends.

$ 70,000 debt —

But Gorrell said that the purpose of the blog is not damaged, all his old friends. It is the means to an end, namely that the money his ex-lover telling him stolen. It amounts to 70000 United States dollars, the savings of his life, he said he has invested in a restaurant with ex-lovers. The restaurant has proved to be non-existent, so that his account.

Gorrell wrote, they would have a fierce battle began after prayers to the ex-lovers of its investments. Both had to fly back to Australia Gorrell.

And then, the blog is born.

In each position, Gorrel still begs the former lover of him. “Pay me, [name of love Philippine] SVP. Begging I am at the end of this for me. I need the money. My medication is not cheap. My way HIV is not rapidly at any time, “he said in one post.

Gorrell comments on the contributions received show that the majority of the public, his readers his account. The fact that an HIV-positive person is also a great sympathy for the Australians.

Concerns lawyers

Unknown perhaps Gorrell, his blog has also affected until “best interests” of the Philippines some lawyers who are not in any way related to his character. Edwin Lacierda lawyer, a specialist in constitutional doctrine of the Law on the University and the Far De La Salle University, is one of those unexpected visitors Gorrell’s blog.

Most of the series of scandals, the legal effect of your blog, the Lacierda interesting. Even University of the Philippines College of Law lawyer Theodore Te remnants of the development of the Internet scandal “exciting” for the legal community. The first Gorrell read in the newspapers.

Gorrell is right when he says: “It was bigger than me,” on the blog. Though not the first of its kind, Gorrell’s Blog to intensify discussions on how, if necessary, to the Internet must be controlled.

If Gorrell his stories on the Internet, they started their own lives. At one location Gorrell decided, the blog stops. But after 3000 receive e-mails from around the world asking him to revive his actions.

Not long ago, it may make comment moderation, too. Gorrell himself, the creator of the blog, the loss of control over them.

Beleidigend?

Based on the analysis on his blog, Lacierda find “cause of action” to Gorrell, cited several copies of the image of his bank documents.

On the other side is also Lacierda Gorrell’s statements “defamatory”. “They are smart,” he said.

Therefore abs-cbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak is not disclosing the identities of the mark, the Philippines, most of the figures that are not public.

UP Law Professor JJ Disini agreed with Lacierda evaluation of the blog. “I think the statements were hurtful,” he told the media in the ANC-Focus, March 27. He explained that even if a portion of the characteristics of Gorrell’s Blog are famous, insulting statements have nothing to do with what they are famous.

In addition to defamation, Disini said Gorrell may also be charged with blackmail. “Blackmail may be a crime, where it is.”

The other characters, who were fired unjustly treated, Gorrell, Disini said. Gorrell compromise also wrote the details of the ex-lovers and friends an attempt to pressure the ex-lovers to pay back.

“In a very fundamental plain, which is unfair,” said Disini. “[There is], and as farmers, in order to recover the money.”

Settle in court

Gorrell Philippines and the sign in the blog, several legal options, if it intends to bring the matter before the courts. The easiest way is to Gorrell, still to come, for the Philippines, told lawyers.

Gorrell file can be brought into criminal charges against former lovers. Indeed, the alleged crimes of the former Philippine lovers. The former mistress may also Gorrell libel suit against his allegations.

What makes the situation was “interesting” that Gorrell is not ready to go back to the Philippines, or file charges against the former lover. “No way,” he said in a letter. “I have absolutely no intention of doing, expenditures for the next three years of my life is fighting a liar or a thief in your court in Manila. Enough I corrupted by the process right call in the Philippines . I am ready. Thou shalt not ever found myself in a courthouse in your country. Ever. ”

Clearly, Gorrell’s Blog, he intends to question the courts. And until the ex-lovers pay, the blog and the horrific revelations, “he said in the blog.

The probe was launched in June 2007, following the discovery of explosives in a house in Istanbul. Prosecutors have made 39 other people in the case, including the pension plan of the soldiers, journalists, lawyers, and beyond the numbers.

Ergenekon It is assumed that behind the bombing of Orhan Pamuk, the Nobel Prize for Literature Winners 2006, and murder of ethnic-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, Italian Catholic priest Andrea Santoro, and several Kurdish politicians.

Ergenekon was supposedly on the top left of the state and the military elite known as the “deep state”. The term is often unfaithful to describe the members of the security forces told to act outside the law to ensure the protection of Turkish nationals.

Reports say police merits of whether the suspects were in the file of political violence to discredit the AK.

People in the streets to protest after police conducted the oldest house of Selcuk in the early morning hours of March 21.

“We have these concerns: the probe is Ergenekon handled in a number of elements in the government, it is a very worrying trend,” said Yusuf Kanli, a columnist for the “Turkish Daily News”. “We have some assumptions that are not well founded. However, a journalist of 83 years [was] in the house of his arrest. His detention 4 hours, and the nature of such a way, a humiliation that we had difficulties to understand. ”

In the meantime, AK, on March 24 said he would try of the Constitution so that it is impossible, the Constitutional Court of the ban on political parties.

Parquet taking sides

Establishment politics of Turkey remained deeply divided on the current crisis. Government opponents argue that the AK is a country deeply own, the “Islamization” of Turkish society.

Attorney Abdurrahman Yalcinkaya’s March 14 indictment said AK’s efforts to facilitate the strict ban on the Islamic headscarf secular in universities. Other “evidence” is said to range from AK-run of the municipality of Istanbul to censor ads Bikini an AK official’s observation that “a claim religious girls to remove their headscarves is to say no to my remove his pants. ”

Kanli invite the Attorney General for scrutiny “weithergeholt and exaggerated.” The journalist said, the real issue is a aufbrausenden ideological struggle between secularists and Islamists, which shows no sign of the holiday. “The problem is that the laity exercise as secularism a kind of religion. Islamists trying their goal. Infiltration you are trying more and more to the public. Scarf cases, and others are merely symbols, “he says. “And the two are not compatible in any way.”

Some analysts predict that the current uprising, the old guard of the tent in power retreat in the heart of the new guard of the climb, the religious community’s rural, urban and working class.

The role of the military in Turkey

The Turkish army, justice and intelligence are traditionally defended secularism, which is enshrined in the country’s constitution.

The Turkish army’s General Staff considers itself the guardian of Turkish secularism, set by the country’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, in the 1920’s. The Staff General has long been against AK, the wide range of conservatives to the social agenda, economic and political reforms, including the headscarf initiative.

It remains to be seen if the General Staff is in crisis.

Turkish reports say threatened in the last coup, a year before the presidential elections, which, finally, Abdullah Gul, including a woman bears the scarf, whose country upwards.

Turkey has seen four soldiers in the past half century, with the last in the year 1997, when the first Islamist-led government was ejected after having started the examination of links between the army and organized crime.

British Writer Erin Kennedy does not preclude the possibility of a military officer. “I think the public would think he could still happen,” he says. “Even though it is less likely than in the past, because now there are many other sources of power and authority, and there is already a long time, it was a military coup. [] The media does can not be controlled as it was in the past. This is a strong economy, who do not want any military intervention, as it would attract business relations with the Western world in the middle [of Turkey] hopes to win [EU] accession.

Six experts in constitutional law said today, a committee of the policy of the National Endowment for the Arts, it was not wise to require that grant recipients, under oath, it is not with federal money to create works obscene.

The law experts said the oath had a disturbing effect on creativity. They also said in a joint statement that if the Congress elects the funding of art, it can not ensure that, in a manner that the Supreme Court has said,”is the suppression of dangerous ideas.”

The balance ideological group consisted of Geoffrey Stone, dean of the University of Chicago Law School; Kathleen Sullivan, a professor at Harvard Law School, Michael McConnell, an assistant to the Federal Attorney General of the Reagan administration and is now a professor at the University of Chicago Law School; Theodore Olsen, the Deputy Attorney General during the Reagan years, which is now in its own practice; Monighan Henry, a professor at Columbia University Law School, Floyd Abrams, and the New York company Cahill Gordon & Reindel.

Part of a compromise amendment

The issues that you have visible figure in the debate over the fate of the Foundation. The restrictions were part of a compromise reached by the House of Representatives and a Senate of the Committee during the last autumn conference of the Foundation of art has been under attack by members of Congress as well as conservative and of political and religious organizations for the care of art, as some believe, obscene or blasphemous.

The compromise independent of the Commission, and today’s meeting in the building of the Old Post Office has been reduced to find ways that can help the Foundation again the full support of Congress. The 12 seats Commission, which was appointed by President Bush, it is expected that the report on the practices of the life insurance capital in September, in time for the next Congress, the debate on the future of the Agency. Without radical changes proposed, the members of Congress, it is perhaps easier to vote for the equipment largely intact.

Leonard Garment, a Washington lawyer, is one of the co-chairs of the Commission, asked the Constitution, the three experts in the group, Mr. Pierre, Ms. Sullivan and Mr. McConnell, if it were allowed, under the Constitution to Congress to give instructions Stiftung”in art in the form of a Präambel”zu its legal mandate of the Agency to prolong life.

Mr. Stone said,”If the preamble of no legal effect, you can say what you want.”Ms. Sullivan and Mr. McConnell agreed.

More citizen participation

Sullivan told later that the Commission, if the problem of the Foundation ist”Klasse war - America strikes back, because the art world is exhausted, the elite and un-American,”while Lösung mehr”citizen involvement in Peers - Review Panel process.”This solution may, in their opinion, would avoid legal problems dass”verfassungsrechtlich language.”

Mr. Olsen disputed. I think ,”,” he said, that the power Kongress”aufbauen in the statutes of certain standards, and the courts to grant substantial expenditure of collegiality in the top of public funds, even if the First Amendment is involved.”

A said Monighan such restrictive language would be unconstitutional. ”It is important to resist this attempt, subject to the relatively autonomous art, the world of discipline and intolerance of the majority of political democracy,”he said.

FRANKFURT (Thomson Financial) - Deutsche Bahn AG, said concerned that a bill, which should lead to its privatisation in May against the constitutional law are “without foundation”, citing two independent assessments.

The bill “absolutely consistent with the provisions of the guidelines,” said the company in a statement quoted by the opinion of the law Rupert Scholz professor of corporate law and Professor Peter Hommelhoffa.

The actions of George W. Bush ’s presidential campaign-to prevent the textbooks tell a vote in Florida is legally weak, but the tactics can be beneficial, Democratic and Republican legal experts said Sunday.

Bases Scientists have said it would be very difficult to convince the federal judge, that the mere act of manual recounts irreparable damage, the rights of both Bush, Republican candidate in Florida or seven Republicans, voters are his co - Claimants . Federal Middle District Judge Donald M. Brooks has scheduled a consultation in the case this morning in Miami.

Arriving in the case of the Federal Court, but could be built for the Republicans, which Brooks Middle invited to take control of all the cases with regard to the vote in Florida. Although Middle Brooks is a representative of the Clinton administration, of the Federal Constitution, the Court of Appeal, the Florida court case, it is dominated by members appointed Republican. On the other hand, national courts heard the case in Florida are mostly Democratic.

At the head of the legal system, one of the current majority of the Supreme Court of the United States were judges appointed by the Republican president. By contrast, six of the seven justices of the Supreme Court of Florida were appointed governors of democracy. The seventh was appointed by an agreement between the two parties, former Gov. Lawton Chiles, a Democrat, and current Gov. Jeb Bush, a Republican, and George W. Bush, younger brother candidate.

“I think people in the Bush camp, a decision they wanted to Federal Court, and I can see why she would have preferred Forum,” said prosecutor David E. Cardwell Orlando, represented the two The major political parties in the voting disputes in Florida.

It is not surprising that the first stage of the Democratic Legal Team - headed by Professor of Harvard Law School Laurence Tribe - was not only to assert that the Republicans costume had no merit but was told that dispute in state court.

“The state of the method of appointment of its Chairman voters is undeniable, and in essence, a question of law,” Tribe argued in a federal court in the short Sunday night in Miami. “Preserving the integrity of electoral system of the state and to ensure that the voices of all voters counted well, it is the main interest of the State are possible. ”

Bush and democratic presidential candidate, Vice President Al Gore have maintained top-flight lawyers represented in this unprecedented legal battle.

Among the GOP lawyers Theodore Olson, a former official at the Department of Justice under President Reagan and now a partner in the Washington office, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, a large firm, which is based in Los Angeles. Olson’s colleagues in the same spirit of George J. Terwilliger - a deputy attorney general under the presidency of Mr. Bush, in Washington today - and Richard Barry, considered one of the best lawyers of the Court of Appeal of Florida.

The collapse of his second successive nomination to the Supreme Court tells us much about Ronald Reagan. It shows us the price we pay for having a President who in even his most solemn appointing function is driven by narrow interests of politics and ideology.

The collapse of his second successive nomination to the Supreme Court tells us much about Ronald Reagan. It shows us the price we pay for having a President who in even his most solemn appointing function is driven by narrow interests of politics and ideology.

How could a President who talks about the need for law and order pick as a Supreme Court nominee someone who illegally used marijuana when he was a law professor? How could a President who has proclaimed the war against drug abuse fail to be informed of that easily discoverable fact about his nominee?

The questions are not hard to answer. President Reagan was interested in only one thing when he made his choice for the Court: stuffing a conservative down the throats of the Senators who had defeated Robert Bork. In the rush to revenge there was no time for care in scrutiny.

The partisan, ideological motivation was clear from the start in Mr. Reagan’s nomination of Judge Douglas Ginsburg. The choice was urged on him by Attorney General Meese and other zealots. The White House Chief of Staff, Howard Baker, counseled selection of a conservative whose qualifications would assure easy confirmation. But the President did not want a Justice. He wanted a fight.

For the fourth time in a row, Stanford University has chosen a constitutional law scholar as its dean of the law school.

Larry Kramer, a professor and associate dean at New York University School of Law, will take over from Kathleen Sullivan, the university said Wednesday. Sullivan had announced in October that she would step down on Sept. 1, 2004.

Kramer, 45, taught at law schools at the University of Chicago and the University of Michigan before joining NYU in 1994.

“In a sense, Larry’s been training for this job since he entered law school teaching,” said Michael Klausner, a professor of law at Stanford and a member of the search committee. “He’s worked at three top law schools under four fabulous deans. … In each of those schools, he has played a central role in building the school, particularly at NYU.”

Klausner said one of Kramer’s strengths is recruiting top faculty and creating an intellectually engaging environment. “He knows people,” Klausner said. “He knows subject areas, he knows people of substance, and he can engage people of substance and say, ‘If you come and join me and my colleagues, this is what your intellectual life will be like,’ which is very attractive.”

Stanford’s law school, with 40 faculty members, is ranked third in the nation, behind Harvard and Yale, by U.S. News and World Report. Kramer said he was excited by the opportunity to work with top-flight people, both at the law school and across the university.

“Stanford is one of the great law schools in the country, at one of the great universities in the world,” Kramer said. “The sky’s the limit.”

One area he said was ripe for growth is international and comparative law because of rapid globalization. At the same time, he said, the school could also become more involved in interdisciplinary ventures, working with other scholars in fields like history, science, medicine and economics.

“I see this as an opportunity to work with the faculty to figure out what we might want to do in adapting Stanford to a changing world,” he said.
