  Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.

  it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.

  plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

  GabeAthouse:

  The Southern Strategy was indeed a black mark on the reputation of the Republican Party. I would, however, like to call your attention to a greater offense committed by the Democratic Party at the time of the Civil Rights Act, namely the creation of the welfare state.

  Prior to this time there was an income gap between whites and blacks, but that gap increased substantially after this time. The welfare state created continuing and increased dependence on government support among low income citizens. In the black community approximately 70% of black families had a father present before the welfare state. Since the welfare state, which incentivizes single-parent families, approximately 70% of black families are without fathers. The consequences of this have included proliferation of gangs and gang violence, lack of education and the plague of perpetual victimhood. https://www.americanexperiment.org/thomas-sowell-on-the-welfare-state/

  In this way, political leaders of the Democratic Party exert power and control over the black community not unlike the power and control exerted by plantation owners over their slaves.

  I realize this thread is about today's SCOTUS ruling and I believe the earlier comments address the issue beautifully. However I also believe that your comment warrants further response.

  Governing Body's Reply in Support of Its Motion to Dismiss in Hines v. Watchtower

  by DNCall in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the governing body's reply to hines' opposition to their motion to dismiss appears to address the various elements in the opposition including case law cited by hines.

  it's now up to the judge to determine which party will prevail.

  the judge has up to 60 days to make such determination but it has been stipulated that the return date for the parties to return to court is tomorrow, april 13th.

The judge has up to 60 days to make such determination but it has been stipulated that the return date for the parties to return to court is tomorrow, April 13th. The Court may continue (delay) this date. I'm not sure what form this hearing will take, whether oral argument will be allowed or not, whether the judge will have made a decision, etc. If the motion to dismiss is granted, the GB wins, pending any further action by Hines. If the motion is denied, in whole or in part, the case can proceed. This is a broad picture. The actual outcome remains to be seen.

  Hines v. Watchtower, et al, Plaintiff's Opposition to GB's Motion to Dismiss

  by DNCall in

  last friday, plaintiff hines' opposition to the above motion was filed.

  it appears to me that the zalkin firm eviscerates the gb's motion.

  in plaintiff's memorandum of law, it is clearly presented that the elements of hines' complaint are of the type protected by ny law against motions to dismiss.

  The GB's reply deadline to Hine's Opposition to their Motion to Dismiss has been delayed, as has the hearing date from 3/30 to the middle of April. This extension of time was stipulated to by the parties.

In Plaintiff's Memorandum of Law, it is clearly presented that the elements of Hines' complaint are of the type protected by NY law against motions to dismiss. The opposition also comprehensively refutes the Governing Body's contention that it is immune to being sued as put forth in their motion. You can read the opposition and supporting documents HERE.

  Hines v, Watchtower

  by DNCall in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  attorneys for the governing body have responded to the complaint in the above matter by filing a motion to dismiss the complaint.

  the underlying argument its that the governing body is not a legal entity and thus cannot sue or be sued.. the zalkin firm will file an opposition to the motion and perhaps and amended complaint.. what remains a curiosity is why watchtower new york has apparently not been served.. you can read the motion here..

  Corney: That could well be, but WT has a history of late responses (e.g., Conti). If they haven’t been served yet, it’s interesting that the GB has been served while, in all this time, WT hasn’t. Is it possible that the GB accepted stipulated service under the condition that plaintiff agrees to dismiss WT? It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

  nowwhat: You pose some really valid questions. Likely, an amended complaint or complaints will be filed by Hines. Questions like yours help Hines to refine her amended complaint. Zalkin has had a lot of experience with these types of matters and I would think it unlikely that he would file a frivolous complaint. What is irresponsible though is for the OP to treat the allegations in the complaint as established fact before the GB responds, before any amended complaint(s), before discovery and before pre-trial motions. We may never know the facts of this case should a confidential settlement be reached. What I find interesting is that defendant Watchtower of New York, as far as the court docket shows, has not filed any responsive papers. They are way past the statutory deadline to do so and have not attempted to request an extension in which to respond.
