El derecho a la verdad exige ¡DEBATE!
Cuando leo columnas como la del señor Dargent (La República digital 24-12-2016) recuerdo de inmediato las opiniones de personas como él, pero lo que más me preocupa no son ellos sino sus comentarios, todas son calco del anterior, en el artículo que a continuación comparto, el señor Dargent escribe sobre grupos organizados, ignorantes de lo que propone la curricula escolar sobre "identidad de género" que según este señor sus alcances no pasan de educar a nuestros niños y jóvenes sobre su genero y la necesaria igualdad entre hembras y machos. He dejado establecido en mis comentarios sobre el tema la necesidad de la Educación Sexual en las escuelas por los inmensos beneficios a futuro, por ejemplo, en pleno Siglo XXI las mujeres consideran que el hijo que llevan en su vientre es su patrimonio y pueden disponer de esa vida como les de la gana (incluyo el embarazo por…

3 Reasons Why Miracle on 34th Street’s Fred Gailey Remains the Best Movie Lawyer of All Time…
Even though I’m Jewish, I love Christmas. And I love Christmas movies like Miracle on 34th Street, which inspired this week’s entry honoring Santa’s lawyer, Fred Gailey. Here’s why Attorney Gailey tops the list of best movie lawyers of all time… Reason 1 – He Landed the World’s Most High Profile Client Any top Connecticut criminal lawyer in Greenwich, New Canaan or Darien appreciates that in a small town, an ordinary criminal arrest can sometimes receive more publicity than it would in a big city. That’s why when criminal lawyers land a big client like Santa Claus, it can make or break a career. Gaily caught the big fish and, as any top Connecticut criminal lawyer should, he went above and beyond to keep the case. In the movie, you even see a compelling and tear-jerking scene where Gailey travels to the mental institution to have a heart-to-hear attorney-client sit-down with his client. That’s the kind of extra work that…

Whether DWI arrests of police make cops more sensitive about all DWI defendants
The 0.08 blood alcohol content threshold for getting a DWI/DUI conviction is so low that such a DWI conviction does not tell us whether the defendant was drunk rather than simply impaired, if impaired at all. Add to that the number of DWI and other convictions that are obtained through guilty and no contest pleas for purposes of bet-hedging rather than real guilt, and convictions by themselves for any offense do not automatically tell us that the convicted offense was actually committed. When police and prosecutors are arrested for DUI, does that make remaining police more sensitive about all DWI defendants? Whether or not that is the case, a Google search quickly returns the names of many police officers recently arrested for DWI. (A criminal defendant remains presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.) Those cases include: – In Litchfield, Minnesota, the police chief seeks to dismiss an officer accused of two counts of third-degree…

The Meaning of The Day
During brutal wars, the sides would lay down their arms for a day, maybe a few, for a ceasefire. No horrible thing would happen if they weren’t killing each other for a few days. Maybe something horrible wouldn’t happen. Maybe a few people would live. But there is no ceasefire to be had this year. The impetus for Sally Kohn’s twit was Trump’s “Happy Hanukkah” twit. Even that he can’t do without “America’s second favorite cable news lesbian” attacking him for it. The view has been asserted that it’s this depth of hatred and extremism that has driven America away from the positions held by advocates like Sally Kohn and put Trump in office. The point is absolutely rejected by those who are certain that their positions are righteous, and who look to any excuse or rationalization other than the fact so others accept their stance. And so, they double down, triple down, keep pounding away at their hatred in the…

First Amendment protects police griping publicly about matters of public concern
If the police officer in my criminal defense case is sick and tired about his agency’s purported bureaucratic nonsense, I want to know both about the alleged nonsense and the officer’s dissatisfaction. The City of Petersburg, Virginia, tried to put the lid on that by issuing a First Amendment-violative overly vague and overbroad general order update, placing excessive limits on police officers’ use of social media use during their off-duty time. Liverman, et al. v. Petersburg, et al. ___ F.3d ___ (4th Cir., Dec. 15, 2016). The general order’s negative comments provision states: “‘Negative comments on the internal operations of the Bureau, or specific conduct of supervisors or peers that impacts the public’s perception of the department is not protected by the First Amendment free speech clause, in accordance with established case law.'” The public concern provision states: “‘Officers may comment on issues of…
