Health Care and the Supreme Court

http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/29/us/scotus-health-care/index.html

What are your guy's and girl's view on this subject? They were talking in the article about how the act must be declared void because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and such. So its kind of cool that we can tie what we are learning in class about contracts and void to current news.

This might be interesting as we talked about Product liability in class last time....

Looking at Case #1, there is a surprising case involving Negligence. :)

Man Sues For Watching Previews at Theatre

Here is a list of interesting lawsuits including movie theaters.  One includes a man suing for watching previews and another includes a person suing for paying too much for a coke and candy.  Great use of taxpayers money!

Date and time for Make-up Exam

Several students have not taken the first exam.  Please meet me at my office at 7 A.M., Monday March 12 for the make-up exam.  This is the only date and time available.  Thank you!  Rick Custin

Class On Monday February 27

Hello:  We will have class as scheduled on Monday February 27.   I have received several messages concerning Friday's examination.  I would prefer not to have make-up examinations.  Assuming you will not be able to take the exam as scheduled due to extraordinary circumstances beyond your control, please see me in class on Wednesday to discuss a possible make-up date and time.  Any make-up exam will be substantially different than the exam administered to the class.  Make-up exams do not qualify for any class curve or additional points.  In the past, students have lamented that the make-up examinations are more difficult than the regularly administered exams.  We will review for the examination on Wednesday. 

Arizona SB 1070

This is the piece of legislature that we were discussing in class. I thought it was quite interesting that in section 2 paragraph A, Arizona is immediately saying that we want to enforce this law but are saying something along the lines of 'we don't want to step on the toes of the Federal Government,' and in section 1, they are stating they are not racially profiling, just protecting the best interest of the safety and economic welfare of the people.
