| Supreme Court Declines to Hear Mikulski Case | | 2008-05-11 23:00:00 | | The U.S. Supreme Court this morning declined to hear the case of Centerior Energy Corp. v. Mikulski, in which we had filed an amicus brief in support of the petition. The issue in the case was protecting taxpayers from fragmented state-by-state interpretations of the federal tax code, as well as ensuring that taxes paid to the government can be recovered only from the IRS and not from businesses.

| California Court Rejects "Voluntariness" In Labeling 911 Charge as a Tax | | 2008-05-05 23:00:00 | | Many states have taxpayer protections applying to tax increases. In North Carolina, for example, tax increases must pass three readings in the Legislature. In Virginia, taxes cannot be imposed by unelected officials without a public vote. And in California, Article XIII D, Section 4 of the state constitution requires that new taxes or increases to existing taxes must be approved by two-thirds of voters.Judges in states with such protections must then confront the question of what is a tax, because politicians will often engage in definitional contortions to label what would otherwise be called taxes as fees, profits, surcharges, fines, and so forth. The Tax Foundation's Center for Legal Reform helps educate judges about the importance of a rigorous and consistently applied definition of taxes. Governments often try to use a "voluntariness" test to shield taxes from constitutional requirements, because it is a very lenient definition.

He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams.

| Malawi Court Agrees to give Madonna a delay | | 2008-04-21 10:02:00 | | LILONGWE (Reuters) - Malawi's High Court has agreed to delay a hearing to finalise U.S. pop star Madonna's adoption of a boy from the southern African nation until May 15, a senior court official said on Monday. Madonna had asked the court to postpone the hearing from April 22 because she had to travel to the United States on business, a lawyer close to the case had said on Saturday. "I believe May 15 should be the final date for the hearing unless her lawyers ask for another date and put up reasonable arguments for that," the High Court official told Reuters on condition of anonymity. Madonna's attorney Alan Chinula declined to comment. Malawi's government recommended earlier this month that the court approve the adoption of two-year-old David Banda. The pop diva met the boy in an orphanage in 2006 and began adoption proceedings soon afterwards.

| 'Nature beats real estate' in Supreme Court ruling | | 2008-04-14 09:45:00 | | The Supreme Court yesterday upheld the decision by the Tel Aviv District Court to prohibit construction on a parcel of land in Nes Tziona that is one of the few remaining habitats of the Dark Purple Iris (Iris Atropurpurea, Irus Ha'argaman). The flower is unique to Israel.After state planning authorities did not earmark the land for construction, on the grounds that a national park was planned there, the owners of the property took their case to the district court. When the court upheld the planning council's decision, the landowners appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court justice said in their ruling that the planning authorities had carefully considered all aspects of the land dispute, and that they saw no reason to interfere in the planners' decisions. The justices emphasized the importance of preserving the property in its natural state.

| NY Times on the Court Date | | 2008-04-12 15:53:00 | | Madonna is expected to appear in a court in Malawi later this month for a final ruling on whether she can adopt a child from that African nation, Reuters reported. A court clerk said the case was tentatively expected to be heard on April 22, 23 and 25. Malawi’s government recommended earlier this month that its high court approve Madonna’s adoption of David Banda, the child she met in a Malawian orphanage a year and a half ago. Madonna began adoption proceedings in late 2006; the boy has been living with her and her husband, the filmmaker Guy Ritchie, in London since then. Critics have accused the government of skirting laws that ban nonresidents from adopting children in Malawi, where AIDS has left more than one million orphans.www.madonnasworld.com | | By: Madonnas World | | |

The child also asked for a divorce, accusing her husband of sexual and domestic abuse. According to Yemeni law, Nojoud cannot prosecute, as she is underage. However, court judge Muhammed Al-Qathi heard her complaint and subsequently ordered the arrests of both her father and husband.“My father beat me and told me that I must marry this man, and if I did not, I would be raped and no law and no sheikh in this country would help me. I refused but I couldn’t stop the marriage,” Nojoud Nasser told the Yemen Times. “I asked and begged my mother, father, and aunt to help me to get divorced. They answered, ‘We can do nothing.

Kudos to you Ms. Jenkins!!! you are a very intelligent woman.In MY opinion:Keeping us safe means that the Second Amendment should be amended to where guns would be removed from American citizens, while allowing only less than lethal weapons to be used in personal self-defense.

| North Carolina Court Says Lottery is Not a Tax; Strong Dissent | | 2008-03-18 00:00:00 | | The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled 2 to 1 today that the state lottery is constitutional, because it neither pledges the credit of the state nor imposes a tax. The Tax Foundation had submitted an amicus brief supporting the constitutional challenge to the law brought by the North Carolina Institute for Constitutional Law. Click here for our report on the court's oral argument, which occurred in May 2007. The majority opinion, written by Judge James Wynn, Jr. (D), held that the purchase of lottery tickets is more akin to paying a toll to enjoy a government-provided benefit rather than paying a tax. Further, purchasers of a winning ticket enjoy an exclusive right to the benefits that accrue, a benefit not shared generally by the citizens of North Carolina (like tax revenue would be). This discussion is both true and incomplete, in that it refers only to the 65 percent of lottery revenues that are used to pay prizes and administer the game.

The amount of stress that is involved in the whole legal process, especially in regards to a CHIPS (Child in Need of Protection or Services) case, with us on the "abusive or neglectful parents" side of things, is beyond anything I'd ever experienced before.Salinda has court this afternoon for her "domestic assault" charges from two weeks ago when she punched me. it is going to mess up her "stay of adjudication" and now she will have a trial for stealing the car. I am still battling feeling guilty for calling 911 even though I know I shouldn't. It could easily mess up her future. But then I remind myself that she is making her own choices. Interestingly, her behavior has | | By: Never a Dull Moment | | |

| Tax Court: Antarctica Not a Foreign Country for Tax Purposes | | 2008-03-11 00:00:00 | | The federal government taxes U.S. citizens on all income wherever it is earned, but those working and living abroad in a "foreign country" for a certain number of days may exclude a certain dollar amount of wages earned overseas under section 911 of the Internal Revenue Code. Durant and Mette Cephers spent much of 2001 and 2002 at the McMurdo Station on Ross Island, Antarctica, and their tax returns excluded income as outlined in section 911 as having been earned in a foreign country. The U.S. Tax Court ruled yesterday in Cephers v. Commissioner that the wages were improperly excluded because Antarctica is not a foreign country. They cited a previous ruling, Arnette v. Commissioner, which held that a "foreign country" is a territory under the sovereignty of a government other than the United States or its possessions. Because Antarctica has no government under the terms of the 1961 Antarctic Treaty, it does not meet the definition.Section 911 is meant to g | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

Arguing before the State Supreme Court Tuesday, attorneys for Robert Henderson said that it’s nobody’s business that their client had joined the Knights Party, an active chapter of the Klan, because it never affected the way he treated people of different races. Moreover, Henderson’s lawyers contend, the state violated his right to free speech. “Sinc | | By: PhreQuency Ent. | | |

| Drunk Elvis Impersonator 'All Shook Up' in court | | 2008-03-07 00:52:16 | | A few years back, we found a rental car company that didn’t charge extra for mileage and proceeded to make them rethink that policy by striking out on an impromptu 1300 mile trip from Toronto to New Orleans with a couple of buddies. En route, we took in the best of what the southern US has to offer: happily clogging arteries with their delicious early-grave food, spending more than one late night boozing it up on Nashville’s main strip, and also doing the tourist guidebook stuff that involved sites near and dear to our hearts like the Jack Daniels distillery and Johnny Cash’s house in Hendersonville Tennessee. We were disappointed to see that the latter was closed to the public upon our arrival, but heartened when we saw a sign across the street for something called “Trinity Music City, USA”. Alas, this enthusiasm was premature. “Trinity Music City, USA” is what Conway Twitty's Xanadu-like compound “Twitty City” was renamed when the Christian Trinity Broadcasting | | By: The Shark Guys | | |

(CBS) Only hours after hosting an Oscars party, Madonna appeared for jury duty.
As Early Show national correspondent Hattie Kauffman
reports, The Material Girl reported to court to fulfill her civic duty
-- in a sweatshirt and sunglasses.
The mega-pop star was among some 60 potential jurors called for a simple driving-under-the-influence case.
Lawyers had mixed feelings about the prospect of Madonna on a jury.
"Sometimes," says attorney Richard Falk, "a very famous actor or
actress or celebrity, I would imagine, would cause a distraction to the
proceedings."
"I would think," says legal eagle Bill Reich, "she would be a fine juror."
She wasn't picked for the panel.

| Court Declines to Hear Challenge to Cities Taxing Beyond Their Borders | | 2008-02-19 00:00:00 | | The U.S. Supreme Court today declined to hear a case involving the taxation of a Michigan business in Washington State. The case, Ford Motor Co. v. City of Seattle, involved $1.7 million in taxes charged by the cities of Seattle and Tacoma on the Ford Motor Co., for its sales to dealers located in Washington State. Although only most of Ford's wholesale activity occurred outside Seattle and Tacoma, the two cities assessed taxes on 100 percent of the sales.The Washington Supreme Court had narrowly ruled for the cities. That decision allowed municipalities to reach into the coffers of out-of-state businesses, by permitting them to collect local sales tax on Ford's Michigan sales to dealers. The state supreme court ignored the long-established rule that business activity cannot be taxed unless there it reaches a minimum level of nexus.Four justices on the lower court disagreed with the ruling, in a dissent authored by Justice Richard Sanders. He wrote that because transfer of title o | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |
