Posted on 03/20/2009 1:28:51 PM PDT by GonzoII
|Last Catholic Monarchy Euthanized
Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg Silenced!
Brian McCall
|REMNANT COLUMNIST, Oklahoma
(Posted 03/20/09 www.RemnantNewspaper.com) The last act of the French Revolution came to a close on March 12, 2009, but hardly anyone was watching. The demonic forces unleashed over two hundred years ago took on the aim of destroying all monarchial authority in Europe. The rulers of the once Christian nations of Europe, or at least their governing authority, had all been executed, except for the tine nation of Luxembourg. On March 12, without much fanfare, the parliament of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg voted to end government of their small nation by the Grand Duke.
Luxembourg was the last European nation to be governed by a real monarch. Although the tiny nation has had a parliamentary chamber, that body functioned as parliaments were originally designed to function. It was an advisory body to the Grand Duke. After new legislation was voted on by the Chamber of Deputies, Article 34 of the Constitution stated: The Grand Duke sanctions and promulgates the laws. He makes his resolve known within three months of the vote in the Chamber. This provision permitted the Grand Duke to perform the proper function of a monarch in a mixed form of government. He served as a check on the potential excesses of political parties legislating when they encroached on the principles of the natural law. As a hereditary ruler for life, the Grand Duke is immune from elector politics. He can thus serve as an outside supervisor of the results of the legislative process. This is exactly what he did last year in an act which precipitated the March 12 vote.
In 2008, the Chamber of Deputies voted to approve a law which authorized the intentional killing of human beings, commonly referred to by its morbid proponents as euthanasia. Such a law is contrary to the natural law. For, as St. Thomas observed in his Summa the civil law can not always punish everything that the natural law forbids but it may never sanction such evil. Now we know both by reason and divine authority that euthanasia is prescribed. It violates the first principle of the natural law - self preservation. The Church has confirmed this deduction of reason on several occasions by pronouncing euthanasia to be immoral. Even the sensus Catholicus of this overwhelming Catholic nation was clear; the populace of Luxembourg opposed the bill pushed through by the Socialist and Green parties.
Henri, the current Grand Duke, fulfilled his moral obligation as a good Catholic monarch and refused to sanction this evil legislative act. As a reward for doing the right thing, the so called conservative Prime Minister, Jean-Claude Juncker, called for an amendment to the Constitution stripping the Grand Duke of his authority to sanction laws passed by the Chamber of Deputies. The March 12 vote approved the removal of the word sanctions from Article 34. Prime Minister Juncker made clear the intention was to remove the right of the Grand Duke to approve of or reject laws. According to Juncker he must be required to promulgate all acts passed by the Chamber. The Luxembourg monarchy has thus entered the realm of Walt Disney monarchs inhabited by the remaining figure heads of Europe such as England, Spain and Belgium. They can parade around for tourists in quaint costumes and live in nice palaces, but they have no authority to protect and defend their nation by governing it.
The old sly tactics of the spirit of Liberalism were visible in the way this final act unfolded. The press and politicians called the Grand Dukes prevention of this immoral euthanasia legislation a constitutional crisis. Now a constitutional crisis occurs when an official violates the norms and rules constituting the mode of government of a civil society. In this case the Grand Duke did not violate a single provision of the existing written constitution. He merely exercised his legitimate and rightful authority to withhold his sanction from a proposed civil law which is contrary to the natural law. And the reaction of Liberalism to his exercise of his legitimate right strip him of that right!
Liberalism has always been willing to grant freedom and rights so long as the recipients only exercise that freedom in accordance with the wishes of Liberalism. Post French Revolutionary Liberalism claims to stand for the rule of law, a phrase that purports to mean that rules are not to be changed merely to reach a desired outcome. The established rules of the game, Liberalism claims, are sacrosanct.
In reality, the rules are changed whenever Liberalism does not get its way. Like a spoiled child, it picks up its toys, which it previously claimed to have given away, and goes home. A few years ago after several nations clearly voted to reject the proposed European Constitution, the forces of Liberalism decided that the right to vote on the proposed Constitution was no longer necessary. The Constitution was repackaged as a treaty needing only the approval of the governments of the member states, not a vote of the population at large.
Ireland stood as the only exception and allowed the Irish people to vote and they said no. Even this vote did not stop the forces of Liberalism who vowed to find another way. Likewise, when Grand Duke Henri uses his legal right to withhold his sanction from a law, the right he thought Liberalism had conceded to his ancestors, the modern Constitution is seen for the illusion it is. He has the right for only so long as he does not actually use it.
This pattern of give and take rights is as old as the French Revolution which began by proclaiming Liberty for all and then proceeded to guillotine those who did not use that Liberty in the way the Committee for Public Safety thought they should (i.e. by apostatizing from the Faith). Liberalism means the right to be Liberal (as defined and redefined by the reigning generation of Liberals).
Fortunately for Grand Duke Henri, his confrontation with the old enemy cost him only his legitimate governing authority and not his head. Some Liberals have at least learned that the messy business of liberally severing heads always seems to turn on them, literally.
Still, the Grand Duke is to be commended for his fortitude. One can only imagine the subtle voices of temptation that were poured into his ears by the Machiavellian politicos. Just sanction the euthanasia law and avoid a constitutional crisis. and conserve your rights. You can compromise by expressing your personal disapproval but still promulgate the bill as the will of the legislature. This is not an issue worth loosing your privileges and rights over.
But no, Grand Duke Henris Catholic conscience was too well formed for these deceits. He refused and was duly reprimanded. Again, in an absurdity of contradiction, the new liberal article 34 will prevent the Grand Duke from acting in accordance with his conscience. Its terms require him to promulgate all laws, even those that violate his well formed conscience so much for freedom of conscience!
In lieu of tossing flowers to the Grand Duke as he makes his final bow on the decaying ruins of the theater of Christendom, I suggest all Remnant readers instead offer a rosary for His Highness that God, whose divine law leaves no good deed unrewarded and no evil deed unpunished, will bless him for his courage. While you are doing that, perhaps you can utter a prayer for the tiny population of Luxembourg who are now defenseless against the enactment of euthanasia laws and all the other gruesome ordinances of 21st Century Liberalism. These will all be possible now despite the will of their Grand Duke and, as in this case, even their own overwhelming sentiments. Libera nos ab potestate tyrannico liberalismi, Christus Rex.
No matter how much you may wish, and fantasize, there will be no return to the days when it was "Popes" and Roman Catholic Church officers/politicians, who get to pick who is king, and who is not.
The only King "christian" religious authorities have proper right to call upon, is the Lord.
They overstepped their bounds in "going secular", making themselves to be the worldly king-makers in the past. History richly illustrates the mixed bag that brought the world. Thanks for the thought, though. I realize you are just trying to help, but no thanks all the same...
You're being intentionally obtuse. Yes, there were pockets of communist sympathy in universities and such, but there was never any serious danger of communist government (even if some countries accepted something close to socialism). Contrast this with every other part of the world.
In the case of Australia, our Constitution first and foremost makes us a monarchy: The legislative power of the Commonwealth shall be vested in a Federal Parliament, which shall consist of the Queen, a Senate, and a House of Representatives, and which is hereinafter called The Parliament, or The Parliament of the Commonwealth.
(Commonwealth in this case refers to the Commonwealth of Australia - the British Commonwealth/Commonwealth of Nations did not exist in 1900 when our Constitution was written and so there was no need to elaborate).
From 1953, onwards, the Queen within Australia has been known as the Queen of Australia (until 1973, "Queen of Australia, the United Kingdom, and Her Other Realms and Territories", since then as "Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth".
To paraphrase from the Dune Series, one advantage of monarchy: "Good king = good government, bad king = bad government, solve bad government by killing the bad king".
And why do you think that is? Eastern Europe was also Christian, albeit their brand of Christianity was one that placed a lower value on reason. The Englightenment was just one part of a long Western tradition that has valued reason and humanism (which are not inherently in conflict with Christianity), and it was this tradition that resulted in our freedom.
Yes, number of Catholic monarchists growing slowly but steadily.
No matter how much you may wish, and fantasize, there will be no return to the days when it was "Popes" and Roman Catholic Church officers/politicians, who get to pick who is king, and who is not.
Before monarchies will be restored we will witness period of social-democratism turning into leftist totalitarianism. However the Holy Church of the Christ will overcome all obstacles as usual.
Please explain how this Catholic monarch will be chosen, and who will do the choosing.
There are several prophecies of the Great Catholic Monarch who will win the coming Civil War in Europe and rule 30-40 years until the coming of antichrist. Most all the saints say his name is Henri. He will be a military man of French and Belgium heritage although not necessarily a citizen of either country. He is estimated to be around 40 years old and may walk with a slight limp.
The Grand Duke fits the criteria except for the last two items. He is 53 y.o. and I don't know about the limp. It may indicate a future injury if this is him. He is of the House of Bourbon-Parma which, IIRC, is one of two contesting for the rightful throne of France. Not sure about the last part. I will have to go back and read again.
Just an interesting thought that occurred to me now. He is one to watch for the future.
You have it backwards. The US Constitution was written on September 17, 1787 and ratified on June 21, 1788. The storming of the Bastille did not occur until 1789. It was the French who were (badly) trying to copy the ideas of the US Revolution.
I think you are confusing the return of Christ, and the establishment of His Kingdom, with going back to the days when the Roman Catholic Church both propped up, or placed upon a throne earthly kings, along with occasionally toppling them also.
I am under no such illusions.
If we accept that monarchy will be established on the ruins of previous system then this is obvious that the new king will be chosen by God who give him courage to act and inspire some group of faithful Catholics to back his claims. This is the best interest of all member of the Church of the Christ to achieve this goal faster than every other leftist idiot willing to establish some dictatorship.
I think that your heretical claims will prevent us from reaching any agreement.
I agree the French Revolution was terrible, taking its humanism too far and focusing on the wrong Enlightenment values (equality rather than liberty). But as I said, the Enlightenment was not one monolithic movement, with both classically liberal and liberal/equality-focused branches. There's a lot of merit in the former.
I can't advocate a monarchy where any mortal is the monarch. Men -will- fail. So it's nice to have peaceful options to bring new folks in to leadership.
I am thinking something more along the lines of "term limits" rather than "monarchy"
If he tried to exert unelected authority over me, there would be only one decision for you and your Catholic followers to make about your monarch; closed or open casket.
I will adjust my aim accordingly.
Liberty means very little for most of Enlightenment worshippers. Their understanding of liberty is seriously flawed, this is rather libertine anarchy. Average citizen of late European kingdoms was freer than citizen of modern democratic state (or rather pseudo democratic, because if Switzerland would not exist I would say that democracy is a total utopia).
Read something from Hans Hermann Hoppe about "time preference" under monarchy and democracy (term limits).
I think that you would be free to vote by your foots...
The Lord's Kingdom is beyond the organizational & hierarchically bound & limited powers of men.
There are plenty in the Vatican who would not declare me a heretic for holding such views, nor would hurl the epithet for my speaking about various aspects of world history. Many there (I have faith) have deeper understanding of the Spirit, and the Word than I many times see exhibited here on FR threads, amongst certain [but not all] self-professing Catholics.
If you expect full agreement with what is your own limited understanding of true orthodoxy, then yes, we would most likely not be able to come to full agreement.
If that equates to "any agreement", it appears a shame that you would limit your own side of "things" so much.
I think you should come visit a Texas gun show sometime. There's enough ammo here to kill millions of theocrats, and enough of us to make sure your King was dead before he crossed the Red River.
PS thanks for giving gun shows a bad name. This from someone who goes to them often.
You are correct.
Thank you for the post Gonzo and thank you for the ping, Deb!
A theocrat who asserts his rule over me because he claims God crowned him monarch?
How could you expect me to not fight back.
I think it's amazing there's Freepers who believe this type of hokum. I'd just like to give the theocrats out there a heads up as to what will happen if you try to establish a dictatorial religious regime. You're no different than Ahmadinejad and you'll be dealt with as such.
Buzz off, jerk. I didn't assert anything about this fellow and God proclaiming his monarchy. And now you threaten me, after threatening him with an assassination?
Shut up, and go threaten someone who might be deserving.
"If we accept that monarchy will be established on the ruins of previous system then this is obvious that the new king will be chosen by God who give him courage to act and inspire some group of faithful Catholics to back his claims."
That's what my assassination comment was referring to.
My comments were in no way directed at the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, who in post #4 I called "a good guy."
It was a strong comment, but it was directed only at those who would forcibly establish an unelected dictatorial religious monarchy without the consent of the governed.

...but those countries most strongly influenced by the Enlightenment were the ones that stood most strongly against communism in the 20th century.Not hardly. France embraced the red movement as did much of Europe. Socialism was rampant during the 20th Century. Still is.
thanks for this article
THank you, if this is not pinged out by tomorrow I will. Actually I will admit at heart I am a monarchist...
I am a monarchist because I am a Conservative and a Christian. Monarchism is the only divinely-ordained system of government, and the only system of government that is based upon Conservative principles.
Exactly right, my friend. The International Revolution is moving toward its final phase. Only after it crashes and burns will order be restored and Christendom be revived.
We have to let man's ugly attempt at self-deification play out to the bitter end.
Don't let that get out...(grin).
The point, which you seem to have missed, is this:
The drive-by-media and the other leftists pitched a fit because a conservative office-holder exercised the rights and duties of his office. The same leftist groups then stripped the conservative office-holder of his authrority, despite the popular sentiment of the people.
Doesn't sound all that divinely ordained to me.
Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, "This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day." -1 Samuel 8:10-18
Doesn't sound all that pleasant either.
Both of you:
Well done.
"Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, 'This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.
"He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.' -1 Samuel 8:10-18"
Other than that the "king" now takes 4/10s of one's "grain," "vintage," and "flock," (unless you work for AIG, in which case he takes upwards of 9/10s) how is this much different than the present system?
Our republic, as established by the founders, was something of a bet, a gamble, that a people could truly govern itself with stability and that the nation-state of a self-governing people could be very long-lasting. The bet was that such a nation would not devolve into a democratic tyranny, an oligarchy or some sort of empire.
Here we are, a little more than two centuries later, and it seems that perhaps we will devolve into something that is a bit of all three.
Ping to 95.
A democracy of self-centered "idiots" will be far worse than any benevolent monarchy. As our founders knew all too well, democracy can only succeed when voters put their own limited self-interests behind those of future generations. Those who do not understand the need for sacrifice in self-governemnt vote in the welfare-state or socialistic fascism that inevitably destroys it.
You would be well advised to familiarize yourself with Plato's "The Republic" before casting insults like "extremely idiotic and stupid". Until then you describe no one but yourself.
Well, everything is wrong In his comment. Firstly Catholic Church is known from its respect to private property. So you could stay if you would wish. If you would see better alternatives for yourself aboard then you could vote by your foots. Of course if you would publicly question and contest his right to rule then your future become less colorful. In this case there is no difference between political systems, if you want to change status quo, you risk your life.
Secondary, this is really democratic illusion that you think that state is yours. I have a piece of advice for you. If this state is yours indeed, why dont you change it as you wish??? Just dont tell me about public property, this is slogan from communist handbooks.
Thirdly political science recognize monarchy and dictatorship to be separate political systems with various consequences in short-term and long-term perspective.
I think you should come visit a Texas gun show sometime. There's enough ammo here to kill millions of theocrats, and enough of us to make sure your King was dead before he crossed the Red River.
Im not a theocrats, Catholic monarchs are secular rulers. Im afraid that you imagine of tradition Catholic monarchy is far from reality. On other hand I support modern model upgraded by scientific achievements (on all fields) of modern times.

Non-irritating plant extract from the gourd family (think pumpkin) that's often reputed to be useful for puffy eyes. Claims of cucumber having anti-inflammatory or soothing properties are anecdotal, as there is no research to support this contention. However, there is research showing that the lutein component of cucumber can help suppress melanogenesis, the process that leads to skin discolorations. Also there is in vitro research showing that the constituents in cucumber can help protect skin against carcinogenic substances that cause tumors. [1, 2]
Most types of cucumber are composed of 95% water; the other constituents are primarily ascorbic acid (vitamin C), caffeic acid (an antioxidant), the mineral silica, plus other trace minerals. Like most plants, cucumber contains chemical constituents that have some amount of antioxidant activity. Cucumber does not contain fragrant components known to be irritating to skin. [3, 4]

Image Tagging Image:Kylefield_BRZ.JPG[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Kylefield_BRZ.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

Tip: Categorizing images[edit]
Hello, Oldag07!
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
- [[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
- [[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
- [[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image.
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Anonymous Satire of Koch Industries Prevails
In December 2010, a Koch Industries press release spoof (Scribd; alt: screencap) was posted on a website that mimicked the appearance of the official site for Koch Industries. The press release stated that Koch would no longer support research and advocacy initiatives that denied or questioned the human role in climate change. The press release was quickly identified as a hoax, and both the fake press release and site disappeared quickly, yet the Koch company pursued the identities of those behind the stunt, going as far as to file a lawsuit to expose the anonymous pranksters as part of a larger lawsuit. This past Monday, the lawsuit was thrown out of court in Utah, with the judge citing that parody is not commercial speech, and thus a First Amendment issue. [more inside]

Jurors have a power so secret even they may not know about it.
Jury nullification, a situation in which jurors acquit in a criminal trial even if the facts favor conviction (often because the jurors disagree with the law), is of ancient provenance in the Anglo-American legal tradition. Courts are ambivalent towards it, regarding it both as quasi-illegal (they'll remove jurors if they catch them during the attempt) and as something that they cannot overturn once it happens. Nullification has furthered many causes, from anti-death-penalty to pro-southern-lynchings. Lawyers can't mention it in court on pain of contempt, but some hope to educate people in other ways.

Souter to retire
NPR is reporting that Supreme Court Justice David Souter will retire at the end of the current Court term, pending the approval of a replacement to be appointed by President Obama. Appointed by President George H.W. Bush in 1990, Souter's replacement will presumably maintain the balance of ascribed "left-leaning" to "right-leaning" justices at 4-5, but will increase the number of justices on the bench appointed by a Democratic president to 3. At 69, Souter is in fact the youngest of the so-called "left-leaning" justices currently on the bench.

He is currently facing his own obscenity case as well, having allowed public access to NSFW or illegal-for-minor-viewing material posted on his own vanity website, as reported in the LA Times. Although he maintains that the material's posting was just innocent fun, he clearly knows his way around the internets. Kozinski is a prolific and well-regarded essayist, and is occasionally mentioned as a potential Supreme Court nominee.
Pretty Good Pornography
A Magistrate Judge in the U.S. District Court in Vermont has ruled that a man allegedly caught with child pornography on his laptop need not reveal his PGP password (yes, authorities shut down the laptop and now can't get at the alleged porn) pursuant to the Fifth Amendment's protections against self incrimination. The decision is here[PDF]. A decent write-up (from CNET of all places) is here. This appears to be the first decision ever to directly address this issue, and many commentators had thought it would come out differently. The major question is whether revealing one's PGP key is "testimonial" or not. According to the Supreme Court, giving up fingerprints or blood samples isn't, nor is standing for a lineup, nor is handing over the key to a safe, but if it's combination safe, well maybe that's different. Never let it be said that your Fifth Amendment rights are easy.

Fear of a Left Planet
It's the first Monday in October and time for Supreme Court Justices to compare liberals, unfavorably, to the Ku Klux Klan. In his new memoir, released on the first day of the Supreme Court's 2007 term, Justice Clarence Thomas writes that he grew up fearing the KKK, but now knows he had "been afraid of the wrong white people all along. My worst fears had come to pass not in Georgia but in Washington, D.C., where I was being pursued not by bigots in white robes but by left-wing zealots draped in flowing sanctimony. " No small man, he also comments on Anita Hill's bad breath. Slate's spectacular legal columnist, Dahlia Lithwick, notes that "in the few hundred pages of his new book, Thomas has managed to undo years of effort by his colleagues to depoliticize the judicial branch." As usual, only Jon Stewart can make us laugh through the tears.

Pearson for "various calculations of damages that go as high as $67 million" over "a pair of allegedly missing pants." The other shoe is yet to drop. Judge Bartnoff ruled that Pearson must pay the defendants' court costs and will consider forcing Pearson to pay the defendants' attorneys' fees. ( previously.)
New Supreme Court Opinions
A very big day for the Supreme Court. In Morse v. Fredrick, the Court ruled that a school could suspend a child for holding up a "Bong HiTs for Jesus" banner. (Previous post here). In Hein v. Freedom from Religion, the Court held that taxpayers lacked standing to challenged Faith Based Initiatives (previous discussions). In Wilke v. Robbins, the Court held that land owners do not have Bivens claims if the federal government harasses landowners for easements. In FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life, the Court held that the portion of the campaign finance law which had blackout periods before elections on issue advocacy advertising was an unconstitutional restriction of speech (other). This Thursday, the Justices will deliver their last opinions of the term, including a death penalty case and the school assignment cases. (Opinions are .pdfs)
You've all been so kind. Can I go now?
The first Gitmo trial has ended, but not before the defendant was stripped of two of his attorneys. Detainee #002 entered a guilty plea and will serve 9 months in an Australian prison. In return, he signed a statement stipulating that he had never been tortured or mistreated by the Americans -- despite previously reporting being beaten and deprived of sleep during his more than five years at the prison. The agreement bars him from suing the U.S. government for alleged abuse, forfeits any right to appeal, and imposes a gag order that prevents him speaking with news media for a year.
Eric Volz, an American, is serving 30 years for a murder he did not commit. His DNA didn't match any of the evidence found at the crime scene, and there's plenty of very serious evidence showing that he didn't commit it (such as the fact that he was in a town two hours away while the murder was being done.) This needs as much media attention as possible. (First link is a Youtube video)

Federal Appeals Court: Driving With Money is a Crime.
Federal Appeals Court opinion "We respectfully disagree and reach a different conclusion... Possession of a large sum of cash is 'strong evidence' of a connection to drug activity." Even if no evidence of a drug related crime is provided, you are guilty until proven innocent. BTW, they wont return the money.
Best. Judicial. Ruling. EVER.
Bradshaw v. Unity Marine Corp., Inc. (147 F.Supp.2d 668) "Both attorneys have obviously entered into a secret pact--complete with hats, handshakes and cryptic words--to draft their pleadings entirely in crayon on the back sides of gravy-stained paper place mats, in the hope that the Court would be so charmed by their child-like efforts that their utter dearth of legal authorities in their briefing would go unnoticed. Whatever actually occurred, the Court is now faced with the daunting task of deciphering their submissions. With Big Chief tablet readied, thick black pencil in hand, and a devil-may-care laugh in the face of death, life on the razor's edge sense of exhilaration, the Court begins."
Don't think citizen, you may have to pay royalties!
Today SCOTUS will hear a case to decide the scope of what can and cannot be patented. At the heart of this case lies the decision about whether a patent can validly include a step of 'correlating a test result' that arguably monopolises a basic scientific relationship used in medical treatment 'such that any doctor necessarily infringes the patent merely by thinking about the relationship after looking at a test result.' If as expected the court uses this as an opportunity to reign in the scope of what can be patented this will surely be a victory for common sense.
Online election results will be available after the polls close in British Columbia at 7pm PST. Bloggers have been warned not to post early results from the east before the polls close in British Columbia. CBC explains.
It appears that US-hosted websites ProAlberta and Captain's Quarters will be wilfully violating the Canada Elections Act and posting early results. Andew Coyne has suggested that posters to his website "[pretend] to report the results from some election in a foreign or imaginary land."
Paul Bryan was fined $1000 for posting early results from the 2000 election and is currently appealing to the Supreme Court. Previously discussed here and here.

The End of Porn?
The End of Porn? The Ashcroft/Gonzales Justice Department has made obscenity prosecutions a top priority, with 60 prosecutions in the first four years of the Bush administration (compared to four for the entire eight years of the Clinton administration). Anti-porn advocates were dismayed in January when a federal judge in Pittsburgh, citing dicta on sexual liberty in the Supreme Court's Lawrence v. Texas decision, dismissed an indictment in a closely-watched case. Today, however, the Third Circuit reversed, rejecting the defendant's arguments that (1) Lawrence protected their liberty interest in distributing pornographic material, and (2) earlier Supreme Court obscenity precedent should be revisited in light of the increased prevalence of Internet transmission. The result, undoubtedly, will be a new wave of prosecutions not seen since the Supreme Court set limits on First-Amendment based protections in the 1970s.

Astrology is scientific theory
Creationist author Michael Behe: "Astrology is a scientific theory". If, that is, you use his definition of theory. Behe, you may recall, is the grand high poobah of "intelligent design", the theory that states that somebody (who totally doesn't have to be God)
created designed all life on Earth. It seems the latest iteration of the Scopes Monkey Trial isn't going so well for Mr. Behe. Even the courtroom audience is laughing at him.

Supreme Court Round-up for 6/27/05
The Supreme Court's Big Day
The court chose not to review the controversy surrounding "reporter's privilege" in withholding the names of confidential sources; meaning reporters may continue to be jailed or fined for refusing to name sources in court.
In Brand-X, the Court decided 6-3 that cable providers did not have to allow competitors to access their lines (the way DSL companies do). FCC opponents had been hopeful the Court would find the other way, opening new markets for competition and service options.
The Court ruled one of two Ten Commandment displays are unconstitutional. The decalogue display on a courthouse wall in Kentucky was found 5-4 to be an unconstitutional endorsement of religion because it was serving a religious purpose. However, the Ten Commandments display on the grounds of Texas' state capitol were found to be constitutional.
The Court finally decided the MGM v Grokster case. The Court found unanimously that the file sharing service can be held liable for the copyright infringement of their users.

Miranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr in White Mango Jeans
Miranda Kerr shows off her figure at a press conference for Mango. Miranda recently was announced as the new face of the brand, so it's only natural that she was wearing a pair of Mango jeans at the conference.
Miranda wore them with a white blazer and tank top. I think this outfit is really chic, the way the jeans are paired with a blazer makes them dressier. We don't see too many pairs of really shredded jeans lately, I wonder if they'll start making a comeback.

Miranda Kerr in Frame Le Luxe Noir Skinny Jeans in Black
Miranda Kerr was spotted arriving at LAX in Los Angeles, California before heading over to the Craig Ferguson show early last week. The Victoria's Secret Model wore a pair of Frame Le Luxe Noir Skinny Jeans in Black with a Balenciaga Leather Jacket and some flat ankle boots.
Frame is a brand that instantly caught my interest when I saw them on Net-A-Porter a few weeks back. Even though their styles are clean and classic, I found myself stopping at every style when I was scrolling through the site. There is something about them that I just can't pinpoint that I find appealing. You can click here to get a pair yourself and see the other styles at Net-A-Porter.
Miranda Kerr in Helmut Lang Leather Leggings
Miranda Kerr was spotted out on a walk with her son Flynn in New York. She donned a pair of Helmut Lang Leather Leggings with an Isabel Marant coat and some Barbara Bui Boots.
These leggings are a popular one amongst the Victoria's Secret models this month. I have seen them on at least four of them the past couple of weeks and I am sure we will be getting more sightings soon. You can click here to purchase these jeans from the Helmut Lang website for $920.
Miranda Kerr in Frame Denim Le Skinny Mid Rise Jeans
Miranda Kerr was seen running some errands while out and about in Manhattan in New York City earlier this morning.
Miranda chose to wear a new denim brand on the market, Frame Denim. She opted for their Le Skinny Mid Rise jeans which she paired with a grey coat, a white blouse and some nude pumps. I have noticed the little details on these jeans, like the embroidered F at the hip seam and the really flattering cut. I hope that Frame Denim becomes popular! I don't know how she's walking across that grate in stilettos though, ha ha. You can buy these jeans online at Net-A-Porter for $189.

Transit agencies are able to operate at a loss during low-demand periods because they operate transit at a profit during peak periods. Regulators allow transit monopolies in exchange for the guaranteed service on low-ridership routes, which for-profit transport providers like UberHop are unlikely to consider.
The public is justified in asking our politicians what taxpayers will receive in response. Is this going to be another report that sits on a shelf, or will the political level now address the systemic issues that gave rise to the rot and corruption that so enthralled those who followed the proceedings?
Kevin O'Leary has created an entire persona around a sort of modern-day Gordon Gekko. O'Leary is fond of and famous for employing phrases like "it's all about the money," "people only care about money," and "money makes the world go round." To put it mildly, this is a superficial, even one-dimensional understanding of markets.

Stuff Your Mug With Bread Pudding (And Bourbon) For A Cause!
Hayes Valley is about to get a little tastier next month with the opening of Schulzies Bread Pudding. Intrigued? Us, too.
The first S.F. outpost for the Venice-based company will be flinging open its doors in mid-February, but if you can't wait that long to sample the offerings of a business solely (brilliantly) focused on bread pudding, we've got a treat in store for you tomorrow night. That's when the folks behind Schulzies will be setting up shop at SoMa watering hole Bloodhound with a "Bread Pudding, Bourbon, and Beer" event, benefitting Strive For, a local youth-mentoring non-profit.
For $6 a pop you can taste a "flight" of bread pudding flavors, including the likes of Butter Me Up Biscotti, Chocolate Coconut Love, Badass Banana Chocolate, and others. Meanwhile, that flight can be paired with bourbon for $15. And you can knock a dollar off of either of those options if you mention Refinery29 when you're ordering. You are welcome.
Oh, and another event bonus: It'll be the debut of a custom Isotope Comics flavor, named after Schulzies new S.F. neighbor. Also, if you want to master bread pudding in your home kitchen, make sure you mark your calendar for February 18, when Schulzies founder Sarah Schulz will be giving a "Forget your pies, it's time for pudding" demo at Bloomingdale's.
When: Wednesday, January 18, 8 p.m.
Where: Bloodhound, 1145 Folsom Street (between 7th and 8th streets); 415-863-2840.

The Conquest of a Continent: Siberia and the Russians / Edition 1by Bruce Lincoln
Pub. Date: 05/28/2004
Publisher: Cornell University Press
"In The Conquest of a Continent, the historian W. Bruce Lincoln details Siberia's role in Russian history, one remarkably similar to that of the frontier in the development of the United States. . . . It is a big, panoramic book, in keeping with the immensity of its subject."Chicago Tribune"Lincoln is a compelling writer whose chapters are colorful snapshots of Siberia's past and present. . . . The Conquest of a Continent is a vivid narrative that will inform and entertain the broader reading public."American Historical Review"This story includes Genghis Khan, who sent the Mongols warring into Russia; Ivan the Terrible, who conquered Siberia for Russia; Peter the Great, who supported scientific expeditions and mining enterprises; and Mikhail Gorbachev, whose glasnost policy prompted a new sense of 'Siberian' nationalism. It is also the story of millions of souls who themselves were conquered by Siberia. . . . Vast riches and great misery, often intertwined, mark this region."The Wall Street JournalStretching from the Urals to the Arctic Ocean to China, Siberia is so vast that the continental United States and Western Europe could be fitted into its borders, with land to spare. Yet, in only six decades, Russian trappers, cossacks, and adventurers crossed this huge territory, beginning in the 1580s a process of conquest that continues to this day. As rich in resources as it was large in size, Siberia brought the Russians a sixth of the world's gold and silver, a fifth of its platinum, a third of its iron, and a quarter of its timber. The conquest of Siberia allowed Russia to build the modern world's largest empire, and Siberia's vast natural wealth continues to play a vital part in determining Russia's place in international affairs.Bleak yet romantic, Siberia's history comes to life in W. Bruce Lincoln's epic telling. The Conquest of a Continent, first published in 1993, stands as the most comprehensive and vivid account of the Russians in Siberia, from their first victories over the Mongol Khans to the environmental degradation of the twentieth century. Dynasties of incomparable wealth, such as the Stroganovs, figure into the story, as do explorers, natives, gold seekers, and the thousands of men and women sentenced to penal servitude or forced labor in Russia's great wilderness prisonhouse.

Historical Traveler Reviews Newport Beach Hotel & Suites
Perfectly fine
i stayed at the inn at newport beach for 1 night in april with my husband and 14 yr old. we checked in with a pleasant front desk clerk who asked if we wanted a 2 room suite for no extra charge! the hotel is old and slightly run down looking but fine. the suite was acceptable and we had an ocean view from both rooms. the morning continental breakfast was perfect. Some of the earlier complaints was that it is not right on the beach. this is true and you do have to walk across a road to get to the beach. it is on the outskirts of newport so the walk into town is a long one. We were looking at St. George's prep school and the closeness was perfect for us. It is near the mansions and would be a fine hotel if the price is right for you otherwise look for something in the heart of newport.
Average Hotel - Fair Price
Let me first thank everyone for there candid reviews. I stayed at the Inn at Newport Beach this past weekend 2/18/05 - 2/21/05. The hotel as many other people pointed out, is not directly on the beach as the website picture suggests. It is located directly across from the beach on the north side of Memorial Highway. The Hotel is however the closest hotel to the beach in the Newport area from what I can sees I have been to Newport many times and stayed just about everywhere. This has included stays at the Marriott, Hotel Viking, Vanderbilt Hall, The Chandler Inn, and many other higher end hotels/inns as well. The following is my review of the hotel:
- The hotel is a very affordable hotel and was very clean and a good value for the money.
- The rooms are basic but clean. They are about the equivilent of a Days Inn.
- The shower was actually great. Very hot and good water pressure. I found nothing wrong with the showers
- Food/Breakfast. The food was edible and continental as the website suggested. It was perfect to satisfy you after waking up on your way out the door the day. It was certainly not a full breakfast or anything fancy but decent considering it was "FREE"
- The location was great it was very close to the mansions yet far enough away from downtown touris area of downtown. It was a five minute drive or cab ride to downtown shopping and restaurants.
- The view was great. I had a room overlooking the bay and it was beautiful to look at in the evening or in the morning when the sun came up. .
- The help were very accomdating and extremely pleasent for my entire stay.
The hotel is a Days Inn from the 30's It was a fairly decent hotel for the price and in the summertime it would be he best place to be for the beach. If you are someone who is going to Newport for a romantic getaway and high end treatment this is NOT the place for you. If you plan on not being in the room and want to get away for a cheap weekend and still enjoy all Newport has to offer, this place will do you fine. Enjoy your stay if you dare otherwise best of luck with your stay at Vanderbilt Hall and/or The Chandler Inn.
Good Luck
Perfectly fine!
We spent Thanksgiving of 2004 here and thought the hotel was just fine. It was clean and well kept up, if a little worn around the edges. (The building is 60+ years old, after all!) We did request a different room due to a leaky shower in the first room we were given, and the front desk staff was very gracious and accomodating. The continental breakfast was also good, with plenty of variety and nothing stale as far as I could tell! The hotel was wonderfully quiet, even with a busy street right outside, and the beds were very comfy, too. (I slept like a rock all three nights we were there.) Also, I have dreadful dust and mold allergies and developed no symptoms at all staying there. It was a good "base of operations" for our sightseeing as it was very convenient to downtown Newport and the Bellevue Ave mansions, and the ocean was just steps away from the front door. This is a great place to stay if you are looking for someplace quiet and cozy, and we would happily stay there again.
Old hotel on busy street....water problems...but was clean!
I am planning another trip back to Newport for the weekend, and came across the reviews for this place. I stayed here the weekend before Christmas in 2003. It was not at all what I expected. The hotel is pictured as though it is beachfront...this is not the case! It is across from a very busy street, and then there is a public parking lot, and THEN the beach!
My husband and I stayed in a jacuzzi room, and it looked really great when we got there..the room was a good size and it was very clean. Then we attempted to fill the jacuzzi and there was slightly brown-tinted water coming out. Same with the shower! When we called down to the desk, we were told to let it run for 10 minutes first. By this time, the water was barely warm, and still had tints of brown. We had to let it run a solid 20 minutes before it was clear enough to shower. I was not comfortable sitting in the jacuzzi... the collection of that much water showed the brown even more!
We had booked with Priceline - so we were stuck with the room. I would NEVER stay here again. The room itself wasn't that bad -it was very clean, and breakfast was a nice touch, but the brown water isn't something I would want to deal with again.
Worth the price
Well worth the money
If you like to spend more for three times the price you can go to the wharf and pay $20 just for parking.
The rooms have great views of the ocean across the street and it is great to have coffee in the morning.
A great place for runners.
You can go one block and pay $1,200 per night for a room if you like something more elegant.
Never again!
The indifference and plain rudeness of the staff and management ruined a great weekend. Making it worse, they charged top dollar for what were clearly mediocre accomodations. Despite the clever photography on their publicity shot, the beach is actually across a busy street. Would never stay here again.
Satisfied for the money
The Inn was not what I pictured (the website looks like you're right on the beach, but you're really across the street from Easton Beach (a small public beach) but the rooms were clean (a bit small) and the bathroom was very nice for the price we paid (which was fairly cheap compared to other hotels on the same dates). The staff was very nice, parking was free. The location was great, we had a view of the Cliff Walk and mansions from the inn and the ocean was right across the street. Bellevue Ave (mansions) was a 3 minute drive away and the wharf area was 5 minutes away. The free breakfast was bagels, muffins and instant cereal with juice and fresh fruit. If you're not spending a lot of time in the room, it serves it's function. If you're looking for romantic, you may want to choose a bed and breakfast.
Worst Stay I've Ever Had
During my stay, I had no hot water, a noisy, busy street-side room, and a stale continental breakfast. To top it all off, someone caught a mouse in the restaurant while I was eating breakfast one morning. I would NOT recommend staying here.
Excellent clean and great deal!
We have stayed many times at the Inn at Newport Beach. Between the Summer and Winter and Spring and Fall. The rooms are very clean and the staff are very helpful. The FREE contin. breakfast is very nice. You have your choice of many types of coffee, bagels muffins danish cereal hot or cold. Not sure why anyone would complain about it. On top of all this you can run down in the morning and grab anything and if you don't want to stay in the dining room you can bring it back to your room.
Newport Inn at the end of September
The Inn at Newport Beach was very nice but unfortunatley the free continental breakfast left a lot to be desired. i would stay here again but only after the summer rush.
