Trump Posts Text of 8th Amendment. As constitutional experts have noted, the fine is extraordinary, not only because of its unprecedented size, but also because it punishes Trump for a fraud conviction, in which no one was actually defrauded.

The Lieb Cast tackles a critical discussion on the U.S. Supreme Court's upcoming decision regarding the constitutionality of banning homeless camping in Grants Pass, Oregon. This case, has united both liberal and conservative leaders. The Cast discusses the legal and ethical implications of this pivotal case. 

IS IT AN 8TH AMENDMENT VIOLATION TO BAN SLEEPING ON THE STREETS? That is the question that was just heard by the US Supreme Court in a case called City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson. The city of Grants Pass in Oregon banned sleeping on the streets with so much as a blanket in an effort to get homeless people to move along. The people sued, and the 9th Circuit agreed with them. Grants Pass has appealed, and now the Supremes will make a huge ruling that will hopefully clarify what the responsibilities of cities trying to get homelessness under control can and can't do. This case is EXTREMELY important and I've got Mark Miller, Senior Attorney from the Pacific Legal Foundation on to discuss it at 1.

       Slam the Gavel welcomes back Patriot Parents to discuss their update to their case. They were last on the podcast October 25th, 2022 Season 3, Episode 140. They discussed the march  against CPS corruption. Patriot Mom discussed the retaliation they both have endured after filing a Mass Tort Federal Lawsuit on the County, but went into default, as well as discussing how the Governor terminated the Commissioner. There have been 3 false allegations placed on Patriot Dad.    We discussed the fear tactics used in Texas against Patriot Dad, as he was driving to the gym and police pulled him over as he was surrounded by 16 US Marshalls, taken to Jail. Patriot Dad asserted his 8th Amendment Rights as they kept him in Suicide Watch for 24 hours and had to beg for his phone call. Bond was set at $50,000.00 and was able to go home the next day. This is just is just a taste of Texas justice system.    Patriot Mom and Dad explained that CPS is a 53 billion dollar a year business as they separate children from their parents as well as dividing spouses. Patriot Mom gave excellent advice, "be strong for your spouse undergoing false allegations and be strong for your children." Patriot Mom and Dad discussed the help they have received from the NLPA (National League Professional Association). HB 19 is very damming to the Veterans, discrimination noted to Veterans.     Patriot Dad  recommends that you do no "consent to waive your right to a SPEEDY trial, and if the attorney motions for an extension he is waiving your right."  New trial date June 12th. There is a limitation when you can hold a "speedy" trial from the time of indictment to trial is 3 years. May be able to move to vacate the case on June 13th 2023, as it is unconstitutional.      You can contact Patriot Mom and Dad through dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comHere is the link for the NLPA:https://nlpa.com/Texas Constitution; Article 15:  https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CN/htm/CN.15.htmSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)https://www.buzzsprout.com/1364944/subscribehttp://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/Support the showSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/

Guys, we made it a whole year!

A hodgepodge of cases are discussed, including one about a lawyer who is obsessed with some goats, but also things like the 8th Amendment.Music cred: http://www.bensounds.com

In this episode, Ms. Rosensweig discusses the landmark ruling in Martin v. Boise, a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals case which determined that it is an unconstitutional violation of one's 8th amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment when a homeless person is charged with a crime for sleeping outside.  Ms. Rosensweig will discuss the case itself, the cases that the 9th circuit relied upon in coming to its decision and what the real-life consequences are of such a decision on cities that are dealing with significant homelessness issues.  Ms. Rosensweig will also explain the arguments that are made by the City of Boise in its recent petition to the Supreme Court to have it overrule the 9th Circuit Court's decision.  Is arresting a homeless person for sleeping outside when they have nowhere to go reasonable or is it cruel and unusual? What if certain people are homeless by choice and do have somewhere to seek shelter?  What about the health and safety concerns that arise when large amounts of people are sleeping outside?  And, what about the residential neighborhoods and businesses that are affected? Ms. Rosensweig discusses these delicate issues and more in this episode. 

In one of three bitterly-fought denials for rehearing en banc, the 9th Circuit let stand a ruling protecting homeless individuals from prosecution for sleeping in public spaces, when no shelter is available. But six dissenters called the decision 'badly misguided,' and another order 'absurd.' Professor Arthur Hellman visits first to discuss the use of 'dissentals' in this context, which one judge says is a lamentable 9th Circuit innovation that creates 'distorted presentations' of cases. Then, Public Counsel's Mark Rosenbaum discusses the legal and policy points of the public sleeping ruling, and its impact on LA's approach to its homelessness crisis.

A mock trial based upon Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth featuring law students from Golden Gate University, California Western School of Law, and the University of Kentucky. Recorded live at San Diego Comic Fest on March 9, 2019. Overview of Facts:  Harvey Dent had his silver dollar taken away as part of his treatment at Arkham Asylum. Psychotherapist Ruth Adams claimed Dent was being “cured” of his obsession with duality. Dent's treatment was replacing his coin with a six-sided die and then Tarot cards. Dr. Adams next stage of treatment was to introduce Dent to I-Ching. Dr. Adams believed Dent would have a completely functional judgment facility that did not result in black and white absolutes.Result of Treatment: Dent was unable to make basic decisions, such as when to go to the bathroom. The treatment left Dent hollow and sitting under a table the day the inmates took over asylum.  The Lawsuit: Attorneys retained by the Wayne Foundation have brought 42 U.S.C.S. 1983 lawsuit against Arkham Asylum, the late Arkham Administrator Charles Cavendish, Dr. Ruth Adams, and DOES 1-50, claiming that Harvey Dent's treatment violated the 8th and 14th Amendments. Dent's attorneys have claimed Dr. Cavendish and Dr. Adams demonstrated a “deliberate indifference to a prisoner's serious illness” and subjected Dent to "the unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain" by taking away his coin. Attorneys for the state have brought a summary judgment motion on the grounds that Dent's coin was not taken away as a form of punishment, but a form of treatment.Attorneys retained by the Wayne Foundation on Dent's behalf have brought suit against Arkham Asylum, the late Arkham Administrator Charles Cavendish, Dr. Ruth Adams, and DOES 1-50, claiming that Dent's treatment violated the 8th Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The Defendants have argued that Dent's coin was not taken away as a form of punishment, but a form of treatment.Arguments by Parties The Plaintiffs are seeking a preliminary instruction against Arkham Asylum to cease any treatments on Harvey Dent that deprive him of his coin. The Plaintiff will argue that Arkham Asylum, the late Arkham Administrator Charles Cavendish, and Dr. Ruth Adams, were all deliberately indifferent to Harvey Dent's medical condition, that the treatment amounted to cruel and unusual punishment, and that a preliminary injunction is needed in order to prevent further cruelty to Harvey Dent.   The Defendants oppose the motion on the grounds that Harvey Dent's treatment was not punishment or deliberate indifference to the patient's medical needs, therefore there is not a likelihood of success on the merits, risk of irreparable harm, the balance of equities and hardships do not tip in the plaintiff's favor, and an injunction is not in the public interest.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thelegalgeeks)

8th Amendment prohibition on excessive fines IS incorporated against states via the 14th amendment.

Across the world, women are fighting for the right to safely terminate pregnancies. On May 25th, 69% of Irish voters repealed constitutional ban on abortion in the republic of Ireland. Audrey Bean, Megan Harry and Hannah Judson report on a historic moment in Irish culture.

This Week At The Earth Wants YOU! Reverend Billy and Savitri D, bring in Mark and Emer, two young Irish people who flew home to vote in the recent momentous referendum to Repeal the 8th Amendment in Ireland which prohibited abortion. We also discuss the battle to Save Union Square, the tactics which were used and the creative actions that took place. We have the Irish Pine Martin as our extinct animal and Reverend Billy answers questions on the Trump Depression Hotline.

In the lead up to the referendum on the 8th amendment, Jane spoke with Rachel O'Sullivan, writer, mother and activist, about child protection issues and how the graphic imagery/slogans on No campaign posters put her in an impossible position as a parent when trying to explain the complexities of abortion to her young children.

Ireland has voted by a landslide to end its near-total abortion ban. We hear the voices of victorious campaigners in Dublin Castle in the moments when the result was announced. Naomi O'Leary and Tim Mc Inerney discuss the historic moment in a Dublin pub. We ask what this means for Ireland, what it means for the world, and whether Northern Ireland is next.

This is a slightly more condensed episode in which the TF crew discusses an idiotic Sunday Times piece about 'hipster fascists,' but more importantly it's an episode centred on the campaign in Ireland to repeal the 8th Amendment. Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) speak with journalist Sirin Kale (@thedalstonyears) about Irish abortion laws, the impending referendum, and whether or not the uniforms of the royal wedding were inspired by Steven Seagal. If you're in Ireland and can vote, make sure to do so — unless you're going to vote incorrectly, in which case you should bin yourself immediately. Please remember that, in these trying and dark times, you can always commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from Lil' Comrade (http://www.lilcomrade.com/).

Nate (@inthesedeserts) produced this from a British politics exclave in sunny Brooklyn, New York, where everyone is in fact walkin' here.

May 25th is fast approaching and in this week’s episode, Niamh Maher is joined by members of the Her editorial and social creative teams as we take a look back at our coverage of this historic referendum. We’re discussing our Facts or Fiction series, examining what abortion will look like in Ireland IF the 8th Amendment is repealed, and one of our writers who ordered abortion pills online shares her story. Niamh also travels to the UK to interview a representative from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service.

Ireland is fighting it out on whether or not to remove its constitutional abortion ban in a referendum on May 25. We investigate how tactics seen in the Trump and Brexit campaigns have come to Ireland, turning it into a battleground for progressive and conservative forces in a global culture war. Naomi O'Leary's deep dive into Facebook advertising with journalist and transparency campaigner Gavin Sheridan leads us down a rabbit hole that leads to Houston, Texas. Tim Mc Inerney asks Minister of State for the Diaspora, Ciaran Cannon, whether the strict abortion laws he supports is causing young women to emigrate. We hear from a 23-year-old who spends his spare time knocking door-to-door in Wicklow to keep abortion illegal in Ireland. And we meet the woman behind "In Her Shoes", the Facebook page that has caused a viral outpouring of confessions from women who have suffered under the 8th Amendment. Special thanks to Aine O'Neill.

Episode 22 features analysis on the election of Mary Lou McDonald as the new leader of Sinn Féin. I provide opinions and commentary on how she can lead the party moving forward and rebrand Sinn Féin under her leadership. I address the series of bullying allegations levelled against Sinn Féin and how the party dealt with former MP Barry McElduff being accused of mocking the victims of the Kingsmill massacre. I take a look at the Eighth Amendment referendum scheduled to take place this year. I dissect the upcoming Irish presidential election as the current Irish President Michael D. Higgins is now in the final year of his term in office. I also take a look at the potential candidates. Plus, I evaluate the current state of Irish politics including how Fine Gael and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar have dealt with some of the biggest issues facing the country such as the Brexit negotiations.

Panel of guests discuss 8th Amendment - Rural Broadband - Nigel Farage - Disclosures Tribunal

"Trust Women and Repeal the 8th Amendment!" In this week’s Sparking Change With Dil, we are discussing the Repeal of the 8th Amendment: What we know; what we don’t know and (Spoiler Alert!) The 8th Amendment is not just about Abortion! We are joined by some of those at the frontlines of the debate around the 8th amendment, and we discuss the way in which the amendment affects us all, regardless of our ethnic, social or religious background, and most importantly, what the 8th amendment actually is! In our first segment we have, Ailbhe Smyth, who has been at the forefront of social issues as a campaigner for LGBTQ+ rights, and the Repeal movement, to tell us how the movement has changed since the 1970s! Then Lucy Peprah of AIMS Ireland, Claudia Gichuhi of Migrant and Ethnic-minorities for Reproductive Justice (MERJ), Emily Waszak, one of the co-organisers of Strike 4 Repeal, and Jane Xavier of the Au Pair Rights Association will be with us to discuss the pressing issues surrounding maternal healthcare facing migrant women in Ireland, as we reflect on the death of Savita Halapanavar, and Malak Thawley. Finally, we speak to actor and writer Megan O’Malley about her new play ‘Home’, in which a young woman is put on trial when a Tinder date results in an unexpected pregnancy.

Claire was joined in studio by Seán Kyne, Fine Gael TD for Galway West, Anne Rabbitte, Fianna Fáil TD for Galway East, Richard Boyd Barrett, Solidarity-PBP TD for Dun Laoghaire, Noel Whelan, Barrister and Political Commentator and Sarah Bardon, Political Reporter with The Irish Times, and on the phone by Fianna Fail TD John McGuinness.

This week on The Floating Voter Niall O' Connor is joined in studio Nicola Anderson and Philip Ryan and Shona Murray live from Brussels, and Senator Catherine Noone Chairperson of the Oireachteas committee on the 8th amendment joins us in studio to discuss the outcome of last nights vote from the repeal committee, and some controversial comments from Independent TD Mattie McGrath. Shauna Murry is on the line live from Brussels to bring us up to date with the latest happenings in the Brexit negotiations, and we ask is this the beginning of the end for Theresa Mays government.

This week, there were three Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI opinion polls. This morning's asked respondents whether or not they would vote to change the constitution in relation to the Eighth Amendment. Earlier in the week, we took the temperature of the electorate and found a five point surge in support for Fine Gael, while yesterday's poll focused on Brexit. Pat Leahy and Hugh Linehan provide an analysis of the results.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar held a number of press conferences throughout Storm Ophelia, did live interviews and donned a high-vis jacket to assess the resulting damage in its aftermath. On today's podcast, Pat Leahy, Sarah Bardon and Harry McGee from the politics team join Hugh Linehan to discuss the government’s disaster response and compare it to that of previous years. The panel also discuss the Oireachtas committee examining the Eighth Amendment, the Fianna Fáil ardfheis last weekend and the upcoming EU summit where Brexit will take centre stage.

Episode 12 focuses on the recent announcement that there will be a referendum held in Ireland next summer over the Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution which surrounds the issue of abortion. I analyse the arguments made from both the pro life and pro choice side. I also explain my stance on abortion and whether I identify myself as pro life or pro choice. Plus, I provide opinions and commentary on the other seven referendums that have been scheduled to take place in Ireland over the next couple of years including if the Blasphemy Law should be removed and if the voting age in Ireland should be reduced to 16.

Pat Leahy talks to Hugh Linehan about the results of the latest Irish Times Ipsos/MRBI poll. The poll showed greater support for a limited revision of abortion restrictions than their outright removal. But some pro-choice activists have criticised how the question was framed - Hugh puts their position to Pat. And there's time at the end to look at the other major finding: Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is the most popular party leader with an impressive 49% approval rating.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed... 8th Amendment In recent days, members of the California State Senate and Assembly have made the reformation of the Bail system a "Legislative Priority" in the State. Their reasoning is that on any given day, 63% of the people held in the States Jails have not been convicted of any crime. They are simply awaiting trial and cannot - for a variety of reasons - make bail. The Legislative argument goes that the main reason that people cannot make bail is twofold. First that bail levels are set far too high in the State. Second is that the Bail system discriminates against those who are "poor," in favor of those who have money. So the solution that at least two other States have elected to employ is to eliminate Bail requirements for some "low level" crimes. The history of Bail in The United States traces its origins to 1689 and the Glorious Revolution. And, with just a single word change since, has been a cornerstone of those rights which we have held dear, both as Englishmen and as Americans. So is Bail really discriminatory? Or is there a bigger problem? Or any problem at all? And why hasn't the Supreme Court addressed it? Today we look at Bail on Constitution Thursday.

"Everything you do that you don't have to do" is how Brian Eno sums up art in all its guises.
