The 5-to-4 decision was a vindication, the majority said, of the First Amendment’s most basic free speech principle — that the government has no business regulating political speech. The dissenters said that allowing corporate money to flood the political marketplace would corrupt democracy. The ruling represented a sharp doctrinal shift, and it will have major political and practical consequences.

Why No Financial Crisis Prosecutions? Ex-Justice Official Says It’s Just too Hard - ProPublica
It’s an issue we and others [1] have noted again [2] and again [3] : Years after the financial crisis, there have still been no prosecutions of top executives at the major players in the financial crisis [4] . Why’s that? Well, according to a now-departed Justice Department official who used to be in charge of investigating such matters, the Justice Department has decided that holding top Wall Street executives criminally accountable is too difficult a task [5] . David Cardona, who recently left the FBI for a job at the Securities and Exchange Commission, told the Wall Street Journal that bringing financial wrongdoing to account is “better left to regulators,” who can bring civil cases. Civil cases, of course, can produce penalties from the banks -- as well as promises to be on better behavior [6] -- but don’t put any executives behind bars.
Brooklyn, New York - Next to Clarence Thomas , Antonin Scalia is the most conservative justice in the Supreme Court. He also loves the television show 24 . "Boy, those early seasons," he tells his biographer , "I'd be up to two o'clock, because you're at the end of one [episode], and you'd say, 'No, I've got to see the next'." Scalia is especially taken with Jack Bauer , the show's fictional hero played by Kiefer Sutherland . Bauer is a government agent at a Los Angeles counterterrorism unit who foils mass-murder plots by torturing suspects, kidnapping innocents and executing colleagues.

Top Stories After three years of flat to negative growth, 2011 was the year that the nation's 250 largest law firms started adding lawyers again. Headcount among the biggest U.S. firms was up by more than 2,000 lawyers -- but the increases weren't universal. Growth was robust among firms focused on labor and employment and on international work. Yet despite big years in the technology and energy industries, growth at firms associated with that work was modest or, in a few cases, even down.

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement HomePage
On October 1, 2011, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE), formerly the Minerals Management Service (MMS), was replaced by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) as part of a major reorganization. The BOEMRE.GOV website is no longer being updated. In its place, BOEM.GOV and BSEE.GOV have been launched. Over the next several weeks, the appropriate content from the BOEMRE.GOV website will be moved to the new sites. While this process is underway, BOEMRE.GOV will continue to be available for you to access.Offshore Energy and Minerals Management (OEMM) Homepage

The Law of the Sea Treaty, formally known as the Third United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS III, was adopted in 1982. Its purpose is to establish a comprehensive set of rules governing the oceans and to replace previous U.N. Conventions on the Law of the Sea, one in 1958 (UNCLOS I) and another in 1960 (UNCLOS II), that were believed to be inadequate. Negotiated in the 1970s, the treaty was heavily influenced by the "New International Economic Order," a set of economic principles first formally advanced at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). That agenda called for "fairer" terms of trade and development financing for the so-called under-developed and developing nations.
