Trump administration in legal trouble with 11 states

Ever since the Trump administration came to power, it has been involved in a lot of legal tussle with the states as well as other stakeholders. In a new development, the state attorneys of 11 different states sued the Trump administration for the delay in finalizing the energy efficiency standards for gadgets like portable air conditioner, freezers and other such products. At the center of the lawsuits are the 5 goals which the Obama administration had drafted just before the end of his presidency. The new standards which are to be set would save consumers a lot of money as well as reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. In addition to that, there would be a significant saving of energy. The standards which were finalized were subject to a 45 day review time period. This was done to ensure that there are no typing errors as well as other inconsistencies within the standards. The problem arose when the US Department of Energy was not able to publish the standards within this particular time period. Due to this very reason, the new standards of energy efficiency were not legalized.

The other stakeholders like Natural Resources defense Council and Earth Justice have initiated a separate lawsuit in order to force the Department of Energy to publish those guidelines so that they can be legally binding.

The Trump administration believes that the standard guidelines which are drafted just before the end of the presidency of Mr. Obama would result in a lot of job losses due to the lesser demand of the products as well as the lesser energy consumption in nature. That is why it is against of those energy standards. In March, the Trump administration approached the US Court of Appeals in the Columbia District to postpone the standard energy efficiency guidelines which were adopted by the Obama administration. Since then, there has been hardly any new update with regards to the energy efficiency regulations which actually lead to the lapse of those 5 regulations which were drafted by the Obama administration as they were not published during the 45 day review period.

While the current lawsuits would definitely hold merit as multiple states have the Trump administration but it remains to be seen what would be the reaction of the Trump administration to the current lawsuits and how the courts would react to them.

European court rules against the Pirate Bay

Torrent websites have long been a bone of contention when it comes to the rules and regulations involving copyright infringement. However, what can be considered as a blow to the torrent sites like the Pirate Bay, the European Court has ruled that even though the torrent websites might not be hosting the files by themselves, but still by looking at the copyright laws, it has directly held responsible sites like the Pirate Bay of infringing copyrights. The ruling was passed by the European Court of Justice on June 15. Sites like the Pirate Bay allow the users to download the copyrighted material including movies as well as audio files directly from each others computers. While they might not also handle the files themselves but they facilitate the sharing of these files, which the court ruled that is akin to copyright infringement.

The court also stated that since they filter the data and delete the inactive torrents, that can be considered as a facilitation of copyright infringement.

The ruling puts an end to a 7-year-old struggle which started with the rest of the founders as well as the blocking and seizing of the domain name. One of the founders was also arrested on November 2014 when he was trying to enter Thailand.

The struggle for various countries against the copyright infringement with the help of the Internet continues. Most of the developed economies like the United States as well as the United Kingdom and Australia are already struggling to enforce the copyright infringement laws for the people who are downloading these directly from the Internet. While there have been quite a few instances of the court ordering the Internet service providers to hand over the information of the people who have downloaded the movies but till now, there are strict action all of which has been created in order to legally bind the people who are downloading the movies as well as music from such torrent websites. With this, it will shortly send shock waves through the people who are operating such torrent websites in order to spread the movies as well as music under the garb of not hosting the files by themselves. It remains to be seen what would be the implication of this particular judgment in the fight against piracy which the governments of various countries are struggling against for quite some period of time now. It can also accelerate the shutting down of the various torrent websites which are operating currently.

Controversial adoption bill signed into law by Texas Governor

The governor of Texas Greg Abbott recently created a law relating to adoption which gives the power to the adoption agencies to reject the placement of a child in a family or in a foster care or home which goes against the religious beliefs of the adoption agencies. The bill was passed in May and it was converted into a law soon thereafter.

Rights groups are already up in arms against this law by the Texas State. They believe that this particular law would be used in order to thwart the LGBT parents from adopting children. This law can also go against the parents were from the minority community. Even though the sponsor of the bill, James Frank, denies any such a loop holes being there in the bill, the rights groups are still skeptical about the bill.

Due to the ongoing cases in the Supreme Court, the rights of the same-sex couples are already under threat. The precedent of such cases is the case of the lesbian couple, who are against the decision of the Mississippi court which had ruled that she is not a legal parent. Similarly, in February in South Carolina, both same-sex parents were only allowed to get the birth certificate of the child they had adopted after the intervention of a federal judge.

In another example, in December 2016 a judge in Arkansas appalled the judgment that only the biological parents can be named in the birth certificate of the child. This was actually a big blow to the rights of the same-sex parents. However, in another judgment in August of 2016, the top court in New York expanded the definition of a parent in order to include the same-sex couples.

In May of 2016, the Supreme Court in Alabama bracketed the order on the denial of same-sex marriage recognition. This in-turn ensures that same-sex couples were able to marry and get their marriage recognized in a few more states. This was a huge win for the same-sex couples who were now legally allowed to become parents. However, this is still limited to certain states and not for the entire country. That is why this law intends to undermine the rights further.

In such an environment, the law which was recently established is actually a threat to the right of the same-sex couples.

Federal court rules Native American tribe governance sufficient for casino

All hopes of people died when the judge ruled the decision to open a game zone for community members of Aquinnah and to settle the land disputes of state territory to federal. In his ruling the Judge Saylor diminished all the castles of expectations, and imperiled the plans to plan any kind of gaming zone or opening the doors to gaming facility in Aquinnah. The subjected reasons include insufficient requisites and possessions of the community according to Indian Gaming Rights Act 1988 which subject to the development of an outline for any kind of sports activity or opening a setup for such activity accordingly on land of Aquinnah. The lower court decisions were challenged but Act did not support it to sustain with the appeal made.

The tribal cases are increasing with the passage of time in Federal courts of law and disputes are becoming a challenge to be resolved by these courts after trials. Previously the Ninth Circuit ruled in the month of March that the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians has a right to groundwater provided by the federal government in the Coachella Valley reservation in California. In the same month another ruling by a Federal Judge against Native American tribes declared to put a full stop to the construction of seeking to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline project. In another hearing, the Supreme Court heard the arguments to find the immunity of rights of employees placed accordingly to be within due rights and it does not harm them. In October 2016, the Federal judge ruled against the violation of voting procedure in Native American reservations by not conducting the polling at placed positions, according to Voting Right Act. Moreover a penalty of $492 million was charged by the former Presidential Administration to the mismanagement of natural belongings and tribal property in September 2016.

Anuja Dhir becomes first non-white circuit judge at Old Bailey

Working women impose their own ‘glass ceilings’, according to the Old Bailey’s first non-white circuit judge, who said she had succeeded despite not being an Oxbridge-educated man. As she took up her new role, she said that when she began her career as a barrister just getting into courtrooms was a problem. “I got used to turning up at courts and people saying to me ‘Witness?’ – No – ‘Defendant?’ – no; and looking rather surprised when I said I was the advocate,” and in the end I had to show him my wig and gown before he would actually let me into the building.

Dhir told BBC news that when she was first called to the bar in 1989, most barristers were white men, educated in public schools, who already had “some connection” to the profession. “My daughter, it would never cross her mind being treated differently because she’s a female or because she’s not white, whereas in my generation we did,” she said.

I’m often asked if there is a glass ceiling. I think sometimes there are two ceilings – or no glass ceiling at all. There is one glass ceiling that’s in our minds, that’s what we think we can achieve, so perhaps we impose our glass ceiling and that has happened to me several times.

The Judicial Conduct Investigations Office issued “formal advice” to Peter Herbert, criticized the election commissioner’s decision to void the election of Lutfur Rahman as mayor of the London borough of Tower Hamlets. So their expectation has change and that’s a lot to have change. But Anuja Dhir says she was often mistaken for a witness or defendant when she started working as a lawyer

DOJ orders increased criminal immigration enforcement

In a press release by Department of Justice on Tuesday, the Attorney General Jeff Session declared that the number of Immigrants would be limited and in order to make sure this enforcement, cases of all the immigrants will be dealt on priority basis by the office. For this all prosecutors are notified to deal the cases of all those who want to take asylum or want to conceal or sheltering with fake identities to be treated at priority so that number of immigrants could be downsized according to rule of law. Moreover, people who have been residing on the basis of a contract marriage need to submit the due amount for their proceedings in case or face deporting in other way.

He added further to the statement, that border securities have been tightened up in previous months and illegalities been removed to some extent to ensure a secured setup. Also it will eliminate crime scenes and activities that come under the violation of law.

To deal with this situation, hiring of about two hundred immigration judges will be made sure to counter the situation in immigration courts.

With every passing day the immigration issue is continuously a source of problem for the law enforcing institutes. According to an estimate more than 10 million people have been found as unregistered inhabitants in the US, which is an open violation of law. Moreover, different states of US have started revising their immigration policies. The State of California; the elected representatives have passed the bill in the Senate to protect rights of immigrants and to strictly improve the procedures of investigation, arresting and rest of technicalities involved in all legal procedures regarding migrants. In another case, the State of Massachusetts asked the Judicial Court to allow the State administration for the detention of unregistered immigrants. In a nut-shell the new wave of revising policies is strictly prohibiting outsiders to enter or leave the state without a court trial.

Outcry as Utah judge calls Mormon bishop who raped girl a ‘good man’.

Complaints are pouring against a Utah judge who called a former Mormon bishop convicted of rape an “extraordinary, good man” who did something wrong, a Utah judicial oversight organization said on Friday.

About 40 emails, six voicemails and some Facebook messages complaining about Judge Thomas Low have come in since late March, said Jennifer Yim, executive director of the Utah judicial performance evaluation commission.

The complaints began after Low let Keith Robert Vallejo out of custody after a jury found him guilty of 10 counts of forcible sexual abuse and one count of object rape.

But Yim said most of the complaints were filed after the Wednesday sentencing hearing when Low seemed emotional as he sentenced Vallejo to up to life in prison, “The court has no doubt that Mr Vallejo is an extraordinary, good man,” Low said during the sentencing. “But great men sometimes do bad things.” One of Vallejo’s victims said she was shocked by the judge’s sympathy, saying it felt like he cared more about Vallejo than the victims.

Low did not return a request for comment submitted through Utah court spokesman Geoff Fattah.

One victim was 19 when she said Vallejo, a relative, groped her multiple times when she stayed at his house while attending Brigham Young University in 2013. A second victim told police Vallejo raped and groped her while she slept on his couch in 2014 when she was 17.

There was no indication that Low had any prior friendship or relationship with Vallejo, said Ryan McBride, the prosecutor on the case. A judge would have to disclose something like that, he said.

McBride called Low’s comment inappropriate, and it they may have come in response to more than 50 character letters sent in about Vallejo. “I don’t think it’s wrong to acknowledge the good things that someone has done in their lives,” said McBride. “But I think whenever you do that in a case like this, you’ve also got to say, but it doesn’t excuse what you’ve done.”
