Trump's Transgender Move Puts Spotlight On Supreme Court Case

... the law of the land, binding the Trump administration and the states. "This is an incredibly urgent issue for Gavin and these other kids across the country," said Joshua Block, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who represents Grimm. The Trump administration's announcement "only underscores the need for the Supreme Court to bring some clarity here," he added. The administration on Wednesday did not offer its own interpretation of Title IX, with the Justice Department telling the court only that it plans to "consider further and more completely the legal issues involved.". The administration is not directly involved in the case. Lawyers for both Grimm and the Gloucester County School Board have urged the court to decide whether Title IX applies to transgender students rather than taking a narrower approach by sending the case back to a lower court. In a court filing on Thursday, the ACLU said that, regardless of the administration's position, the court "can - and should - resolve the underlying question of whether the ...

Meet The Stylish Supreme Model Who Had Nothing To Do With That Frank Ocean Song

... you describe your style now. Yeah, he said something like, "expensive roadman." I guess that just came from traveling and seeing different places like Paris, London. It's cool, but I'm all about comfort. I skate for Converse, but I'm not wearing Chuck Taylors all the time. I was able to differentiate my on-board style from my regular style. How do you dress differently when you're skating. I don't like to wear shorts if I'm skating. I have kind of expensive taste. I wouldn't wear—. The Gucci scarf you have on, for instance. I actually got this on sale. [laughs]. If you know you're being filmed that day while skating, will you step your style up a little bit for the cameras. I'm always conscious of what I'm wearing. It's just like how a basketball player doesn't wear a jersey and basketball ...

How Supreme Court Just Made Things Easier For Patent Infringers

... is to stop U. S. firms from getting away with infringement by manufacturing most of the components abroad while still manufacturing a substantial part at home. The Supreme Court disagreed in an opinion that drew no dissent. Writing for the court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor focused on the words of the statute, not its purpose. In particular, she ruled that the law refers not to a substantial portion of the final manufactured product, but rather to a substantial portion “of the components.” Sotomayor read this language to mean that that the substantial-portion test was not qualitative, relating to the importance of the U. S.-manufactured component, but purely quantitative, relating only to the total number of components manufactured in the U. S. This led the court to the conclusion that a single component could not by definition count as a substantial portion of the components. The result lets manufacturers avoid being hit with an infringement suit by making no more than one of the components of an infringing product ...

Virginia Supreme Court Should Protect Drivers From License Plate Surveillance

... Police Department uses ALPRs that read every license plate that goes by, and stores the records for up to a year. Mr. Neal’s plate was collected at least twice, and he sued with the help of the ACLU of Virginia. This is a critical case for those who count on privacy-protective state laws to bolster federal statutes. In Virginia, long before the proliferation of ALPRs, state lawmakers were already sensitive to the dangers of indiscriminate data collection, so they passed the Government Data Collection & Dissemination Practices Act. This law protects Virginia’s residents from mass government  collection and dissemination of “personal information.”  Concerned with the “potential gross abuse of power of interconnecting data banks,” the law prevents government agencies from collecting data in secret and allows data subjects to challenge information collected on them. If that information doesn’t fall within any ...

But the lawmaker spearheading the overhaul says her committee investigation into stadium operations will continue. “I want to make sure that the Sports Facilities Authority is never questioned again,” Rep.

Arkansas Supreme Court Strikes Down Local Anti-discrimination Law

... law in the lower court. "They can't. prevent the city from enacting protections for its gay and lesbian residents," Williams said. Charlotte City Council Repeals Ordinance That Led To Bathroom Bill. Arkansas is one of multiple states where local governments are at odds with state legislatures over discrimination protections. After the city of Charlotte, N. C., passed a law protecting LGBT people from discrimination, the Legislature in that state passed a law similar to the one in Arkansas, barring cities from passing broad anti-discrimination statutes. North Carolina has lost business as a result of that state law, including NCAA championships that were scheduled to be held there. The ACLU has sued the state on behalf of Joaquin Carcaño, a 27-year-old transgender man who works at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is banned from using public men's restrooms under the law. Other states have passed what supporters refer to as religious freedom laws, allowing people to refuse to to do business with certain people because of personal ...
