Appeals Court Overturns Tom Brady's NFL Football Suspension Being Lifted By Fawning Judge




Tom Brady
 
The NFL scored a victory against one of its top football players, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who has been convincingly accused of engaging inappropriate behavior that is tantamount to cheating on the grid iron. Brady was accused of having teammates and Patriots' staff deflate footballs, making them easier for him to handle, which gave him an undue advantage in play.

Brady was handed a four game suspension for this misconduct. Brady filed a lawsuit and a biased judge, Richard M. Berman ,questionably and mysteriously tossed the suspension. The NFL filed a case with the appeals court to have the improper judicial ruling overturned. Yesterday the appeals court sided with the NFL and reinstated Brady's suspension.

This reallly was not a matter that should have been brought before the courts. Sports leagues around the world have internal systems athletes agree to abide by and process decisions through. For Brady to have taken it to a partial judge, who is a fan of the sports star was inappropriate and brought the judiciary into disrepute due to the corrupt, fawning decision that was issued.

Federal court has reinstated the NFL's four-game suspension of Tom Brady

11:54 a.m. EDT April 25, 2016 -Round 2 – unlike the first – goes to the NFL – and Tom Brady’s four-game suspension has been reinstated. A panel of three judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit has ruled in favor of the league in the ongoing Deflategate case against the Patriots quarterback and the NFL Players Association. 

The court announced the decision on its website Monday to reverse the decision by a U.S. District Judge, and reinstate Brady’s four-game suspension. This comes as a drastic momentum swing in the case, after the players union secured a significant victory last September, when District Judge Richard M. Berman vacated Brady’s four-game suspension for his alleged role in intentionally deflating footballs prior to the 2015 AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts...

Tom Brady's Suspension Being Lifted By Judge Sends The Wrong Message About Cheating In Sports


Tom Brady

This past Friday, a judge in Boston, Massachusetts, lifted the 4-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, ruling against the NFL (National Football League). The NFL is appealing the decision in court. People in Boston applauded the ruling. However, social networking was inundated with negative comments labeling Brady a cheat, who arranged to have footballs deflated, to give him an unfair advantage during play. This strategy led to Brady winning the Super Bowl championship.

While the Judiciary Report has nothing personal against Brady and does not wish to hurt his feelings, it was clearly established he had the balls deflated. The NFL's 4-game suspension should have stood. For the judge to throw out the suspension sends the wrong message to kids that cheating is okay, when it is very poor sportsmanship. Brady's conduct was also unfair to the other teams in the league and it is tarnishing his legacy.

The court of public opinion is more important in these types of cases. People will not remember what the judge ruled. However, they will remember the cheating and question if the Patriots legitimately won their Super Bowls with Brady. That's not a pretty question mark to have on one's career and legacy.

Too often star struck judges bring the U.S. legal system into disrepute, rendering corrupt decisions that cause the public to lose faith in the judiciary (social networking is awash in such cutting comments). An article on the well known Boston.com website entitled "Deflategate judge bashed NFL, but didn't actually address what Tom Brady knew" takes U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman to task for failing to ascertain what Tom Brady knew about the deflated footballs that gave him an unfair advantage on the grid iron.

However, there is audio evidence of Brady bragging about deflated balls being easier to maneuver and teammate Gronk spiking them very hard to let out some of the air (deflating them). Brady also destroyed his mobile phone to hide evidence during the NFL's investigation, after refusing to turn it over. None of that speaks to innocence.

New York Appeals Court Slams NSA Spying In Ruling Labeling It Illegal


National Security Agency (NSA)

New York's Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against the National Security Agency's blanket spying on Americans, stating the Patriot Act did not allow the agency to engage in said misconduct. Former National Security Agency contractor, Edward Snowden, bravely exposed the agency's lawbreaking in indiscriminately spying on Americans.

This confirms what the site previously stated several years ago regarding illegal spying at the NSA and FBI (

NSA's phone spying program ruled illegal by appeals court

A U.S. spying program that systematically collects millions of Americans' phone records is illegal, a federal appeals court ruled on Thursday, putting pressure on Congress to quickly decide whether to replace or end the controversial anti-terrorism surveillance. Ruling on a program revealed by former government security contractor Edward Snowden, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said the Patriot Act did not authorize the National Security Agency to collect Americans' calling records in bulk.

Circuit Judge Gerard Lynch wrote for a three-judge panel that Section 215, which addresses the FBI's ability to gather business records, could not be interpreted to have permitted the NSA to collect a "staggering" amount of phone records, contrary to claims by the Bush and Obama administrations.

"Such expansive development of government repositories of formerly private records would be an unprecedented contraction of the privacy expectations of all Americans," Lynch wrote in a 97-page decision. "We would expect such a momentous decision to be preceded by substantial debate, and expressed in unmistakable language. There is no evidence of such a debate."

The appeals court did not rule on whether the surveillance violated the U.S. Constitution. It also declined to halt the program, noting that parts of the Patriot Act including Section 215 expire on June 1. Lynch said it was "prudent" to give Congress a chance to decide what surveillance is permissible, given the national security interests at stake.

Judge Blocks Hospital From Switching Off Life Support On Brain Dead Girl Jahi McMath For One Week (Video)

Hospital Refuses To Perform Surgery On Brain Dead Teen To Prepare Her For Nursing Home


Today, a California judge granted a last minute reprieve to the family of Jahi McMath, a 13-year-old girl, who was to be switched off life support this evening. A time extension has been granted to January 7, 2014. The Children's Hospital Oakland botched a tonsillectomy on McMath, who then began hemorrhaging and experiencing cardiac arrest.

Last week, the hospital had a local court declare McMath brain dead and petitioned for permission to switch off life support. The court granted their legal request, issuing a court order to that effect. This week, the hospital is refusing to perform a tracheotomy and the surgical insertion of a feeding tube on McMath, a prerequisite for long term care homes to accept the minor child. The hospital has stated they do not perform such procedures on patients they deem dead.



Jahi McMath

As a result, two long term care nursing homes in California reneged on their offer to accept McMath as a patient to their facility. The family has since found another nursing home in New York. However, it is still contingent on a tracheotomy being performed and feeding tube insertion.

The hospital is now stating the family needs to find a physician willing to perform the necessary surgeries to prepare McMath for a nursing home. The family has raised $27,000 on GoFundMe.com to move McMath to a nursing home.

 The Judiciary Report is of the belief, the Children's Hospital Oakland needs to perform the tracheotomy and feeding tube insertion for free, as their surgeon put McMath in this unresponsive medial state. It's the least the hospital could do, as a routine tonsillectomy should not have ended in hemorrhaging, cardiac arrest and brain death. And let's not forget, you are dealing with a child. A significant amount of sensitivity to a terrible situation needs to be utilized.

The Case Of The Three Young Women Abducted In Ohio Another Reminder Of The Time Victims Of Crime Lose (Ariel Castro Convicted)




Gina DeJesus, 23, Amanda Berry, 27 and Michelle Night, 32 were cruelly kidnapped by 53-year-old Ariel Castro in Cleveland, Ohio. He kept the women as sex slaves, brutally raping and beating them repeatedly over a 11 year time frame. The women were freed this year due to the intervention of two neighbors. Police were summoned and Castro arrested, indicted and convicted on a host of charges. He has been sentenced to life in prison, plus 1,000 years.

They were robbed of their innocence and years by a man who behaved illegally and unconscionably. Survivors of such confinement, often feel cheated as they miss developmental milestones and important events in their lives, due to being locked away against their will.

Similarly, when you look at great men like Nelson Mandela, who were wrongfully locked away for years against their will, they all basically tell the same story - they felt as though life was passing them by and they had become spectators instead of participants.

The things some people go through in this world can be so disheartening. When you see humanity at its worst, it causes great pause. The resilience of the human spirit is not to be underestimated. Men and women have survived horrors and reemerged with a steely determination to continue with their lives and they are some of the strongest among us in this world.

Judge Sides With Cheerleaders In Bible Banner Lawsuit


Student painting Christian banners for football games

A Texas judge has ruled cheerleaders are allowed to display banners with Bible verses at football games. Initially the school district barred the practice and was sued as a result of their decision. However, a ruling by State District Judge Steven Thomas has struck down the district's rule, granting students the ability to display the banners, as it is their constitutional right.

Judge rules for cheerleaders in Bible banner suit

8, 2013 | Updated: May 8, 2013 8:48pm - HOUSTON (AP) — A judge ruled Wednesday that cheerleaders at a Southeast Texas high school can display banners emblazoned with Bible verses at football games. But the ruling might not have settled the issue of whether the banners are protected free speech, according to an attorney for the cheerleaders' school district.

State District Judge Steven Thomas determined the Kountze High School cheerleaders' banners are constitutionally permissible. In the ruling, Thomas determined that no law "prohibits cheerleaders from using religious-themed banners at school sporting events."...

U.S. Court Rules President Obama's Appointments Are Illegal And Unconstitutional

 
Barack Obama

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has ruled President Barack Obama's recess appointments were "unconstitutional" and illegal, due to the Senate having been in session at the time they occurred. The Obama Administration is not in agreement with the court's decision, slamming it as "novel and unprecedented."

Obama, via his Department of Justice, headed up by controversial and disgraced Attorney General, Eric Holder, have vowed to appeal the ruling. At the end of the day, it is best to err on the side of caution. The Constitution must be observed and upheld by the White House. The law demands uniformity. The legal errors rendered by the administration must be corrected.

Court: Obama appointments are unconstitutional

Jan. 25 3:16 PM EST - WASHINGTON (AP) — In a setback for President Barack Obama, a federal appeals court ruled Friday that he violated the Constitution in making recess appointments last year, a decision that could severely curtail the president's ability to bypass the Senate to fill administration vacancies.

The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said Obama did not have the power to make three recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board because the Senate was officially in session — and not in recess — at the time. If the decision stands, it could invalidate hundreds of board decisions made over the past year...

GOP House Speaker John Boehner welcomed the ruling as "a victory for accountability in government."...If the ruling stands, it means that hundreds of decisions issued by the board over more than a year would be invalid. It also would leave the five-member labor board with just one validly appointed member, effectively shutting it down. The board is allowed to issue decisions only when it has at least three sitting members.

A Ruling Finally Goes Halle Berry's Way In Bitter Custody Dispute

 

Halle Berry and daughter Nahla Aubry

A judge has finally sided with actress Halle Berry in her custody fight against ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, the father of her 4-year-old Nahla Aubry. Last week, after a violent altercation at her home, between fiancé Olivier Martinez and Aubry, Berry filed a restraining order against the father of her child, which he tried to have lifted today, but was denied.

The emergency restraining order protects Berry and their daughter, ordering Aubry to stay away, but will only remain in effect for a few more days. At that time, she will seek to extend the duration. Berry can also apply for full custody of Nahla, as Aubry's violent outburst is the type of behavior that judges typically frown upon in cases.

Judge Rules Pilar Sanders Must Vacate The Mansion She Shared With Deion Sanders After Domestic Violence Attack


Deion Sanders and Pilar Sanders 

The judge in the child custody and divorce case of NFL hall of famer, Deion Sanders and his wife, Pilar Sanders, has ruled in favor of the football star, issuing a restraining order. Pilar Sanders has been ordered to stay 500 feet away from her husband, after a domestic violence incident. He has also been granted full custody of the couple's three children. 

The Sanders have been sharing a mansion in Texas during their acrimonious divorce. Pilar Sanders and a female friend, Dee Boswell, attacked Deion Sanders in his bedroom, on his side of the couple's home, after his wife found out he has been dating promiscuous, Tracey Edmonds, the ex-wife of singer/producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds

Boswell attempted to film the duo attacking him with her mobile phone camera. This prompted Sanders to toss the mobile phone outside his home. He then removed Pilar from his bedroom by lifting her up by the waist and placing her outside the room. Sanders and his children filed a police report regarding the incident. They have both been charged in the case, with Pilar facing the greater legal penalties.

Judge Rules Against ObamaCare As Unconstitutional

Barack Obama

Republican U.S. Judge, Henry Hudson, has ruled against President Barack Obama's health care plan, labeling it "unconstitutional." The judge did render the correct ruling. However, the Judiciary Report would not refer to the President's health care plan as "unconstitutional." Under that premise, one could also argue paying taxes is "unconstitutional" when it is just a necessary pain in the butt.

ObamaCare added an enormous amount of debt to the national deficit and during an unprecedented financial crisis. This was not good economics. The President should have waited until the nation was on firmer financial footing, before attempting such a maneuver.

Someone, somewhere in Washington, convinced President Obama that spending is the way to prosperity and financial stability, when government cost cutting and corporate production is the correct avenue out of the crisis.

Another matter of concern is the Obama Administration seeking to tamper with Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, for his new, untried health care plan that went up in smoke today in a Virginia court. Millions of Americans rely on Medicare and Social Security and to damage those institutions would mean a swift and horrendous backlash.

The government needs to work on cost cutting in areas of the the FBI, CIA, NSA, DOD and State Department budgets and stop tampering with programs American taxpayers paid their money into during their working years and rely on in their old age.

There are seniors that were enraged when former President, George W. Bush, tried to privatize Social Security, in order to give it to his cronies on the stock market, which would have resulted in a disaster. Many are not happy with President Obama attempting to play with it as well.

Obama Betrays The Gays - Part 2


Barack Obama

A U.S. federal judge, Virginia Phillips, has ordered President Obama, to stop enforcing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" regarding the ban on gays in the military. The order commands the President of the United States of America, to stop discharging homosexuals from the military.

US District Judge Virginia Phillips

A judge should not be able to dictate military policy. This is a matter for the White House, U.S. Congress and the Pentagon. A solitary judge should not have the ability to direct the military as he or she sees fit. Where are the "checks and balances"?

Obama To Appeal Stem Cell Ban


U.S. President Obama, pictured with his family, claims to be a family man, but sees no qualms about the abominably sanctioning the destruction of millions of embryos God created.

U.S. President Barack Obama, has instructed his Justice Department, headed up by the incompetent, Eric Holder, to appeal a wise judicial ruling, barring stem cell research in America, which is experimentation on human embryos.

It is quite appalling to think of the number of embryos that have been the subject of horrific experiments since Obama's 2009 decision, permitted such research. It shows a gross lack of respect for human life.

FBI and NSA Wiretapping Ruled Illegal

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker ruled the FBI and NSA's warantless wiretapping of Islamic charity, al-Haramain, was illegal. The ruling comes as a blow to the U.S. government.

However, one should follow the U.S. Constitution, as it is the law of the land and the Fourth Amendment was clearly violated in this case. If the government wanted to wiretap al-Haramain, they should have done so with a warrant and not trampled the U.S. Constitution. The international condemnation warantless wiretapping has caused, tarnished the government's name in the world.

Eric Holder

Disgraced Attorney General, Eric Holder, who has been slammed in Congress and the press, for a wide range of faux pas and failures, utilized the State Secrets defense, in an inexcusable bid to defend the indefensible, but the argument did not prevail in court.

Since when does the term "classified" (State Secrets) cover illegality. Inherently, if something is illegal, it cannot lawfully, ethically or legitimately be categorized "classified." Think about that.

Government held liable in warrantless wiretapping case

April 1, 2010 -- Updated 0102 GMT (0902 HKT) - San Francisco, California -- A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the government is liable for illegally wiretapping an Islamic charity without a valid search warrant.

The ruling in Northern California District Court reaffirmed an earlier decision that the warrantless wiretaps conducted on an Oregon-based Islamic non-profit organization were illegal.

In Wednesday's ruling, District Judge Vaughn R. Walker said the government is liable for damages from the illegal wiretapping.
