| | Can I Be Charged With Drunk Driving, Even If My Driving Is Perfect? | | | Yes. Many people charged with drunk driving protest that their driving was fine. They believe either that the officer made up an excuse to pull them over, or that the "mistake" that the officer observed was appropriate or had nothing to do with their driving. However if your blood alcohol content exceeds the "legal limit" of 0.08%, you can be charged and convicted even if you do not feel that you are in any way affected by the alcohol you consumed. Additionally, you may be stopped because there is a mechanical problem with your motor vehicle. If the officer finds you to appear intoxicated (usual signs: slurred speech, glassy or bloodshot eyes, poor balance, conspicuous odor of alcohol, lack of coordination, difficulty comprehending instructions, clumsiness or lack of coordination, combativeness, and disorientation), he may investigate further. |

A New Jersey judge who subjected a pro se litigant to a tirade that an ethics tribunal calls "disrespectful and insulting" has apologized, but says he acted out of "desire to do justice to children." The judge was hearing cross-complaints by a woman and her husband for restraining orders. According to the tribunal, when the woman expressed concern about a temporary visitation schedule set for the husband and their child, the judge became irate, screamed at her, called her a bad parent and threatened incarceration.
When she was up for confirmation, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan
provided the Senate with a list of 11 pending cases in which she would
recuse because of her participation as solicitor general. In a routine
order list issued Friday, Kagan indicated she was not participating in
an additional case -- the vaccine liability case of Bruesewitz v.
Wyeth, set for argument Oct. 12. But the government's brief in the
case is signed by Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, so why would
Kagan have recused?
A financial services company has defeated class certification in a New York federal lawsuit involving subprime securities. The defendant, First American subsidiary eAppraiseIT, conducted home appraisals in connection with Washington Mutual mortgage loans. First American shareholders, led by the Berks County, Pa., Employees' Retirement Fund, alleged that eAppraiseIT routinely overvalued homes so WaMu could close mortgage deals.
