Ceremonial Expressions are not ultra vires. Elected officials hand out welcome letters, proclamations, and keys to the city at events every day


I’ll take you at your word but this is not how governance works in some other areas. A councilor/alderman/commissioner has no authority. All authority is in the board. They just have a vote. Similar for a director of a corporation. No power qua individual director

quote:

Correct. I'm litigating the legality of their actions, the injuries caused by their actions, and the cure for the alleged injuries. Others are litigating other things


Yes but your responses aren’t meeting their concerns. More specifically, you have a real disagreement on what should be the legality. I think everyone is in accord there is no direct harm. The harm is in what the precedent may allow. There wasn’t a holding that it’s de minimas that is causing an issue; it’s the holding there is no action on “voidable conduct” which causes the concern. As for the scope of any remedy against either party I’ve missed or not yet reviewed that duscussion

I dont know the baggage and history you bring from that other debate.

Nevertheless, I don’t think you are addressing this point. I think your s parent of young kids. One might sneak out at night and go to dangerous areas. They might do great acts and get home safely. Nevertheless, I presume you would still address the conduct

That’s the issue here. The action wasn’t a tort where we are trying to make someone whole. There is a behavior you don’t want repeated
quote:

Circular logic. Public bodies routinely pass ratification votes to clean up administrative records, clear up public confusion, or shield themselves from bad-faith litigation, such as the AG's action against the Commission.


Yes and so do businesses, but that’s not what is at issue. If a junior employee enters into a multi-million dollar deal contrary to his stated authority, it doesn’t mean it’s a bad deal— but it’s still a bad action. The company may see profit. They may ratify the deal to take such advantages and accept such perils but it doesn’t mean they don’t talk to the employee and remind them they need permission first. I’m sure there is a home governance analogy you could use which would illustrate the same concept

Statutorily, it can be difficult for a govt representative to act ultra vires to their authority and create peril in the govt bc the statutes insulate the peril away from the govt. (I.e. what you discuss on the binding nature of council actions). That doesn’t mean you don’t want officials to comport themselves in a certain way. If they transgress, you want some admonition but not necessarily a heavy sanction

The Bard can speak for himself but his latter point resonates with me. You have precedent that without peril ( eg the voidable action) then there is no admonition and seeking admonition can create peril for yourself. That’s a pretty wide exception that will make the behaviors I discussed in the previous post outside the purview of any of your open meeting laws
quote:

My judge? Good grief. Sounds like your AG overshot the mark


My AG may be subject to adverse rulings but my AG is not involved in this matter. I don’t know why calling a government official of a state where you are a resident, “your official,” causes you angst

quote:

There is zero evidence that this was deliberated.


I am struggling to understand your position. What vocabulary are you using for the event that was the basis of the complaint? You seem to object to any presentation as an act; and any discussion as a deliberation. What are you contending happened— a sole person, ultra-vires to their authority bestowed an honorific completely unconnected from their official position?

You are litigating the sanction and I think others are discussing the impropriety of the behavior. As a simple matter, many do not want

- elected municipal officials acting ultra vires to their authority
- elected municipal officials discussing the people’s business outside an open meetings
- a quorum of elected officials taking action outside a meeting
Those objections are independent of whether there are sanctions, whether sanctions are properly adjudicated; and whether or not your AG engaged in lawfare in this instance

Your point that the measure of harm is low is taken, but that doesn’t mean that the behaviors, actions, discussions or however you wish to characterize the actions are laudatory

Indeed, in those other states council members do exactly what you suggest is not feasible. They coordinate their attendance at any event when one of their members are a presenter, speaker, or that otherwise invites a dialogue on the people’s business. When you don’t do that you do develop easy cracks in sunshine laws


Some other states have a slightly different model. The open meeting violation is noticed to the appropriate body and the AG is copied. The Ag stays out in the first offense other than logging. If there are subsequent complaints they investigate and take action

IMHO, the first step is fairly good at insulting against lawfare. It sounds like your judge concluded the “investigation” step was proper but not performed within the standards required by your courts

Nevertheless, I do agree somewhat with the Bard. Tge nefariousness is not an official action; its deliberation outside of a public forum. Many states that have Sunshine laws try to prevent that. Otherwise open meetings are pro forma and the work is done in the hallways without public participation ( eg federal legislation). I think the more open meetings the more citizens feel part of the government rather than being antagonistic to the government

Does Virginia charge kids in statutory rape cases?


I think the focus is the combination of:

(A) a restriction on “burdening”
(B) a specific standard of review of “least restrictive means” and
(C) it being a constitutional amendment

Nevertheless, I agree; don’t think the state would have difficulty showing legitimate interest and least restrictive means for statutory rape statutes

The 10% would be in addition to divestment of profit.

The fee must equal (1) the greater of $2,000 or 10% of the transaction value, and (2) any net gain realized from the transaction during a specified period.

Statcast has him as one of the slower players in mlb. Doesn’t seem fast enough to play skill positions or big enough to be interior.
Yeah. You haven’t heard of him because he’s stuck in Great Britain.

Of course if he needs to be big or sec or there are concerns about him not knowing the sport we might can get some nil money for him to get a run at some big boy football. No pesky cap in the sec
Some new age cruitin. If you are a football fan
I’d like to see Tua improve his health but it’s about the same cap hit
6’5” 200 pound Norwegian that can run about a 4.2/4.3 with room to put on weight who trucks people. He’s stuck with high taxes and shitty weather with a 27 MM base and a bonus structure that would be about a 19.9 percent cap hit for an NFL team
Put him on some weight training and he would be a faster Gronk. Play for a Texas team and I doubt a Texas court would domesticate a judgment against him for breach. Just need to change those pesky bylaws. Probably big tax advantages for him and he gets out of the bad weather
He's got some Coach O in him too

quote:

I’m sure he did other things. But only thing I’m familiar with is Virgina Giufree saying she fricked him at the NY mansion when she was 17. Not condoning it, but consent in NY is 17


Giuffre alleges three sexual encounters with Randy Andy. One In London; one in Ny and one in Little Saint James Island. The latter she described as an orgy involving 8 other girls who “all looked to be under age 18”

“Sex ring” I presumed meant trafficking pursuant to the TVPA. As such, state age of consent laws would be meaningless as the statute defines the age as 18.

If I misunderstood your original post and you are asking whether Randy Andy has allegations of statutory rape, the only combining Guiffre testimony with the evidence of girls in the island being between 11 and 14 years old could you teach that conclusion. We will not get any namesof those victims so we can’t verify the ages for statutory rape purposes. We would only have it for TVPA purposes

If you are seeking other evidence on Randy Andy the new releases include the email to Epstein stating “we are in this together”. That appears to be what pissed off King Charles

If you are asking about convictions or likely convictions, only Epstein and Maxwell have been convicted and according to Todd Blanche there are 3MM documents being withheld due to, inter Alia, ongoing investigations. Thus unless the USVI or the UK up their game, there aren’t going to be others by the uS govt due to the NPA which has been ruled to be binding

. I don’t know of any sexual assault allegations in FL except against Epstein, Maxwell, and Marcinkova per the earlier linked Palm Beach Post article
quote:

The files are out. Who has been implicated in actually participating in an underage sex ring?


Epstein and Maxwell were indicted for these items.

There appears to be a bit of evidence on Prince Andrew. ETC

Sarah Kellen (Vickers), Adriana Ross, Leslie Groff, and Nadia Marcinkova were given immunity in the NPA
Marcinkova was alleged to have had sex while Epstien watched, and Vickers was alleged to have taken pictures. Palm Beach Post

There have been allegations about Jay-Z, Pusha T, and Harvey Weinstein in a tip file, but there is nothing additional on any investigation,

As mentioned in another post Jean-Luc Brunel was being held for investigation NPR

There was a discussion about a "tall swedish blonde" with Anil Ambani, but there is no mention of the age or anything else about sexual conduct.

There may be others that I'm not aware of, but this is what I've gathered thus far.
