Can You Abort A 7 Pound Chimp??? Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jaffe made a historical court decision on Monday. Judge Jaffe ordered that two chimpanzees have the legal writ of Habeas Corpus. The two chimpanzees, Hercules and Leo, were undergoing biomedical experiments at the Stony Brook University in Long Island, New York.
The Non-Human Rights project is the group responsible for the lawsuit. It is just the latest in a serious of legal attempts to grant personhood rights to non-human animals. Stony Brook University is now required to go into court and argue that they have a legally valid reason for keeping Hercules and Leo in captivity.

From Time Magazine titled: "Rand Paul Kisses Koch Bros @ss!"
Quoted Text
By Rand Paul: Charles and David Koch are well known for their business success, their generous philanthropic efforts and for their focus on innovation in management. Some also know them for their activism in the political realm. All of these are important contributions to society. What is underappreciated is their passion for freedom and their commitment to ideas." (Now for the best part) "Unlike many crony capitalists who troll the halls of Congress looking for favors, the Kochs have consistently lobbied against special-interest politics."
"Get that? The two guys whose names are most synonymous with the astroturfing of tea parties, who have impressed their private agenda on the GOP, who plan to rival the entire Republican Party in political spending next year, and who tried turning welfare rancher Cliven Bundy's armed revolution into a political cause for the richest .01% of Americans - those guys are "against special-interest politics." It's hard to find two people who've done more to atomize American society, since so much of their ‘libertarian' cash has wound up as authoritarian spending."

Rand Paul’s son, William Hilton Paul, was cited Sunday for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in Lexington, Kentucky, the Associated Press reported Wednesday evening. Paul, 22, is no stranger to trouble with the law. In 2013, he was cited for possession of alcohol as a minor at age 19, and was also charged with simple assault after he got into an altercation with a flight attendant at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina.
The latest incident occurred late Sunday morning when Paul crashed a 2006 Honda Ridgeline into the back of an unoccupied car, Lexington Police said. The car belonged to his friend and was uninsured, local Kentucky news site WKYT reported. Paul had “a strong odor of alcohol” and “bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech and was belligerent,” the police report said. He would not complete a field sobriety test and he refused to take a breathalyzer.
Paul suffered minor injuries to his face and was taken to the University of Kentucky's hospital, where he was treated for his wounds,

Kentucky has an implied consent law. That means that if you refuse to submit to a chemical test you will be subject to a fine and automatic license suspension.
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

If you blindly believe ALL COP'S on what justifies applied consent. Since we know ALL COP'S are pure as the wind driven snow and would never manufacture evidence.

WTF are you talking about. Kid refused..."He would not complete a field sobriety test and he refused to take a breathalyzer." So you are invoking your conspiracy theory that it's all police fabrication! REALLY!!!! Are you sincerely that jaded and naïve?

Can you imagine if Malia Obama or Chelsea Clinton had a run-in with the law, especially if they were driving impaired? It would be plastered all over the TV, 24-7, even that "liberal media" station, MSNBC. But somehow, Rand Paul's son, William Hilton Paul, age 22, escaped immediate scrutiny.

No, not a conspiracy, it's called asserting your 4th Amendment. I understand that accusing the "authorities" of possibly violating the 4th amendment is considered a conspiracy nowadays.
Are you so naïve to believe that all claims of probable cause during roadside stops are justifiable? If you are driving to work tomorrow an get into a fender bender, and the cop that arrives claims that he/she smells alcohol and your eyes are bloodshot because of allergies. Are you getting out of your car, and giving a Breathalyzer and performing a field sobriety test, or are you going to tell the cop you're not taking it because he/she has no right because you are not intoxicated? Do you roll over like a seal on command?

No, I have nothing to hide, did nothing wrong, so comply with request. You just can't accept that laws have been created for a reason and they are not all violating your rights. Get over yourself Mr. Special. Laws wouldn't be created if it weren't for the minority, causing the majority to have to live with them.

DUI cases in jeopardy after Richmond County deputy admits falsifying readings Richmond County, GA. Nov. 19 – The forced resignation of a deputy assigned to the DUI task force could affect the prosecution of hundreds of cases, according to those in the legal community.
Erik Norman faced mandatory resignation from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office on Oct. 19 after a prosecutor reported that Norman told her he had falsified readings from a hand-held alcohol-testing device.
Norman told the department’s internal affairs division that he had done it only “once or twice” but couldn’t recall exactly which cases were involved. Norman’s credibility is gone now, no matter how many times he falsified readings, said Augusta attorney Robert “Bo” Hunter, who prosecuted drunken driving cases as the Richmond County State Court solicitor from 1988 to 1996… Even worse, Hunter said, is that there probably were people charged with driving under the influence who shouldn’t have been.
Norman, hired as a jailer in July 2002, was transferred to the DUI task force in March 2009. An accurate count of his DUI convictions cannot be made through court records, but during his time on the task force, he arrested an estimated 250 to 400 people.
State Court Solicitor Charles Evans said his office has 62 pending DUI cases in which Norman was the arresting officer. Each will have to be judged on its merits to determine whether to continue prosecuting them as DUIs. If necessary, the office will bring in Norman as a trial witness, Evans said.
The Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council is investigating to determine whether Norman can keep his certification, said Ryan Powell, its director of operations. Unless he is arrested on felony charges or his certification is suspended, Norman is free to work as an officer, Powell said.
Falsifying evidence is a felony – making false statements – but prosecuting Norman for it would be difficult, District Attorney Ashley Wright said. A prosecutor would have to prove in which case Norman falsified the results, and there is no way to uncover those cases without Norman’s admission. He claimed he didn’t know which cases were falsified…

I get laws are created for a reason...But I'm not going to read a one sided article(the cops side) and automatically assume their was enough probable cause to ask for a Breathalyzer. It sounds like you agree with suspending somebody's license, restricting their ability to travel, just because they assert their 4th Amendment rights, and do not comply to the authorities.(you're not alone) There are checks and balances, you seem to believe that because the cops say-so, and the media reports it, then it's fact.
You can't accept the questioning of authority. It really grates on you.

No, I can't accept ignorance. 4th amendment is not compromised, because there is a specific law that provides for loss of license if refusal to take a Breathalyzer....believe it or not, it's to protect us all, including you! No rolling over at all...doing what an honest person does that has nothing to hide....difficult for your narrow mind to comprehend, I know. Cry about your rights being trampled all you want. For those of us that fully understand why laws are in place, agree with them or not, and have nothing to hide, it's no big deal to comply!

Yeah...Like those hundreds of people of Richmond County Georgia that "complied" and lost their licenses and charged with DUI because the breathalyzer was falsified by one of those respectable people that wear a costume for a living. Those are good compliant America's, doing what honest people do. Obey the authorities keeping everybody safe.
