everyone knows that in the legal program, it is buddy and buddy. if you're going against certain entities and certain persons, you will never -- the word is never -- get representation in the bay area. you have to get it outside the body that work -- buddy network. i think a lot of people don't want to admit that the problem exists among lawyers like any fraternity of professionals. they will always scratch each other's back and you're going to help each other as much as you can. we are going to be honest and help the poor, etc. you might as well include the whistle-blowers' because that is the fastest way to clean up government. thank you. president chiu: are there any other members of the public that wish to speak on this item? i think public comment is over. >> [inaudible] supervisor farrell: thanks, supervisor kim. thanks to president chiu for bringing this forward. first of all, it is great to see so many lenders of the local bar here. -- member os ths of the local br here. it is great to see you, such an influence on my legal education. it is

i would tell them to make sure that the legal education is a quality legal education. it is the first of to have a monopoly, so you can control the lawyers, and make sure they are acting in an ethical way. i think there was a third part of the question, what would i tell them not to do. by the way, before i get to that, in vietnam, i recently met with the president of their bar association, similar to the american bar. in most countries, they have a government bar association that is part of the government, in effect. then they just have an non-club federated are. the person was a 70-year-old viet cong that was the chair. one of the most interesting conversations i ever had. someone who did not told anyanger, -- not hold any anger, but wanted information and help from america. the american bar association has one of the best legal libraries in the world. coaching and has said -- has built a law school that has no books. we're working with those countries to provide them with legal materials because they have been asking. they also ask for lawyers to help them with thei

to establish the legal number of units in the building. a report was prepared last year as part of the transfer of the property to the current owner. they have established this as two units treat you can petition to the department of building inspection to correct that if you have additional information that establishes a historic use of the property. i am not aware of any information that establishes historic uses. commissioner hillis: can i just ask how this works? if you want to avail yourself of the rent board process, do we stop the planning permitting? how do they work together? >> this board has a tradition of how to handle illegal units. there are separate processes. the board does offer processes for relocation. when it is an illegal unit, i cannot exactly comment on how it plays with a unit that is illegal, which appears to be the case with this. >> mr. duffy. >> good evening, commissioners. joseph duffey, dbi. the permit was applied for and properly obtained under -- over the counter. two dwelling units. the only thing i see, it

that being sought -- that being said, this is a legal design. it is unique in that it has no structure where frames surrounding it, and by that we have come to make funny situation where copy is changed, as is often the case, and do the naked eye there is no sign. the code accounts for this type of situation. in article 1.7, three years have been established in which a sign, or after which, the uses are deemed abandoned. if the sign is installed again during that time, or importantly a there is an intent guests not to abandon the sign in this hearing, then the sign is not considered to be abandoned. this is a roundabout way of calling it a legal sign it from a regulatory perspective. supervisor mar: thank you. is there anyone else in the public that would like to speak? seeing no one, public comment is closed. colleagues, i feel there needs to be more time for community input and dialogue about the question of legality, though i just heard from planning's perspective. i am wondering if we can continue this item for two weeks until march 26 so th

just by the legal -- legal just by mixing up the compounds. on an education front, we've been all over the state talking about it. you know, when i talked -- i personally go talk to kids everywhere. our gubernatorial fellows, i asked them, have you heard of this stuff in they raised their hands. are your friends taking it? they raise their hands. last week i heard of a story of a 14-year-old girl, the students i spoke to witness this happen. some of the stuff that's still legal she took it and sprinkled it, advance placement student, sprinkled it in her pate po tate to chips at lunch and overdosed in front of the entire class. that what we're seeing. we just have to keep up with these chemists and keep fighting the fight. and if any of you -- we didn't invent the wheel. we went to louisiana because they had already outlawed it originally to get the compounds from them. but if any of you are interested in this, check with us and we can go through the compounds with you that we feel are the most deadly and need to be outlawed. >> thank you. >> g

outside we're going to take a deeper look at the legal justification attorney general eric holder is trying to use but explaining why this is ministration thinks they can kill you then a new examination on the autopsy reports of two get mowed detainees raises questions as to whether or not their deaths are really suicides like the d.o.t. says answer to six released by the current department of education show that punishment in schools is not equal with black and hispanic students having a lot more of it so we're going to have all that and more for you tonight including a dose of happy hour but first take a look with the mainstream media has decided to miss. all right so it's a super tuesday big day in terms of elections which obviously means a big big deal for the mainstream media. all right live the big day folks super tuesday the voting is underway ten states in a one day i guess we're going to talk about first. tuesday it's here super tuesday ten states more than four hundred delegates formy contenders four hundred twenty four delegates are at stake oklahoma's going to be a big wi

a third unit could not be legalized at this time. maybe mr. duffy has additional information about the past records, but that is what we have. additionally, the permit holders briefed there was some mention of the use as an office. just to be clear, the use of this office independent of a dwelling unit would be illegal. it would be a separate commercial use. you are about to have a home office as part of an accessory to a dwelling unit, but not separate from a dwelling unit. i am available for any questions. >> i do not know that you can straighten this out for me, but in exhibit b, i assume this would be the permit holders brief, it appears as though there are six units in this building? and the tenant has the right of first refusal? i do not think it has any bearing on whether or not we agree to jurisdiction, but i am just curious. >> exhibit e is the agreement for premises. i do not recognize this as a city document, an official city document. whoever prepared this, maybe this was a tic agreement. but it is not something that we would use a

let's examine legal remedies first. remedies a the damages or t amount of money, which would compensate e n-eaching pay, e hnsonsn this case from the loss of the breach. when someone loses the benefit of a bargain or contract the breaching party must make up the loss to the non-breaching party. often the court says that the injured party must be placed in the same position he or she would have been in had the other party performed. in any event, damages are the most common legal remedy, and in fact there are several types of damages available for breach of contract. they include liquidated damages, consequential damages, punitive damages, nominal damages, and compensatory damages. >> compensatory damages can also be viewed as direct damages. they are intended to compensate the person who suffered due to the breach of contract. we're talking here about direct out of pocket expenses, direct losses that were foreseeable, or should have been foreseeable, that were reasonable. it's damages to compensate the victim, to put hi

to come into the country, to be a legal citiz citizen, a legal resident. so everybody is pointing to the illegal immigrant saying the illegal immigrant is causing all these conflict, the system needs to change. it doesn't matter you're coming from, but asians have someone speaking for them, latinos also need it. they are the majority in here illegally and mexico, hello, is right over the border, right next door so, of course, they are going to be coming in a much more larger amount, so i -- i think mr. vargas has a very good point. i think we do need to find another way. thank you. >> well, i think he has demonstrated how our broken immigration system is affecting families and keeping people separated, you know. what we need to do as a nation is figure out how do we again families together? >> is there a figure as to how much it costs to become a legal resident of the country? >> to become a legal resident of the country, you know, you need to wait years and years and years because there isn't enough visas for people to migrate legally which is one of the

. >>> next, a discussion with constitutional law experts on the legalities of president obama's recess appointments earlier this year. two of the panelists argued that the appointments of richard cordray to be the financial prosection bureau director and three members to the nlrb were unconstitutional, while the two other legal experts say the president had no choice but to act and had every legal means under the constitution to do so. from the american enterprise institute, is the just under two hour hours. >> this session on whether the president's recess appointments were constitutional. i'm peter wallison, a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute. i will mediate the panel. the relevant sections of the constitution are up there on the chart. we will be dealing mostly with article 2 section 2 clause 3 which says the presidential have the power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the ves of the senate by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session. there's a lot in this single sentence, it seems to me, we should find helpful in unde

we know we will be heard from from our experts on a legal side. a lot of them can really add up here this gentleman again had heard about a situation where someone had already racked up $40,000 with of legal fees. became an issue. we are not talking about what it costs to fix up which in itself would be excess of, but also the legal component. your word of mouth and the people you know will really help. and, of course, to our media folks, people will read your articles and understand that they can really do a lot to protect their businesses early on. >> i just want to add one comment about getting our association involved. we put together a really great training. we have a panel available to you. it is only going to cost you $35 for a 30-minute conversation, and that might be the best $35 you have already spent to avoid something that will be happening in the future. that is just part of the collaborative process with supervisor chu's office, and i am very grateful to her. there is a panel of lawyers that have all attended training and know-how to

voters who have been able to vote without a problem for decades from being able to cast their legal votes under these restrictive new laws passed by republicans feet what do you make of that argument that this new law excluding thousands of voters here in the u.s. all of the tens of thousands almost completely made up of what we've seen time and time and time again and the acorn scandal was just the tip of the iceberg of protests down there produce them is become a nation of casting a provisional ballot at the polling place where you don't have a photo id or you can't prove you live somewhere and then matching that up with the fraudulent registrations that acorn register and other groups of register in the tens and hundreds of thousands so that's the kind of fraud that actually transpires in large numbers and that's the kind of voter fraud that a photo id requirement. largely eliminates and that's what they've been fighting because as we know acorn was a democrat operation registering people then the then helped elect democrats so that's the partisan battle we're fighting at this po

indeed a marshall but still needed the for the anonymous legal support group so alex empire of atari t.v. try it has some history with sony with i'll go over in a moment but he said he couldn't resist suggesting track black flags when a japanese company came looking for music for its new wii to advertising campaign the song contains multiple references to anonymous and has been used in several occupy wall street promotional videos but the other flaw in the blood supply is pirates versus the old hottentot and the potentates of the copyright cartel and this is what needs to be supported because the packer groups the piracy groups they are filling a void that's been created by the legal infrastructure collapsing in the face of lobbyists who are working on behalf of monopolist undercutting competition partners and pirates are providing much needed competition for the economy to grow the words the response from the central banks of the other banks is to just increase the debt load to make the economy grow but doesn't make the economy grow makes the economy shrink hikers and pirates are th

our legal authority is not limited to the battlefields of afghanistan. indeed, neither congress or our federal courts has limited the geographic scope of our ability to use force. the current conflict in afghanistan. we are at war with a stateless enemy. prone to shifting operations from country to country. over the last three years alone al qaeda and its associates have directed several attacks, fortunately unsuccessful, against us from countries other than afghanistan. our government has both a responsibility and a right to protect this nation and its people from such threats. now, this does not mean that we can use military force whenever or wherever we want. international legal principles including respect for another nation's sovereignty constrain our ability to act unilaterally. but the use of force in foreign territory would be consistent with these international legal principles if conducted, for example, with the consent of the nation involved or after a determination that the nation is unable or unwilling to deal effectively with the threat to

we should legalize prostitution but as it relates to marijuana, no, no,. we can decriminalize it but it's not the burden on the criminal system and i was a narcotics judge for a year. kids that are using marijuana are twice as suppressed as other kids, they think about suicidal thoughts. if you have drunk drivers who are one of the greatest killers of people in this country get them high, you can't tell they are high behind the wheel of a car or in the workplace. everyone is being jeopardized. >> bill: marijuana is so pervasive. why you are battling it because you can't win. you might as well take the tax money. >> i say that poll is wrong on its face because you really think that taxing people who buy medical marijuana is going to solve it? >> bill: buy it at 7-eleven it's not going to make a dent on that. >> we need to tax a entitlement program first. the reason i don't want marijuana legalize i do believe it's psychologically addictive because i know people that are addicted to it. it sends a message to children. mom and dad, my daughter said to me the

voters can i finish these are legal voters seat no no what they're what they're looking at is they're fudging the numbers they cherry pick certain prison populations to look out for one number and they cherry pick another number to look at for different others they're looking at registered voters there are looking at the total population of the right and looking at likely voters which of the people would actually go as it is that race is even more actually as it was it races for boruc that are actually is it races for bars to require id for purchase. oh ok ok is it raises for prescription or promise these i'll why don't i hear that she didn't see didn't let me answer your question ok in texas we're not fudging any numbers because those are the numbers that were supplied by the state of texas to the department of justice they're going by their own numbers those are currently registered legally registered voters that we're talking about and that was investigative journalist brad friedman.
