Justice SCALIA, with whom Justice KENNEDY joins, dissenting.
"A summary reversal . . . is a rare and exceptional disposition, 'usually reserved by this Court for situations in which the law is well settled and stable, the facts are not in dispute, and the decision below is clearly in error.' " Stern, Gressman & Shapiro, Supreme Court Practice 281 (6th ed. 1986) (quoting Schweiker v. Hansen, 450 U.S. 785, 791, 101 S.Ct. 1468, 1472, 67 L.Ed.2d 685 (1981) (Marshall, J., dissenting)). As Justice STEVENS' dissent amply demonstrates, the decision here reversed is, at a minimum, not clearly in error.
I frankly am unsure whether the Court's disposition or Justice STEVENS' favored disposition is correct; but I am sure that, if we are to decide this case, we should not do so without briefing and argument. In my view, we should not decide it at all; the factual situation it presents is so extraordinary that it does not warrant the expenditure of our time. I would have denied the petition for writ of certiorari.

# Mireles v. Waco/Dissent Stevens

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Per Curiam Opinion of the Court
* Dissenting Opinions Stevens Scalia
Justice STEVENS, dissenting.
Judicial immunity attaches only to actions undertaken in a judicial capacity. Forrester v. White, 484 U.S. 219, 227-229, 108 S.Ct. 538, 544-545, 98 L.Ed.2d 555 (1988). In determining whether an action is "judicial," we consider the nature of the act and whether it is a "function normally performed by a judge." Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, 362, 98 S.Ct. 1099, 1108, 55 L.Ed.2d 331 (1978).
Respondent Howard Waco alleges that petitioner Judge Raymond Mireles ordered police officers "to forcibly and with excessive force seize and bring" respondent into petitioner's courtroom. App. to Pet. for Cert. B-3, ¶ 7(a). As the Court acknowledges, ordering police officers to use excessive force is "not a 'function normally performed by a judge.' " Ante, at 12 (quoting Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S., at 362, 98 S.Ct., at 1108). The Court nevertheless finds that judicial immunity is applicable because of the action's "relation to a general function normally performed by a judge." Ante, at 13.
Accepting the allegations of the complaint as true, as we must in reviewing a motion to dismiss, petitioner issued two commands to the police officers. He ordered them to bring respondent into his courtroom, and he ordered them to commit a battery. The first order was an action taken in a judicial capacity; the second clearly was not. Ordering a battery has no relation to a function normally performed by a judge. If an interval of a minute or two had separated the two orders, it would be undeniable that no immunity would attach to the latter order. The fact that both are alleged to have occurred as part of the same communication does not enlarge the judge's immunity.
Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.

# Modern Poets and Poetry of Spain/To his Horse

TO HIS HORSE.
Friend of my hours of melancholy gloom, To soothe me now, come, scouring o'er the plain; Bear me that I forgetfulness may gain, Lost in thy speed from my unhappy doom.
The fond illusions of my love are gone, Fled never to return! and with them borne Peace, happiness and hope: the veil is drawn, And the bared cheat shows frenzy's end alone.
O! how the memory of pleasures past Now wearies me! horrible that soul's state, Of flowers of. hope, or freshness desolate! What then remains it? Bitterness o'ercast.
This south wind kills me: O! that I could rest In sweet oblivion, temporary death! Kind sleep might moderate my feverish breath, And my worn soul again with strength be blest.
My Horse, my friend, I do implore thee, fly! Though with the effort break my frame so weak: Grant for thy master's brows he thus may seek Sleep's balmy wings spread forth benignantly.
Let him from thee gain such refreshment kind; Though much another day it caused me shame, In my mad cruelty and frenzy's blame, My crimson'd heels, and thy torn flanks to find.
Pardon my fury! beats upon my eye The sorrowing tear. Friend, when my shouts declare Impatience, then the biting spur to spare Wait not, but toss thy mane, thy head, and fly.

The National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA as it is commonly called, is the name of the U.S. federal law that is passed every fiscal year (October 1st through September 30th) that tells the Department of Defense what it must do, what it may do and what it may not do. The NDAA typically authorizes the majority of the funding for military functions of the Department of Defense, prescribes military personnel levels and outlines the policy and practices the DoD and related agencies should follow.
# National Day of Prayer, 2009

Delivered on 7 May 2009.
Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009
Proclamation 8374—National Day of Prayer, 2009
May 7, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
    Throughout our Nation's history, Americans have come together in moments of great challenge and uncertainty to humble themselves in prayer. In 1775, as the Continental Congress began the task of forging a new Nation, colonists were asked to observe a day of quiet humiliation and prayer. Almost a century later, as the flames of the Civil War burned from north to south, President Lincoln and the Congress once again asked the American people to pray as the fate of their Nation hung in the balance.
    It is in that spirit of unity and reflection that we once again designate the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer. Let us remember those who came before us, and let us each give thanks for the courage and compassion shown by so many in this country and around the world.
    On this day of unity and prayer, let us also honor the service and sacrifice of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. We celebrate their commitment to uphold our highest ideals, and we recognize that it is because of them that we continue to live in a Nation where people of all faiths can worship or not worship according to the dictates of their conscience.
    Let us also use this day to come together in a moment of peace and goodwill. Our world grows smaller by the day, and our varied beliefs can bring us together to feed the hungry and comfort the afflicted; to make peace where there is strife; and to lift up those who have fallen on hard times. As we observe this day of prayer, we remember the one law that binds all great religions together: the Golden Rule, and its call to love one another; to understand one another; and to treat with dignity and respect those with whom we share a brief moment on this Earth.
    The Congress, by Public Law 100–307, as amended, has called on the President to issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a "National Day of Prayer."
    Now, Therefore, I, Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 7, 2009, as a National Day of Prayer. I call upon Americans to pray in thanksgiving for our freedoms and blessings and to ask for God's continued guidance, grace, and protection for this land that we love.
    In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

# National D.A.R.E. Day, 2009

Delivered on 08 April 2009.
Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009
Proclamation 8358—National D.A.R.E. Day, 2009
April 8, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
    Drugs, gangs, and violence threaten our children and communities every day. Today we commemorate Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.), a program that has worked to educate children and protect them from these problems. National D.A.R.E. Day provides the opportunity to reflect upon the dangers of drugs, gangs, and violence and to emphasize efforts to combat these threats.
    From inner cities to suburbs and rural communities, gangs and drug dealers prey upon youth across the United States. Unaware of the dangers of drug abuse and violence, many youth surrender the promise of a bright future. Every child lost in this battle represents a tragedy for our Nation, and we must do more to stop it.
    Education efforts to help children avoid drugs and violence must begin in the home. Parents must be positive role models and take the lead in advising their children on the effects of drugs on their health and well-being.
    The D.A.R.E. program has worked to educate students about drugs, gangs, and violence for more than 25 years. Placing law-enforcement personnel in the classroom, D.A.R.E. provides students with important lessons from experts and seeks to prepare them for the difficult encounters and choices they may face.
    Today we honor D.A.R.E. for its important work. The efforts of D.A.R.E.'s instructors and supporters benefit our Nation's children and are deserving of praise and appreciation. D.A.R.E.'s renewed efforts to implement science-based programs and to strengthen partnerships among law enforcement, families, and their communities are particularly worthy of commendation. Through effective teaching methods and broad participation, D.A.R.E. can help ensure that every child in America enjoys the opportunities he or she deserves.
    Now, Therefore, I, Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 8, 2009, as National D.A.R.E. Day. I call upon our youth, parents, educators, law enforcement personnel, and all the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities.
    In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009
Proclamation 8343—National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation, 2009
January 20, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
    As I take the sacred oath of the highest office in the land, I am humbled by the responsibility placed upon my shoulders, renewed by the courage and decency of the American people, and fortified by my faith in an awesome God.
    We are in the midst of a season of trial. Our Nation is being tested, and our people know great uncertainty. Yet the story of America is one of renewal in the face of adversity, reconciliation in a time of discord, and we know that there is a purpose for everything under heaven.
    On this Inauguration Day, we are reminded that we are heirs to over two centuries of American democracy, and that this legacy is not simply a birthright—it is a glorious burden. Now it falls to us to come together as a people to carry it forward once more.
    So in the words of President Abraham Lincoln, let us remember that: "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
    NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 20, 2009, a National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation, and call upon all of our citizens to serve one another and the common purpose of remaking this Nation for our new century.
    In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

# Men of the Time, eleventh edition/Austin, Alfred

​AUSTIN, Alfred, poet, critic, and journalist, born at Headingley, near Leeds, May 30, 1835. His father was a merchant in Leeds, and his mother was the sister of Joseph Locke, the eminent civil engineer. Both his parents being Catholics, he was sent to Stonyhurst College, and afterwards to St. Mary's College, Oscott. From Oscott he took his degree at the University of London in 1853, and in 1857 he was called to the bar at the Inner Temple. It is understood that Mr. Austin has abandoned the faith in which he was brought up. As he failed to obtain practice at the bar, he took to literary pursuits, and published anonymously a poem entitled "Randolph." His first acknowledged volume of verse, "The Season, a Satire," appeared in 1861, and was very severely criticised. Mr. Austin replied to his critics in a poem now suppressed, entitled "My Satire and its Censors," 1861. A third and revised edition of "The Season" appeared in 1869. His other poetical productions are:—"The Human Tragedy: a Poem," 1862, republished in an amended form 1876; "The Golden Age: a Satire," 1871; "Interludes," 1872; "Rome or Death!" 1873; "Madonna's Child," 1873; "The Tower of Babel," a drama, 1874; "Leszko the Bastard: a Tale of Polish Grief," 1877; and "Savonarola," a tragedy, 1881. He has published three novels:—"Five Years of it," 1858; "An Artist's Proof," 1864; and "Won by a Head," 1866; also "The Poetry of the Period," reprinted from Temple Bar, 1870; and "A Vindication of Lord Byron," 1869, occasioned by Mrs. Stowe's article, "The True Story of Lord Byron's Life." Mr. Austin is an ardent advocate of the policy of the Conservative party, and has made two unsuccessful attempts to enter Parliament, for Taunton in 1865, and for Dewsbury in 1880. He has written much for the Standard newspaper and for the Quarterly Review. During the sittings of the Œcumenical Council of the Vatican he represented the Standard at Rome, and he was a special correspondent of that journal at the headquarters of the King of Prussia in the Franco-German war. His political writings include "Russia before Europe," 1876; "Tory Horrors," 1876, a reply to Mr. Gladstone's "Bulgarian Horrors"; and "England's Policy and Peril: a letter to the Earl of Beaconsfield," 1877. He has now in the press a volume of lyrical poems, entitled "Soliloquies in Song." It is stated that he is to be the editor of the new Conservative monthly magazine. Mr. Austin resides at Swinford House, Ashford, Kent, and is a deputy-lieutenant for the county of Hereford.
