# Mendoza v. WIS International, Inc./Dissent Wood

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
* Dissenting Opinions Baker Hart Wood
​RHONDA K. WOOD, Justice, dissenting. Because I think the majority's analysis is inherently flawed and only further confuses this court's application of amendment 80, § 3 of the Arkansas Constitution, I dissent. Arkansas Rule of Evidence 402 reads, "All relevant evidence is admissible, except as otherwise provided by statute . . . ." Ark. R. Evid. 402 (2015) (emphasis added). Therefore, our Rule of Evidence, which this court alone may promulgate, permits the General Assembly to pass statutes regarding the relevancy and admissibility of evidence.
Inexplicably, the majority finds that our rules do not mean what they say. Instead of ​giving the words of Rule 402 their ordinary meaning, the majority incorrectly interprets Rule 402 as stating "all relevant evidence is admissible, except as otherwise provided by statute [unless it is a Rule of Evidence which is solely the province of the supreme court]." Ark. R. Evid. 402. The majority's interpretation renders the language "except as otherwise provided by statute" meaningless.
In addition, the majority attempts to rectify its ruling with conflicting precedent by rewriting its analysis in Bedell v. Williams, 2012 Ark. 75, 386 S.W.3d 493. In Bedell, we held that Arkansas Code Annotated section 16-114-207, which provides medical-care providers the privilege of refusing to testify to certain matters, did not violate the separation-of-powers doctrine. In upholding the constitutionality of the statute, we explained that the court, via a Rule of Evidence, had provided the General Assembly the power to enact such statutes:
   This court has specifically given the General Assembly the power to enact statutes regarding testimonial privilege. See Ark. R. Evid 501 (no person has a privilege to refuse to testify or prevent another from being a witness "except as otherwise provided by constitution or statute") (emphasis added).
Bedell, 2012 Ark. 75, at 17, 386 S.W.3d at 505. Thus, despite our holding in Johnson in 2009 that the General Assembly cannot enact a statute that "clearly limit[s] the evidence that may be introduced," our court more recently held in Bedell that our words mean what they say.
Despite this clear precedent, the majority now concludes that the statute in Bedell is distinguishable from the statute for the following reason:
   In Rule 501 of the Arkansas Rules of Evidence, we granted the legislature the authority to enact statutes regarding privilege because the power of the legislature to enact statutes regarding privilege is substantive law and does not conflict with amendment 80 and the separation-of-powers doctrine. Rule 402, however, is procedural in that it dictates what evidence is relevant.

PREFATORY REMARKS
The book herewith handed to the Church presents historical data in such form, we believe, as will be of much value to all readers. It is to be hoped that the searcher after facts relating to the rise and progress of the Mennonite Church in America will, in this "Mennonite Hand-book of Information," find much of interest and value which has never before appeared in print.
Here, brief accounts appear of events that happened along the historical thread of more than two hundred sixty years that may be used by missionaries for general review of the advance and progress of the Church in the past. The committee also designed that such a book should find ready place in our schools as a text-book on purely historical subjects relating to the development of the Mennonite Church and the spiritual progress it has made from generation to generation since its establishment in America.
In this work the efforts of the committee have been expended in a studied presentation of every link in the chain of events leading from its earliest beginnings up to the present day in maintaining the Articles of her Confession of Faith. Such facts should be of great value to any one making inquiry into our faith, doctrine and practices, and particularly so to such as are converted and wish to unite with the Church.
Others desiring to know our doctrines and the ​scriptural basis on which they are found, should find in this book a storehouse of information that could nowhere else be found outside of the Bible itself. The presentation of the matter found in this work, has placed something of a burden on each member of the committee, and it is believed that the finished product has been worth while, and will be gratefully received by an appreciative public.

# Mengelkoch v. Industrial Welfare Commission/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Per Curiam Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
393 U.S. 83
Mengelkoch v. Industrial Welfare Commission
A three-judge federal court, convened pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2281, determined that 'there is no jurisdiction for a three-judge court' and entered an order dissolving itself. 284 F.Supp. 950, 956. The single district judge in whose court the case was originally filed considered further and dismissed the case without prejudice under the doctrine of abstention, stating in his memorandum opinion that '(t)he order dissolving the three-judge court is incorporated in this memorandum by reference.' 284 F.Supp. 956, 957. Appellants appeal from both judgments. In these circumstances, we have no jurisdiction to entertain a direct appeal from the decision of the single judge; such jurisdiction is possessed only by the appropriate United States Court of Appeals. 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Moreover, we have held that when, as here, a three-judge court dissolves itself for want of jurisdiction, an appeal lies to the appropriate Court of Appeals and not to this Court. Wilson v. City of Port Lavaca, 391 U.S. 352, 88 S.Ct. 1502, 20 L.Ed.2d 636.
Although the appellants have lodged in the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit a protective appeal from the decision of the single judge, it does not appear from the record that such an appeal has been filed with respect to the three-judge order. Therefore, we vacate the order of the three-judge court and remand the case to the District Court so that a timely appeal may be taken to the Court of Appeals. See Wilson v. City of Port Lavaca, supra; Pennsylvania Public Utility Comm'n v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 382 U.S. 281, 282, 86 S.Ct. 423, 15 L.Ed.2d 324. The appeal from the decision of the single judge is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
It is so ordered.
Order of three-judge court vacated and case remanded; appeal from order of single judge dismissed.

# Mother Goose for Grownups/The Touching Tenderness of King Karl the First

This poem was published in Carryl’s 1900 anthology Mother Goose for Grownups, of poems that are parodies of Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
For hunger and thirst King Karl the First  Had stoical, stern disdain: The food that he ordered consistently bordered  On what was described as plain. Much trouble his cook ambitiously took  To tickle his frugal taste, But all of his savoury science and slavery  Ended in naught but waste.
Said the steward: “The thing to tempt the King  And charm his indifferent eye No doubt is a tasty, delectable pasty.  Make him a blackbird pie!” The cook at these words baked twenty-four birds,  And set them before the King, And the two dozen odious, bold, and melodious  Singers began to sing.
The King in surprise said: “Dozens of pies  In the course of our life we’ve tried, But never before us was served up a chorus  Like this that we hear inside!” With a thunderous look he ordered the cook  And the steward before him brought, And with a beatified smile: “He is satisfied!”  Both of these innocents thought.
“Of sinners the worst,” said Karl the First,  “Is the barbarous ruffian that A song-bird would slaughter, unless for his daughter  Or wife he is trimming a hat. We’ll punish you so for the future you’ll know  That from mercy you can’t depart. Observe that your lenient, kind, intervenient  King has a tender heart!”
He saw that the cook in a neighboring brook  Was drowned (as he quite deserved), And ordered the steward at once to be skewered.  (The steward was much unnerved.) “It’s a curious thing,” said the merciful King,  “That monarchs so tender are, So oft we’re affected that we have suspected that  We are too kind by far.”
The moral: The mercy of men and Kings Are apt to be wholly dissimilar things. In spite of “The Merchant of Venice,” we’re pained To note that the quality’s sometimes strained.
# Mother Goose for Grownups/The Unusual Ubiquity of the Inquisitive Gander

This poem was published in Carryl’s 1900 anthology Mother Goose for Grownups, of poems that are parodies of Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
A gander dwelt upon a farm  And no one could resist him, For had he died, such was his charm,  His neighbors would have missed him: His scorn for any loud display, His cheerful hissing day by day, Would win your heart in such a way  You almost could have kissed him.
This bird was always nosing ’round.  Most patiently he waited Until an open door he found,  And then investigated. He loved to poke, he loved to peek, In every knothole, so to speak, He quickly thrust his prying beak,  For what was hid he hated.
The farm exhausted: “Now,” said he:  “My policy’s expansion. When one’s convinced how things should be  The proper course he can’t shun.” His mind made up, he followed it, Relying on his native wit, And soon had wandered, bit by bit,  Through all his master’s mansion
“At least,” he said: “It’s not my fault  If everything’s not seen to: I’ve gone from garret down to vault  And glanced into the lean-to. In every room I’ve chanced to stop; A supervising glance to drop, I’ve looked below, I’ve looked on top,  Behind, and in between too!”
One thing alone he found to blame,  As thus his time he squandered, For, seeing not the farmer’s dame,  Into her room he wandered, And mounting nimbly on the bed: “Why bless my careful soul!” he said: “These pillows are as hard as lead.  Now, how comes that?” he pondered.
The farmer’s dame for half an hour  Had watched the bird meander, And finding him within her power,  She leaped upon the gander. “Why, how de do, my gander coy?” She shouted: “What will be my joy To dream to-night on you, my boy!”  (This was no baseless slander.)
For with a stoutish piece of string  Securely was this fool tied, And by a leg and by a wing  Unto an oaken stool tied: While, pinning towels around her gown, She plucked him with relentless frown, And stuffed the pillows with his down,  And roasted him for Yuletide.
The moral is: When you explore  Don’t try to be superior: Be cautious, and retire before  Your safety grows inferior. ’Tis best to stay upon the coast, Or some day you will be like most Of all that bold exploring host  That’s gone to the interior.

# Mother Goose for Grownups/The Singular Sangfroid of Baby Bunting

This poem was published in Carryl’s 1900 anthology Mother Goose for Grownups, of poems that are parodies of Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
Bartholomew Benjamin Bunting  Had only three passions in life, And one of the trio was hunting,  The others his babe and his wife: And always, so rigid his habits,  He frolicked at home until two, And then started hunting for rabbits,  And hunted till fall of the dew.
Belinda Bellonia Bunting,  Thus widowed for half of the day, Her duty maternal confronting,  With baby would patiently play. When thus was her energy wasted  A patented food she’d dispense. (She had bought it the day that they pasted  The posters all over her fence.)
But Bonaparte Buckingham Bunting,  The infant thus blindly adored, Replied to her worship by grunting,  Which showed he was brutally bored. ’Twas little he cared for the troubles  Of life. Like a crab on the sands, From his sweet little mouth he blew bubbles,  And threatened the air with his hands.
Bartholomew Benjamin bunting  One night, as his wife let him in, Produced as the fruit of his hunting  A cottontail’s velvety skin, Which, seeing young Bonaparte wriggle,  He gave him without a demur, And the babe with an aqueous giggle  He swallowed he whole of the fur!
Belinda Bellonia Bunting  Behaved like a consummate loon: Her offspring in frenzy confronting  She screamed herself mottled maroon: She felt of his vertebræ spinal,  Expecting he’d surely succumb, And gave him one vigorous, final,  Hard prod in the pit of his tum.
But Bonaparte Buckingham Bunting,  At first but a trifle perplexed, By a change in his manner of grunting  Soon showed he was terribly vexed. He displayed not a sign of repentance  But spoke, in a dignified tone, The only consecutive sentence  He uttered. ’Twas: “Lemme alone.”
The moral: The parent that uses  Precaution his folly regrets: An infant gets all that he chooses  An infant chews all that he gets. And colics? He constantly has ’em  So long as his food is the best But he’ll swallow with never a spasm  What ostriches couldn’t digest!
# Mother Goose for Grownups/To Constance

This poem was the dedication in Carryl’s 1900 anthology Mother Goose for Grownups, of poems that are parodies of Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
In memory of other days, Dear critic, when your whispered praise  Cheered on the limping pen. How short, how sweet those younger hours, How bright our suns, how few our showers,  Alas, we knew not then!
If but, long leagues across the seas, The trivial charm of rhymes like these  Shall serve to link us twain An instant in the olden spell That once we knew and loved so well,  I have not worked in vain!

# Mother Goose for Grownups/The Remarkable Regimen of the Sprat Family

This poem was published in Carryl’s 1900 anthology Mother Goose for Grownups, of poems that are parodies of Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
The Sprats were four in number,  Including twins in kilts: All day Jack carted lumber,  All day his wife made quilts. Thus heartlessly neglected  Twelve hours in twenty-four, As might have been expected,  The twins sat on the floor: And all the buttons, I should state, They chanced to find, they promptly ate.  This was not meat, but still it’s true  We did the same when we were two.
The wife (whose name was Julia)  Maintained an ample board, But one thing was peculiar,  Lean meat she quite abhorred. Here also should be stated  Another fact: ’tis that Her spouse abominated  The very taste of fat. This contrast curious of taste Precluded any thought of waste,  For all they left of any meal  No self-respecting dog would steal.
No generous table d’hôte meal,  No dainties packed in tins, But only bowls of oatmeal  They gave the wretched twins; And yet like princes pampered  Had lived those babes accursed, Could they have fed unhampered:—  I have not told the worst! Since nothing from the dining-room Was left to feed the cook and groom,  It seems that these domestics cruel  Were led to steal the children’s gruel!
The twins, all hopes resigning,  And wounded to the core, Confined themselves to dining  On buttons off the floor. No passionate resentment  The docile babes displayed: Each day in calm contentment  Three hearty meals they made. And daily Jack and Mrs. Sprat Ate all the lean and all the fat,  And every day the groom and cook  The children’s meal contrived to hook.
But when the twins grew older,  As twins are apt to do, And, shoulder touching shoulder,  Sat Sundays in their pew. They saw no Christian glory  In parting with a dime, And in the offertory  Dropped buttons every time. Said they: “What’s good enough for Sprats Is good enough for heathen brats.”  (I most sincerely wish I knew  What was the heathen’s point of view.)
The moral: Anecdotes abound Of buttons in collections found. Thus on the wheels of progress go, And heathens reap what Christians sew!

# National Thanksgiving Proclamation

The National Thanksgiving Proclamation was the first formal proclamation of Thanksgiving in America. George Washington, the first President of the United States, made this proclamation on October 3, 1789, in New York City
​By The President of the United States of America. a Proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor,—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be offered by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—that we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other Transgressions—to enable us all, whether in in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
