with Rome. Are they going to let go, abandon the fight? It is too soon to tell, they are adamant they are not. Here is a brief summary of the events which took place and which are making us fear for them: I asked Bishop de Galarreta to go and meet immediately with Bishop Rangel to try and stop that process so doubtful, hidden, and conducted behind our backs. Bishop de Galarreta ended up having two meetings with the Counsel of the Priestly Union; they are as one, the have an answer to everything, that don’t even discuss it anymore, they justify themselves. Bishop Rangel said: “It is your opinion, we have another. It is a question of prudence, we have another way of seeing things.” They insist that the want to pursue the same fight, that they are remaining friends with us. Amongst the arguments given to justify going their separate ways, one can find a bit of everything, arguments which we had never heard from these otherwise remarkable priests. “One must receive with a good spirit what comes from Rome, that is to say with a will to see the good in it”. “One must not refuse to be sedevacantist on paper only; one must not only obey in right but in deeds…” “To refuse the Roman offer would be schismatic”. All the arguments based on facts, on declarations and actions of Rome on the Fraternity of St Peter for instance, were answered with “we are different from the Fraternity of St Peter”… What Rome is offering, as far as we know: a personal prelature, one more Bishop. The exclusivity of the traditional rite (1962), but the obligation to ask the permission of the local Bishop when Mass is celebrated extra muros or when they wish to open a new place of worship. February 2002 A prevarication such as Assisi begs this public confession… which we have not heard from Campos.

Rizzo v. Goode (1976) (evidence of racially motivated police brutality) Suit dismissed on justiciability grounds (too conjectural about what a small group of police might do in the future) Rehnquist suggested an extension of Younger as a possible limit on federal review of state and local executive action Lower courts read this to indicate proceed with caution when dealing with important state and local government activities (which would likely include law enforcement) § 13.4 Exceptions to the Younger Doctrine “extraordinary circumstances”’ federal courts may enjoin pending state court proceedings bad faith prosecutions patently unconstitutional laws unavailability of an adequate state forum waiver (i.e. can’t be raised by court; must be raised by parties) Chapter 14 Federal Court Abstention to Avoid Duplicative Litigation Facts giving rise to issue: “reactive suits” - A party sued in state court might react by filing suit over same subject matter in federal court (or reverse); the party might perceive an advantage in one forum over the other Make sure it’s same parties and same issues. § 14.2 When Should Federal Courts Abstain Because of Duplicative Litigation in State Courts? Real property exception - first court with jurisdiction decides This is the one firmly entrenched exception to the rule No preclusion of concurrent jurisdiction in other areas Federal courts generally need not abstain to avoid duplicative litigation However, Brillhart v. Excess Insurance Co. (1942) Abstention was appropriate where federal court was convinced that the controversy would be settled by the state court proceeding Colo. River Water Conservation District v. United States (1976) (NOT AN ABSTENTION CASE) Rule: There are exceptional/extraordinary circumstances when a federal court should (for reasons of “wise” judicial administration) surrender jurisdiction Exceptional Circumstances Test Inconvenience of federal forum (location) Desirability of avoiding piecemeal litigation: Piecemeal litigation will exist if fed’l ct wants only to hear fed’l claims. If litigation is merely duplicative, no problems with this prong. Order in which jurisdiction was obtained by the concurrent forums (Moses Cone altered this to “how much progress has been made in the two actions”)
If a party introduces all or part of a writing or recorded statement, an adverse party may require the introduction, at that time, of any other part -- or any other writing or recorded statement -- that in fairness ought to be considered at the same time. ARTICLE II. JUDICIAL NOTICE Rule 201. Judicial Notice of Adjudicative Facts (a) Scope. This rule governs judicial notice of an adjudicative fact only, not a fact. (b) Kinds of Facts That May Be Judicially Noticed. The court may judicially notice a fact that is not subject to reasonable dispute because it: (1) is generally known within the trial court's territorial jurisdiction; or (2) can be accurately and readily determined from sources whose cannot reasonably be questioned. (c) Taking Notice. The court: (1) may take judicial notice on its own; or (2) must take judicial notice if a party requests it and the court is supplied with the necessary information. (d) Timing. The court may take judicial notice at any stage of the proceeding. (e) Opportunity to Be Heard. On timely request, a party is entitled to be heard on the propriety of taking judicial notice and the nature of the fact to be noticed. If the court takes judicial notice before notifying a party, the party, on request, is still entitled to be heard.

Banks/Comm’r v. Banaitis (2005) Banks: Civil suit against employer, fired for discrimination, settled after trial, on contingency fee Banaitis: Suit for interference w/ employment K, attempting to induce him to breach fiduciary duties, settled on contingency fee Issue: whether portion of a money judgment or settlement paid to a att’y under a contingent fee arrangement is income to the Holding: General rule – when a litigant’s recovery constitutes income, the litigant’s income includes the portion of the recovery paid to the att’y as a contingent fee Deduction issue: could have deducted legal expenses except for alternative minimum tax requirements which do not allow misc. itemized deductions Client retains ultimate dominion and control over the underlying claim – att’y is just an agent obligation to act o/b/o and for the exclusive benefit of the client Thus it is appropriate to treat the full amount of recovery as income to the principal Example: can exclude “income” from performing at a charity event; but must include (and can deduct) if designate that all the proceeds of a particular performance will benefit X charity
Painter values his work at $500 Painter is taxed on $1000 (received) Situation isn’t normal as this is an example of a crappy deal …if the FMVs are different, you have to look at the FMV of what the person received in order to decipher their taxable liability Situation 2 A professional artist provides an owner of an apartment building with a painting in exchange for 4 months rent Tax analysis 6 months worth of rent…FMV easy to find piece of unique art…FMV not easily found As an administrative choice, you almost always anchor the work of the thing easily valued to the thing not so easily valued This becomes even more difficult when you have two things that are not easily valued. Then, you just hire and appraiser. 6045 Requires information reporting by any “barter exchange” 1.6045-1(a)(4): the term barter exchange does not include arrangements that provide solely for the informal exchange of similar services on a noncommercial basis The IRS does not want to get into trivial matters, even if they are HS income. This sometimes applies to trivial matter with commercial bases as well. WINDFALLS AND GIFTS Punitive damages [24] Glenshaw Glass (US SC 1955) The Court holds that punitive damages are includable in taxable income Nothing limits the definition of gross income under 61 Punitive damages falls under “any source whatever” SC sets super precedent (super precedent…decisions that is entrenched and if changed would be a big deal) Income has never been limited before 104(a)(2): personal injury recoveries Compensatory and punitive damages are excluded from taxable income when it is a personal injury case Even though they are HS income Theory…all you are doing is making someone whole But, this doesn’t really draw a distinction to the GG case Mental or psychological injuries are not covered, just physical injuries Gifts [25-28] Income is not limited, except for exclusions, etc. Gifts are another type of exclusions 102: gifts and inheritances (a): Gifts are excluded from taxable income (b): you can exclude the initial gift, but not any income you derive from that gift e.g., if you get stock dividends as a gift Example (p. 25 (Notes))

FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE – SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT FORM Instructions The Distance Education Accrediting Commission requires all institutions to seeking to engage in Federal Student Assistance Title IV programs to obtain prior approval from the Commission and undergo an onsite visit. Prior approval serves two main purposes: 1) it provides institutions an opportunity to critically reflect on its operations, processes, and procedures prior to engaging in Federal Student Assistance Title IV programs and 2) it provides the onsite team with a comprehensive overview of the institution, its mission, and its processes that are integral to delivering quality distance education. The questions on this Compliance Assessment Form are designed to assist onsite team evaluators in determining whether institutions continue to meet the intent of DEAC Accreditation Standards when engaging in Federal Student Assistance Title IV programs. Evaluators are not limited to the questions on this rating form. This rating form is for the evaluator’s use only. Evaluators do not need to send this rating form to DEAC. DEAC evaluators decide whether institutions meet, partially meet, or do not meet Accreditation Standards. For any “partially meets” or “does not meet” ratings, the evaluator must provide a “Required Action” that instructs the institution on what they need to provide in order to demonstrate compliance with the identified standard. Evaluators should be careful to review institutions based only on the Accreditation Standards. Any recommendations beyond the scope of the Accreditation Standards should be provided under suggestions.

The Retail is a comedic everyman satire of the depersonalizing big-box retail grind. Aspiring writer Penn Reynard has just joined the ranks of America’s fifteen million retail workers: fresh out of college with an English degree, he can’t find a job anywhere except at the local big-box hardware store. Working returns, Penn experiences firsthand the often comical absurdity, chaos, and shenanigans of the retail world. At least he has a new romance with a coworker going for him—if he doesn’t screw it up. The constant pressures of dealing with hostile customers, oblivious coworkers, and overbearing management begin to take their toll on him, though, and as his desired career path threatens to fall out of reach, Penn struggles to break free of retail’s clutches.

If the Federal Bank is legal, can a state government tax the federal bank like any other business operating within its borders? McCulloch v Maryland 1819 Facts of the Case In 1816, Congress chartered The Second Bank of the United States. In 1818, the state of Maryland passed legislation to impose taxes on the bank. James W. McCulloch, the cashier of the Baltimore branch of the bank, refused to pay the tax. Question The case presented two questions: Did Congress have the authority to establish the federal bank? Did the Maryland law taxing the federal bank unconstitutionally interfere with congressional powers? Decision: 7 votes for McCulloch, 0 vote(s) against Legal provision: US Const. Art 1, Section 8 Clauses 1 and 18 In a unanimous decision, the Court held that 1st - Congress had the power to incorporate the bank - Chief Justice Marshall noted that Congress possessed unenumerated (IMPLIED) powers not explicitly outlined in the Constitution. The case turned on the interpretation of Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 “The Necessary and Proper Clause” (a/k/a The Elastic Clause). Chief Justice John Marshall pointed out that while the word “bank” did not appear in Congress’s enumerated powers, the creation of a bank was a means of executing its listed powers: “Although, among the enumerated powers of government, we do not find the word ‘bank,’…we find the great powers to lay and collect taxes; to borrow money; to regulate commerce…” The ruling’s description of what kind of actions can be justly implied, however, restricts the scope of the Necessary and Proper Clause to those laws that are “within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution…” 2nd - Maryland could not tax instruments of the national government employed in the execution of constitutional powers. CJ Marshall also held that while the states retained the power of

Impacts: Competitiveness A. Federalism is key to competitiveness Kincaid 90 - Professor of Law, Executive Director at the US Advisory Commission - (John, “Annals off the American Academy of Political and Social Science” Vol. 509, American Federalism: The Third Century, pp. 139-152, http://www.jstor.org/stable/1046444) The chief political objective of competition is to prevent tyranny – a monopolization of public or private power. As a fundamental principle of liberal democracy, competition is embedded in democratic notions of elections, economic behavior, and church-state separation, among others. Yet steady efforts have been made to drive competition out of federalism, first by the Federalist founders who sought to end ruinous economic competition between the states, then by the dual federalist who sought to segregate public and private power and federal and state power, and then by the cooperative federalist who sought to counteract economic monopolization with majoritarian federal power. It is not without reason that competitive federalism has a bad name in many circles; nevertheless, federalism can hardly survive without competitive tensions, especially a competitive federal-state tension that can prevent one partner from swallowing the other. B. Competitiveness key to hegemony Khalilzad, 1995 (Zalmay, Senior Analyst at RAND, “Losing the Moment? The United States and the World After the Cold War,” Washington Quarterly, Spring, Lexis) The United States is unlikely to preserve its military and technological dominance if the U.S. economy declines seriously. In such an environment, the domestic economic and political base for global leadership would diminish and the United States would probably incrementally withdraw from the world, become inward-looking, and abandon more and more of its external interests. As the United States weakened, others would try to fill the Vacuum. To sustain and improve its economic strength, the United States must maintain its technological lead in the economic realm. Its success will depend on the choices it makes. In the past, developments such as the agricultural and industrial revolutions produced fundamental changes positively affecting the relative position of those who were able to take advantage of them and negatively affecting those who did not. Some argue that the world may be at the beginning of another such transformation, which will shift the sources of wealth and the relative position of classes and nations. If the United States fails to recognize the change and adapt its institutions, its relative position will necessarily worsen.
5. Below write a catchy slogan the Anti-Federalists or Federalists might use to get others to support their side of the Constitution debate. Hint: Think of a short but powerful phrase you might see on a bumper sticker. Name: _______________________________________ Exit Slip: Many of the ideas in the Federalist/Anti-Federalist debates seem to some quite relevant today. Some would say it all boils down to a question of the benefits of a strong central government versus states’ rights or the rights of states to make their own decisions. Others would say it is a question of more government controls versus an individual’s personal right to make his or her own decision as to what is best for him or her. After studying both sides of the debates for and against ratification, how do you feel? Based on all that you’ve learned, would you classify yourself as a Federalist or Anti-Federalist and why? If the 1787 Constitution were presented today for ratification, would it be ratified? Why or why not? What issues are still relevant today as in1787? What issues are different? Directions: Provide your response in paragraph format. Your paragraph should be at least 5 sentences long and answer all questions in bold above.
Words matter. They are the most basic building blocks of written and spoken communication. Choose your words carefully – be precise and concise. 1. Verbs Verbs tell your audience what to do. Make sure they know who does what. i. Use active voice Active voice makes it clear who is supposed to do what. It eliminates ambiguity about responsibilities. Not “It must be done., but “You must do it.” Passive voice obscures who is responsible for what and is one of the biggest problems with government documents. Don’t confuse passive voice with past tense. In an active sentence, the person or agency that’s acting is the subject of the sentence. In a passive sentence, the person or item that is acted upon is the subject of the sentence. Passive sentences often do not identify who is performing the action. Passive voice Active voice The lake was polluted by the company. The company polluted the lake. New regulations were proposed. We proposed new regulations. The following information must be included in the application for it to be considered complete. You must include the following information in your application.
