Has transparency been lost in a never ending legal battle?

In a legal battle that has lasted for years, This Friday, you can watch the Oral argument in T690 v. LC on Sept. 18 @ 1000, here, under Division III.

This will certainly not be the end, but will there ever be an end?

Summary of a modernized Charles Dickens novel, Bleak House, about Jarndyce and Jarndyce transformed into a real court case in interminable legal proceedings.

Lincoln County v Teamsters 690 or (Jarndyce v Jarndyce) concerns the fate of many a man's livelihoods. The case has dragged on through generations of legal counsel, leaving workers to work without a contract, legal costs amounting to far more than would have ever been granted by contract, and no end in sight.

Teamsters, like other unions, take their foe to the Chancery, knowing it would be better to "Suffer any wrong that can be done you rather than come here!"

“Jarndyce and Jarndyce drones on. Over time, this scarecrow of a suit has become so complicated that no man alive knows what it means. The parties to it understand it least, but it has been observed that no two Chancery lawyers can talk about it for five minutes without coming to a total disagreement as to all the premises.”

County employees have retired, moved to other jobs, new employees hired, and still no end in sight.

In several a rulings, the Chancery has declared the allegations to both parties permissive, only to later require them mandatory. Both sides appear to be innocent, yet but both sides found guilty. Each party thus far has been instructed to redress the original grievance without clear direction. A requirement has been created by the Chancery to negotiate a subject that is not required to see any compromises by either side. After nothing comes from a meeting that was doomed from the start, another round in front of the Chancery will surely fail again to yield any conclusion and the case will move on to another generation of attorneys and workers to argue interminably.

Grassroots Revolt Against GOP Elitism

By Matthew Hayward In the complex arena of political strategy, even those who occupy the highest echelons of power can falter, demonstrating a profound disconnect between their strategic intentions and operational execution. The recent failure to secure the endorsement for their preferred candidate, Dave Reichert, is not merely a setback; it is a revealing exposé of the grave strategic missteps at the heart of the Republican party's establishment in Washington State. These seasoned campaigners, these stewards of conservative strategy, have evidently underestimated the critical importance of grassroots engagement. While I acknowledge the logic behind promoting an established politician strategically positioned geographically and perceived as moderate in our swing state—a strategy driven by considerations of electability, which admittedly has its merits—the incessant focus on this argument and complete lack of any meaningful engagement and education has alienated the grassroots yet a...

Could Today Be the Cheapest Price for Bitcoin Ever Again? Here’s Why

By: Matthew Hayward Current price Nov 10, 2024 76.72K 80.43K Is Now the Time to Buy Bitcoin? Bitcoin has come a long way since its early days as a niche digital asset. Today, as we enter another phase in its established four-year cycle , Bitcoin may be at a historic high, but it could soon become the new baseline price. This cycle, which has repeatedly shown Bitcoin’s resilience and long-term growth potential, suggests that the current price might be the lowest we’ll see again. While recent political shifts, including Donald Trump’s landslide election victory, have added new momentum and support for Bitcoin, the timing within the cycle itself makes this an ideal moment to consider buying. A Political Shift: From Anti-Crypto to Pro-Crypto For years, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have faced an uphill battle against a U.S. government determined to restrict and control their growth. This opposition was largely led by Gary Gensler, who waged an outright war against crypto from hi...

When the Census Goes Beyond the Constitution

By Matthew Hayward The Census: From Counting People to Collecting Control The Constitution established the census as a straightforward tool for representation—nothing more, nothing less. Article I, Section 2 mandates an enumeration every ten years to determine how many representatives each state is allotted. That’s it. Simple. Effective. Proportional representation was the goal, and the census was designed to achieve it. So how did we end up here—with government agents asking about the number of bathrooms in our homes, our ethnic identities, and everything in between? This is the creeping hand of central planning at work. What began as a tool to empower individual representation has been twisted into a mechanism to empower bureaucrats, planners, and those who believe they know better than free individuals how to run their own lives. Central Planning: The False Promise of Data The justification for prying into the most intimate details of our lives is always the same: “We need the ...
