In Their Own Words - McCrory

				
Posted  06/1/15
								

				 
								 				
-- “WHILE I SUPPORT THE PURPOSE OF THIS [AG-GAG] BILL, I BELIEVE IT DOES NOT ADEQUATELY PROTECT OR GIVE CLEAR GUIDANCE TO HONEST EMPLOYEES WHO UNCOVER CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. I AM CONCERNED THAT SUBJECTING THESE EMPLOYEES TO POTENTIAL CIVIL PENALTIES WILL CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT DISCOURAGES THEM FROM REPORTING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.”

In Their Own Words -- Alito

				
Posted  05/28/15
								

				 
								 				
-- "As petitioners see things, the first-filed action remains 'pending' even after it has been dismissed. . . This interpretation does not comport with any known usage of the term 'pending.'  Under this interpretation, Marbury v Madison . . . is still 'pending.' So is the trial of Socrates.."

Justice Samuel Alito writing this week on behalf of an unanimous Supreme Court that rejected an interpretation of the...

In Their Own Words -- Caplan

				
Posted  05/26/15

Africa scholar Gerald Caplan, quoting the Economist, in his opinion piece on the failings of the United Nations to protect whistleblowers, noting "the UN’s Ethics Office, which examines complaints of retaliation against whistleblowers, received 297 such complaints...

In Their Own Words — Snowden

				
Posted  05/22/15
								

				 
								 				
-- "Whatever you think about Rand Paul or his politics, it's important to remember that when he took the floor to say 'No' to any length of reauthorization of the Patriot Act, he was speaking for the majority of Americans–more than 60% of whom want to see this kind of mass surveillance reformed or ended.”

Posted  05/21/15
								

				 
								 				
-- "The proposed criminal fine and sentence in this case should sound the alarm to food companies across the country – we are watching, and we are expecting you to hold yourselves to a standard reflective of the trust that your consumers have placed in you.  No more excuses.  A lot of people got very sick because of the conduct in this case and we are committed to doing all we can to make sure that does not happen...

THE DEFENDANTS TOOK IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DONATIONS MEANT TO HELP CANCER PATIENTS, BUT SPENT IT ON THEMSELVES AND THEIR FUNDRAISERS.  I’M PLEASED THAT THE FTC AND OUR STATE PARTNERS ARE ACTING TO END THIS APPALLING SCHEME.”

In Their Own Words -- Sorkin
