Detroit's Use of Kevyn Orr's Law Firm: A Conflict of Interest? – Deadline Detroit
Supporters of Orr call it an ideal pairing, adding familiarity and expertise to what could be make-or-break negotiations. Detractors fear it's a dangerous conflict because Jones Day also represents major banks and bondholders to whom Detroit could owe millions of dollars.
"The question is: Who are they representing? Are they representing the interest of the city of Detroit, or are they just looking to get paid?" asked Ed McNeil, special assistant to the president of the city's largest union, AFSCME Council 25. |

UPDATE 1-Lawyers square off in first battle over Detroit bankruptcy bid | Reuters
We believe those decisions must be made and can only be made by this court in actions brought before this court," said Lennox, an attorney for the law firm Jones Day, which has been hired by the city. Kevyn Orr, a corporate bankruptcy lawyer tapped by Michigan officials in March as Detroit's emergency manager, also worked for Jones Day before joining the city.

So much for ANY ethics thanks to the Owebama disaster... and Obama directed Racism..
Zimmerman Prosecutor Angela Corey Criminally Indicted By Citizens' Grand Jury For Allegedly Falsifying Arrest Warrant And Complaint - WSJ.com Florida State's Attorney Angela Corey has been indicted by a citizens' grand jury, convening in Ocala, Florida, over the alleged falsification of the arrest warrant and complaint that lead to George Zimmerman being charged with the second degree murder of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. The indictment of Corey, which was handed down last week (see Citizens Grand Jury), charges Corey with intentionally withholding photographic evidence of the injuries to George Zimmerman's head in the warrant she allegedly rushed to issue under oath, in an effort to boost her reelection prospects. At the outset of this case, black activists such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who whipped up wrath against Zimmerman, demanded that he be charged with murder, after local police had thus far declined to arrest him pending investigation. Following Corey's criminal complaint charging Zimmerman, legal experts such as Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz condemned her for falsely signing an arrest affidavit under oath, which intentionally omitted exculpatory evidence consisting of the photographs showing the injuries Zimmerman sustained, and rushing to charge him with second degree murder under political pressure. Dershowitz called her actions unethical and themselves crimes (http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/d...murder-charge- article-1.1080161). |

Yeah nice going Florida, Zimmerman and gangbanger kill and go free, but an abused mom gets 20 years. Alec and conservatives are lousy law makers and obviously apply the law by the most stupid of standards.

Ah, MSNBC, the station that gave us Chris asking if women ever sext (as if Weinergate was a gay thing), tampon earrings and laid all manner of ridiculous blame on conservatives for Detroit's downfall, now tells us Detroit is becoming the country's most "libertarian city."
Detroit’s debt is $18 billion. … While it suffered for years under mismanagement and corruption under many Democratic officials, today Detroit is fast becoming the most libertarian city in the United States. In many areas, there are basically no public services besides decaying roads and bombed-out infrastructure. 40 percent of the streetlights don’t work at night, and that leaves a troubled city stuck in the dark. Even police and emergency services have literally become optional. Think about it like this: Across the country, a call to police brings a response in about 11 minutes. In Detroit now, the average is 58 minutes, and many times it takes much longer if the police come at all.

MSNBC's Chris Hayes:
What I find most frustrating is what we have seen is incarceration go up at the same time that crime is going down, and yet the fear level is still stoked, even though what we have objectively is less murders every year, we have less crime, we are living in a safer society, and we are putting more people in prison.

G'morning, Steve:
My first reaction to more people in prison is that they're imprisoning more non violent drug offenders... While that's TRUE, they're also putting more bad guys in there too. So, the answer to the crime rate going down is putting the RIGHT people in prison... But, in the main, I agree with you. If a law is WORKING, why would we want to change it? Similarly, I didn't understand why, if the Voting Rights Act is WORKING, we would want to change it.. Kind of stupid, huh? excon |

Contrary to what some Democrats believe Illegals don't have the right to vote, nor should they... those with a right to vote.. are only entitled to ONE vote... not however many they can get away with.
A photo ID like is required in most of the world... ensured that only one vote is made.. and its made only by those entitled to cast a vote. |

Don't worry, you got an old white Republican dude that supports voter ID working on a fix.
