The Supreme Court has held that an individual relinquishes any Fourth Amendment interest in information that he or she voluntarily discloses to a third party. Known as the "Third Party Doctrine," this controversial rule is increasingly problematic in an age where a large proportion of personal communications and transactions are carried out over the Internet. Internet users expose virtually all of the information they generate online-e-mails, web-surfing histories, search terms, and more-to online service providers. As such, many scholars have assumed that Internet information will be unprotected by the Fourth Amendment. Yet the information disclosed to these online third parties is generally not exposed to human beings at all; rather, it is processed entirely by automated equipment. Ne...

President Bush signed a housing bill Wednesday intended to rescue about 15 percent of the cash-strapped homeowners nationwide who are in fear of foreclosure in the next year or so. In Utah, several economists and real-estate experts said the measure could help stabilize the local housing market by sending a message to creditors that the government is willing to intervene. The measure is designed to help stabilize markets, in part by making credit more easily available amid rising defaults and falling home values.

A: To deploy the $400 per year for individuals and $800 per year for couples Making Work Pay tax cut quicker than any tax cut in history - it will be spread out over weekly paychecks -boosting the stimulative effect. As President Obama said last this weekend, "[B]y April 1st, a typical family will begin taking home at least $65 more every month. Never before in our history has a tax cut taken effect faster or gone to so many hardworking Americans." An extra $65 each month could mean being able to fill up the tank for a week, to pay for a week's worth of health care bills, or paying the monthly bill for telephone for the average American family.
