• Commentary: 'Cat's Paw' Liability Theory Becomes the Law of the Land

A monkey convinces a cat to stick his paw into the fire and pull out the chestnuts roasting there, or so the fable goes. While the cat is nursing his wounds, the monkey makes off with the chestnuts. The monkey gets what he wants and the cat, who didn't particularly care about the chestnuts, is left smarting. There is a lesson here - one that should not be lost on employers. Those convinced by others to take an ill-advised action may suffer consequences. Under the "cat's paw" liability theory, an employer may be liable for unlawful employment discrimination when a biased non-decision maker (the monkey) convinces an unbiased decision maker (the cat) to take action based on the bias of the non-decision maker. Although lower courts have recognized this liability theory for some time, the U....

• Law of the Land

It is amazing that any government official could take a stance against SB 1070. It is incumbent upon all government officials to adhere to the Constitution and support existing laws. The Arizona law only created one misdemeanor violation for illegal aliens (trespassing). The balance of the 16 pages of the law are concerned with enforcing existing federal laws. The idea that this is somehow inappropriate is racist and unconstitutional at its foundation. By attempting to subvert this law, Congressman Joe Baca is attempting to deprive the law-abiding citizens of our country their rights under the 14th Amendment. Since he has obviously not read either SB 1070 nor the United States Constitution, I will present the high points. SB 1070 specifically and clearly states that the violation of any...

• One Nation, Under Watch; Despite Outcry Over Civil Liberties, the Patriot Act has Become the Law of the Land

While the law is one of the most far-reaching and drastic in US history, it is not the first time the government has moved to utilize a time of real or perceived crisis to increase its powers of surveillance and detention (see "Learning from the Past?," end of this page). And while portions of the bill will be reviewed again in two years, much of what is considered its most invasive components remains. "We rushed to put together legislation that we thought would safeguard us from another terrorist attack," US Rep. Don Young, R-AK, said in the aftermath of the House reauthorization vote. "In the process we have created a bill that I feel takes away from our constitutional freedom. This is not patriotism, this is Big Brother. What some might call the Orwellian manifestation of "Big Broth...
