That's not how criminal law works. A defense to a crime has to be created by statute (Ut. Code Ann. §76-1-103). Here's how Utah's law would read if the bill passed:
qwints
qwints
Despite the fact that Greene was horrible at articulating it, this bill is problematic. It's removing consent as a defense and would criminalize bondage involving physical restraint:
Ever heard of Henry Rayhons?
But that's exactly the exception this bill removes. Prior consent is no longer a defense. Here's the modification:
Utah only banned marital rape in 1991. Maybe he didn't get the memo.
As you'll see from the NLRB website, the law protects employees who work together to improve their wages or working conditions. There is no requirement that this be related to health or safety (that's what OSHA does). As the website shows, Section 7 protects employees who did things like discussing wages with other…
They can fire them for any non-prohibited reason, which is not the same thing. You generally can't fire groups of employees for complaining about their working conditions.
That's pretty much exactly backwards. The National Labor Relations Act protects disgruntled employees (who are working together to improve working conditions) but not whistleblowers, who are protected by, among other things, the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
I agree. I find the show much more pernicious when CEOs get credit for helping their financially struggling employees without any analysis of how the CEOs systemic decisions created that in the first place.
"Right to Work" means that unions can't negotiate for union shops (i.e. it's not possible for a collective bargaining contract to require all employees to pay dues to a union). "At-will employment" allows employers and employees to terminate their relationship at any time for any reason. Every US state is an at-will…
Most of Europe has quite early limits on abortion on demand. (e.g. 12 weeks in France and Germany, 18 weeks in Sweden). Those countries, however, make abortion widely accessible. The issue here isn't the time limit on its own, since 99% of abortions wouldn't be affected by the limit, but the system anti-choicers set…
Police have no legal duty to protect individuals. No individual in the US can sue police for negligently failing to protect them.
No, that's the disputed issue in the lawsuit - whether colleges have the same sort of duty to students that hotels do to their guests.
No, one the claims (count 1 of the lawsuit) is specifically for the school negligently failing to prevent the rape.
The only possible exception to voluntary intoxication not being a defense is if a crime requires specific intent, e.g. theft requires the specific intent to deprive the owner of property, and it's possible for a person to be so incapacitated that they could not form that intent. With that narrow exception, which…
It sounded like they were filming from their house.
There are constitutional issues here when it comes to drafting such laws that punish photography of people in public for prurient purposes.. See e.g. Texas Law Struck Down.
No, the ruling clearly says that the photography was not illegal because "This Court finds that no individual clothed and positioned in such a manner in a public area in broad daylight in the presence of countless other individuals could have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Because the defendant's actions…
Photography is not a crime.
