When police or prosecutors conceal significant exculpatory or impeaching material, we hold, it is ordinarily incumbent on the state to set the record straight. - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

That Damn Fake -Str8 Lesbain is at it again

This Sick bitch is at it again, she has a child with her lover, then wants out, but knows if she stay in VT, she would a have share custody with her partner, so what does she do, she runs her fake str8 ass to Virginia, claims to be straight again and hope to use VA's anti-gays laws in her favor. This is really sick.


RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – A Virginia woman is continuing her lengthy battle to deny child-visitation rights to her former lesbian partner. 
 
In a brief filed March 3 with the Virginia Court of Appeals, Lisa Miller’s attorneys argue that state law bars the enforcement of a Vermont court order awarding Janet Jenkins visitation rights for 6-year-old Isabella.
Miller’s lawyer, Mathew Staver, said federal law can recognize the order, but cannot force Virginia to enforce it. Staver, dean of the law school at the conservative Christian-centered Liberty University, also said an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that took effect in 2007 bars same-sex marriage and enforcement of same-sex civil unions – an issue he said Miller’s litigation hadn’t previously introduced. 
 
Virginia and Vermont courts have ruled in Jenkins’ favor numerous times since she started fighting for visitation rights upon the dissolution of the civil union she and Miller obtained in Vermont in 2000. The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear Miller’s appeals. 
 
Jenkins’ lawyer, Rebecca K. Glenberg of the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, said that the appeal “has nothing new” and Miller can’t introduce Virginia’s marriage amendment now after failing to do so previously. She also said that previous court rulings have determined that under federal law, Virginia courts must enforce the Vermont court’s orders in this case. 
 
The Virginia Supreme Court ruled in June that a federal law aimed at preventing parents from crossing state lines to evade custody rulings requires Virginia courts to enforce Vermont’s order. The Vermont Supreme Court also ruled in Jenkins’ favor in 2006. 
 
The Virginia Court of Appeals ruled twice for Jenkins: Miller’s lawyers missed a deadline for appealing the first ruling, so they filed a second appeal on different grounds. The appellate court determined that the latter case failed to raise new issues, and the Virginia Supreme Court, the state’s highest court, agreed. 
 
In January, a Vermont judge denied Miller’s latest attempt in that state to deny visitation rights to Jenkins. Family Court Judge William Cohen also said Miller risked losing custody of her daughter if she continues to violate court orders. Cohen also rejected Jenkins’ effort to get primary custody of Isabella, but ordered that she get five-weeks’ custody in the summer. 
 
Miller gave birth to Isabella in April 2002, but later renounced homosexuality and moved back to the Winchester area with the child after the couple split. National gay-rights and conservative Christian groups continue to monitor the protracted legal battle.

Va. Proposal Puts Mental Health Safety Net for Children on Chopping Block

For years, when some of Virginia's most troubled children have been struck by serious psychiatric problems, their most likely destination has been the low-rise brick building on a sprawling campus in the Shenandoah Valley that is home to the Commonwealth Center for Children and Adolescents.
"We're the place where kids can come when they can't go anyplace else," said Jeffrey Aaron, forensic coordinator and clinical director of an adolescent unit at the Staunton center.
Now the 48-bed, state-run facility has been identified by Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) as a place the state can do without. To help close a $3 billion budget gap, he has ordered the elimination of the center and a 16-bed hospital unit in southwestern Virginia that provides similar care.

Goes to show that our so-called sorry ass elected officials don't give a damn about our children till its time to get thier fat asses elected again.

Man exposes himself to teen in Ches.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. - Police officers are on patrol in Chesapeake's Portlock neighborhood after a 17-year-old girl reported a half naked man approached her.

Officers went to the neighborhood off of Bainbridge and Portlock Roads Wednesday evening.

Diana Kennedy is the teen's mother. She told WAVY.com a man in a silver mustang followed her daughter after she got off the school bus.

Kennedy explained, "She said when he got up in front of her where she could see the front of the car, she looked over to see who it was or what he was doing. And when she looked over he had the window rolled down and he had himself exposed...She said that he was about six inches away from her body when she was walking, and she said, 'Mom when I looked over, he was there with no pants on. From his waste down he had nothing on.'"

Kennedy said her daughter kept going and her anxiety grew.

"She proceeded to walk faster and faster. And the faster she would go, the faster he would speed up to keep up with her," she said.

The teen ran to safety. Though police have canvassed the neighborhood, they've made no arrests. The teen's dad and another concerned parent are checking out the neighborhood,
too.

Carlton Gilchrist, a neighbor told WAVY.com they tried to track down a silver mustang in the neighborhood.

"[Her parents] went one way, I went the other to try to find out who the perpetrator was. I'm just concerned you know, 'cause it's too close to my house," Gilchrist said.

They were not able to find the car. Gilchrist said as the father of an 8-year-old daughter he's nervous.

"It happened right here at the bus stop. My daughter catches the bus here too, so I was concerned about that," he explained.

Until the person is identified, parents say they won't rest. It seems the Kennedy's daughter won't either.

"She cried most of the evening. She also made me take blankets and put them over the curtains in my house to assure that he wasn't stalking her, or following her to see in the house that she was in there," Kennedy said.

Diana Kennedy said she hopes parents throughout her neighborhood take extra steps to protect their kids.

She said it's sad that her 17-year-old daughter can't be comfortable walking from her bus stop to her front door.

Gilchrist's daughter pulled out her bicycle, like she does so many days after school, her dad said, "Oh no Sweetie. Today is not a bike riding day."

Please give me a break, this is full of shit.

First point, if she is in front of the car, she wou;dn't be able to see in below the dash broad, two, a 17 yo, please, I'm sure she has seen and touch and play with her boyfriends, stick many times. I could under stand if this was a younger child, but a damn 17 yo, please.

However I love the comments
Shw said this
This is a totally bogus story. I live right here on the corner and I was just in my back yard which runs parallel to the street right before that school bus dropped her daughter off. There was no silver mustang and there was no man. I personally know this woman who is mentally unstable and she has coerced her daughter into saying these things because she craves attention. She also used to claim that every man who came into contact with her sexually harrassed her. These are false statements. There was absolutely no man in a silver mustang!!!!!!!!!
 life coach had this to say
It is common knowledge that activity is a common practice mating ritual in Portlock and Deep Creek. Must be a new law against it or something?

VA court changes Mind on Spamming

The Virginia Supreme Court agreed to reconsider its original judgment on the state's anti-spam law, which made it illegal to send email using an anonymous email address or IP address. Their new decision: prohibiting anonymously sent emails is a violation of the First Amendment.
The court noted that "were the 'Federalist Papers' just being published today via e-mail, that transmission by Publius would violate the [current Virginia] statute."
The real problem with the statute is that it's overbroad, said the court, and it can't simply be reworded. We assume this means the state legislature will have to start over, and this time limit the statute to "commercial or fraudulent e-mail, or to unprotected speech such as pornography or defamation."

This is one of those feel-bad judgments—ultimately we agree with the court that the law needs to be more specific in order to limit its power, but in the meantime this means that spam king Jeremy Jaynes, who had been sentenced to 9 years in prison in 2004 under the newly enacted law, is now free to resume spamming until a new, better worded statute can be drafted.

New crap from Olds

Children First
Eileen Olds says destiny made her a trailblazer.
By Arthur Hill
Posted 08/11/08


“My calling is to make a difference,” says Eileen Olds (Psychology ’79). “I believe that I have been called to make a difference in the lives of the children and the families that I serve.”

I don’t know what she called making a difference in children lives, unless it means to block loving parents from their kids. In my a father who has never been with his child alone, never able to take his only son to movie, baseball game, or any other public event all, whom to this day doesn’t know where his son is or how his health is. Yet she call this making a difference good. This coming from a 50-something non parent, the only kids she is close to is those of other family members

Chance meetings and “failures” with silver linings—otherwise known as “destiny”—have led her to where she is, says Olds, a judge on the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in Chesapeake, Va., since 1995, the first woman and the first African American in the city’s history to sit on the bench. “When I look back on my life, I can see there were moments of revelation. I now understand that I have gone through a natural progression of events. You join a path that was chosen for you to take.”

Attending the University of Virginia was on that predestined path. A chance meeting with Lloyd Ricks, then dean of admissions, led to the Chesapeake native entering the fourth class that included women. And she says that if she had not run for state legislature—a race she lost by 87 votes—she might not have become a judge. “I was appointed at least in part by the efforts of my opponent after he took office,” she says.

Sometimes I wish she had won that election then at least she would have just mess up the children lives but everyone lives in Virginia. She was appointed by her opponent, mmm I wonder why?

It’s a destiny filled with trailblazing and perseverance. After being elected her middle school’s first African-American student-council president, the school abolished the council, presumably to prevent her from taking office.

Does she know this for a fact!

After graduating with honors from the University, she became one of four African Americans in her class at the College of William and Mary’s Marshall-Wythe School of Law, the first African American in private practice in Chesapeake and, at 26, one of the youngest presidents of her local NAACP chapter. Last year, the 3,000-member American Judges Association, an international organization headquartered in Williamsburg, Va., elected her its president—the first African-American and only the fourth woman president in its 50-year history.

Early in her career, juvenile justice became her passion. Olds realized that the “most devastating and gut-wrenching criminal cases” were those involving the abuse and neglect of children. “I know absolutely that dysfunction in families has an enormous impact on the futures of innocent children,” she says.

I wonder if her parents were place on trial today for the way they were raised I wonder only many actions would be considered as abuse and neglect. She as an impact on the children alright a negative one that is for sure.

Over the years, she has fulfilled her goal to protect and defend them. “I recognized my ability to advocate effectively,” she said. “My selection as a juvenile and domestic relations judge was a natural progression for me.”

Well then I guess the only advocating that she does is for single motherhood, and mothers rights, since she does give the same to father at all in her court, just maybe once in a while a father will win in her court case the issue are so great that she can’t see a way to justify her actions or decision if she finds for the mother.

At the American Judges Association, Olds has established an outreach program called Tell It to the Judge, a multiyear effort to seek input from the general public about the judicial process. The AJA is holding events around the country that allow citizens to talk to panels of judges about their experience with the judicial process and offer recommendations for change. “The most important thing that citizens are looking for is an opportunity to be heard—not necessarily a favorable outcome,” says Olds.

That is one program I would love to take part in.

Olds also believes the nation’s judges will gain from opinions and recommendations of citizens whose lives have been changed by decisions made in the nation’s courts. “We’re the gatekeepers of the system,” she says. “We have to better understand how others perceive us.”

What does the future hold for Olds? Except for her belief that her travels along a predetermined path of progress will continue, she has no idea. She wants to offer a message of “hope and possibility” to children, and she’ll go “where the Lord leads me” to deliver her message. “It’s worked well so far,” she says.

The future needs to lead her sorry ass back out of the Chesapeake JDR and back into private practice. Where she should have been all this time?
