    I too think that having a gun on school grounds is a serious crime. In the case of United Sates v. Lopez it should have only been up to the state to punish him, but that wasn't the case. Lopez's crime should not have been punishable under the Commerce Crime and that was exactly what the ruling upheld. The Commerce Crime had nothing to do with the Gun Free School Zone Act and therefore it was unconstitutional. Great discussion.…

    Federal Court Judge squashes class action lawsuit against Department of State and Homeland Security On Monday , May 16, 20106, U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez ruled that the State Department’s Visa Bulletin-which explains how immigrant visas subject to the numerical limitations are allocated and predicts as to when the immigrants can apply for visas; is not a final action or decision and therefore cannot be challenged in court. The Court laid down that the action did not constitute a final action under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and that the visa bulletin inherently lays down in an informative manner that USCIS ‘may’ utilize the available dates in the charts and that the dates might be ‘retrogressed’ or categories of applications be made ‘unavailable’ without notice. The Court said that APA prudently states what kinds of agency actions are subject to judicial review and the agency actions are required to be ‘final actions’ and not ones that are discretionary in nature.…

    Evidence of the effect the castas system had on marriage is seen within “Don Manuel Valdivieso Protests the Marriage of his Daughter.” Don Manuel Valdivieso submitted this court-documented lawsuit in efforts to stop his daughters’ marriage. The lawsuit was filed against Don Juan Teodoro Jaramillo, someone seen as to be from a lower class, and therefore unable to marry Don Manuel Valdivieso’s daughter. The main argument against this marriage was in regards to the fact that Jaramillo’s social standing being lower of Valdivieso’s family, “ Jaramillo is plebeian… and cannot and shall not enter into marriage with doña Baltasara.” Marriage was less about love, and more about someone’s class.…
