2015 PLC featured Speaker, Sharyl Attkisson

Former CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has sued the Justice Department over the hacking of her computers, officially accusing the Obama administration of illegal surveillance while she was reporting on administration scandals.

In a series of legal filings that seek $35 million in damages, Attkisson alleges that three separate computer forensic exams showed that hackers used sophisticated methods to surreptitiously monitor her work between 2011 and 2013.

“I just think it’s important to send a message that people shouldn’t be victimized and throw up their hands and think there’s nothing they can do and they’re powerless,” Attkisson said (continue reading)

3 openings on top Pa. court draw lots of interest

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Every year is an election year in Pennsylvania, but 2015 has a quality that’s likely to shake up the usually mundane judicial races: three open seats on the seven-justice state Supreme Court.

A throng of more than a dozen hopefuls, including judges from lower courts and lawyers from outside the judiciary, are lining up – first for the party endorsements in January and February, then in the May 19 primary for the nominations that will be awarded to the top three vote-getters in each party.

The November election will decide which of the six candidates win the three seats – and the 10-year terms that go with them.

The outcome could easily flip the Republican Party’s slim 4-3 majority, and the simultaneous influx of so many new members is bound to change the face of the court in unpredictable ways.

This election will result in “a sea change on the court,” said (continue reading)

The Real Estate Push – Nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed from the housetops. ~ Luke 12:2-3

“Probably the most useful advice I can provide for the Christian who is planning to enter into any sort of real estate transaction is to consider carefully where the loyalties of the professionals they will rely upon for assistance are really directed. In other words, are the real estate agent, the loan officer the title insurance agent, the appraiser, the home inspector, the lawyer loyal to you or merely loyal to the transaction itself?” To read more, see The Believer’s Guide to Legal Issues

“There are few subjects Jesus addresses so directly and bluntly as the matter of paying taxes. And the perspective of Jesus, the genuine “Christian perspective” if ever there was one, is simple: Pay the taxes you owe. And it’s repeated in three of the four gospels. There is no question that the law and Christian teaching, the teaching of Jesus himself, are perfectly aligned on this issue.”

“Yet many Christians inexplicably seem to struggle with honesty and full compliance when it comes to paying taxes. And some Christians continue to dance around the issue of taxes almost as if they believe there is an entirely separate standard of morality that applies, as if the distinction between lies and truth mysteriously evaporates in the realm of taxation.” To read more, see The Believer’s Guide to Legal Issues
