@yes__darling As a woman traveling in a developing country, you do not dress the same as you would in a developed nation. Cover up (a lot). Don’t smile at random men. If a man does try to ask / offer you something, firmly say no - not make eye contact.
Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law.
Please understand:
- I do not practice immigration law.
- I do not practice criminal law.
- Nothing about my civil practice has anything to do with this.
And yet because I cannot log into the State's official e-filing system without saluting The Resistance, I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases, etc.
If I click "Decline," it kicks me out of the system. I must click "Accept" to access the system and continue representing my civil clients -- again, in cases that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration law or policy.
I've read SB 25-276 (the law referred to below). It does not regulate me as a private attorney or any of the clients I represent in civil matters. This is outrageous draconian overreach.
I have ethical obligations to my clients to represent them competently. My existing cases have running deadlines that I must attend to. Judges issue orders in my cases that I must follow. If I don't click "Accept" in order to access the State's e-filing system, I will harm my clients, torpedo my practice, and probably commit malpractice. So, I have no choice.
I'm clicking "Accept" under protest.
@DerrickEvans4WV How many American parents are too busy “making it” with fancy houses, cars, and big businesses and shuffling off the raising and guiding of their own kids?
@Cactusflower62@Cernovich So true! We want to add a third child. We make too much for Medicare, but too little to comfortably afford market priced healthcare. Do we just pay the 16k for delivery plus all the prenatal care out of pocket? How are people supposed to have big families anymore?
@Ilhan Nobody will fall for a false comparison of MLK Jr’s true civil rights movement and immigrant fraudsters attempting to weasel out of consequences for laundering and stealing money. It is offensive to MLK Jr’s legacy to attempt draw this comparison.
@GovofCO Are all of the individuals in this census US Citizens?
What percentage of Colorado’s population are citizens, legal immigrants, and “undocumented immigrants?”
@Cernovich We got hit with it in Colorado. I was down & out for 4 days. Way, way worse than COVID. Kids got it next, both out for weeks with congestion/coughs.
Lower rates will help buyers (especially 1st time) feel more confident they are getting a deal, and sellers will be motivated to release their 2.5% interest rates to scoop up their dream property.
