According to the USA Today earlier this week, a psychiatric social worker named Amanda Blackhorse is suing the National Football League. She claims that the name of the Washington Redskins “is a slur that should not have federal trademark protection.”

Not to debate the merits of the possibility that this could be a frivolous lawsuit, there is one more fundamental problem. The INTELLECTUAL CONTENT of anything which is trademarked, patented, etc. in America has nothing to do with the fact of whether or not it can be legally protected.

While Ms. Blackhorse may quite genuinely feel ethically driven to enact such a culturally based public relations campaign, within the scope of her primary jurisdictional focus, she may not have as much of a legal leg to stand on.

It’s now been found out that ICE (the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency) has released over 2,000 illegal aliens back into the United States. Reportedly driven by budget concerns, the news media has found out that many of these people had multiple convictions for crimes, such as robbery, drugs and prostitution! Thanks for telling us.

However, one federal employee IS doing his job. U.S. Federal Judge David Campbell upheld Arizona Governor Jan Brewer disallowing illegal aliens from getting driver’s licenses in her state. However, Judge Campbell is still allowing future possible revisiting of this idea when it’s a young illegal alien who happens to be part of that President Obama’s controversial ‘deferred-action’ (amnesty) policy.

Eric Holder has recently been criticized for little he knows. His critics claim he should have known about government manipulation attempts directed at the Associated Press newsgathering company.

Some of Holder's cronies also seem proud of how little he apparently knows about the Internal Revenue Service allegedly giving conservative causes a bit more of a hard time at getting ‘not-for-profit’ and similar designations than other more liberal causes. But, as the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder and his crew will probably have to preside over the legalistic cleanup. Sorry, guys!

Just like the Department of State has been made for force their oversight (or lack thereof) of the Benghazi situation, ignorance of illegality does not reconcile the enforcement of its penalization.

Thomas F. “Mack” McLarty III, former White House Chief of Staff for the Clinton administration.

Prior to his tenure in the White House, Mr. McLarty served as Chairman of Arkla, a Fortune 500 natural gas company. During his tenure Arkla grew into the nation’s largest natural gas distributor, with customers in 11 states and significant exploration and pipeline operations. The company was recognized by Forbes and Wall Street Transcript for management excellence, and by other national organizations for environmental initiatives and minority enterprise development. Mr. McLarty began his business career as a third generation participant in McLarty Companies, where he helped build the business his grandfather founded into one of the nation’s largest transportation companies.

Mr. McLarty serves on the boards of a number of corporate and non-profit institutions including Union Pacific, the Acxiom Corporation, the Bush Clinton Katrina Fund, the Council of the Americas, the Inter-American Dialogue, Ford’s Theatre, and the Center for the Study of the Presidency. In addition, he is senior counselor to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Senior International Fellow at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

John Brummett: Mack McLarty and amnesty

In case you wondered what became of Thomas F. “Mack” McLarty, the former Arkla chairman and the first White House chief of staff and later Latin American liaison for his boyhood friend, Bill Clinton, I need only refer you to international political news.
The article revealed that the man who now is Mexico’s foreign minister, Andres Rozental, buttonholed McLarty at a black-tie affair at Tavern on the Green in New York City in the winter of 2000. The Mexican diplomat persuaded McLarty, now an international consultant in partnership with Henry Kissinger, to become the American chairman of a bilateral commission of political, educational and business leaders to study American-Mexican migration under the aegis of the Carnegie Foundation.

The commission’s report, delivered in February by McLarty to Bush’s chief of staff, Andrew Card, recommended a policy commonly referred to, and probably over-stated, as amnesty — meaning a process for legalizing at least some of the millions of undocumented Mexican immigrants gainfully employed in the United States and free of criminal complications except for the basic illegality of their presence. The report became a factor in Bush’s decision to float the idea of amnesty. >>>MORE<<<
