Political Interview—Iowa GOP Candidate Quits Senate Race to Become Senator of...Scott Raynor
Randi Shannon, the Republican candidate for an Iowa Senate seat, has dropped out of the race to become a senator in an alternative constitutional government called the "Republic of the United States." She believes the current U.S. government is illegitimate since it incorporated as a company in the 1860s. The Republic claims the original U.S. government from before the 14th Amendment is still in effect. Shannon will now act as a senator and help enforce the laws of this alternative government, though most do not recognize its legitimacy. Her departure leaves the Republican party scrambling to replace her as their candidate for the important state Senate race.

TRAYVON MARTIN'S Death WON'T Go To Grand JuryVogelDenise
- A special prosecutor announced that a grand jury would not investigate the death of Trayvon Martin, leaving the decision of whether to charge George Zimmerman solely in her hands. This eliminates the possibility of a first-degree murder charge.
- The prosecutor can still decide to charge Zimmerman with a felony like manslaughter. Not using a grand jury gives her more control over charges without relying on unpredictable jurors.
- Martin's family attorney said they are not surprised and hope a decision is reached soon. Protests over the case are continuing across the country.

Here are a few key points about how Kafkaesque is demonstrated in The Metamorphosis:
- Gregor's transformation into a giant insect is bizarre, surreal and nightmarish - this creates a sense of disorientation and confusion which is characteristic of Kafkaesque works.
- Gregor's new form as a vermin isolates him from human society, communication and understanding. He is alienated and disconnected from the world, mirroring Kafka's own feelings of alienation.
- The lack of explanation for Gregor's transformation leaves the reader questioning what is real or imagined. Like in Kafka's dreams and stories, rational explanations are absent.
- Gregor's family treats him with shock, disgust and indifference after

Texas Government OnlineDeath Penalty Paper ProjectCindy Case.docxmehek4
Texas Government Online
Death Penalty Paper Project
Cindy Casey Brown
El Centro College
Summer 2018
Overview
In this presentation you will read about the death penalty in Texas, see pictures, explore websites and see videos.
You will also learn about the insanity defense in Texas.
You will also be presented with a statute (a law) regarding the duty to report child abuse.
The purpose of this exercise is to educate you on the laws in Texas that are significant - and - during you lifetime you may see the United States Supreme Court take up and comment on.
At the end of my presentation I will present you with a fictional case study and then you will write me a paper about your reflections on the work you did and what you saw in this presentation, whether you think the defendant should be charged with the death penalty, whether an insanity defense would be successful, and whether another individual in the case study had a duty to report child abuse and should be charged with a crime. The case study is based on a compilation of a few true Texas cases.
If you want to read the case study first then you can go to the case study slides and start there to get an idea of what you will be writing about. More specific details on the paper are at the end of the power point.
Why are we doing this?
I want you to leave this class being well-versed in the death penalty and the insanity defense.
Texas executes more people than any other state in the country (Texas is a big state) – this is a Texas Government class so you should know about this topic because it is a big topic in this state. During your lifetime the United States Supreme Court will take cases on this topic and make comments on it – you should be familiar with the topic.
The insanity defense – this is a big topic in the news today so I want you to work with it. With the unfortunate mass public shootings going on - if the shooter survives – the shooter is likely to plead the insanity defense – so I want you to understand it.
I think you learn so much more about these topics by doing this exercise and critically thinking through this case study than by reading about it and taking a test on it.
I know this topic can be disturbing and hard to think about – but in a college course like this it is important to address.
And remember – I am NOT trying to make you think one way or the other or push any opinion on you – I am trying to present many sides to a hard topic that will make you think – whatever your opinion is it does not impact your grade – your grade on this project is based on your hard work and critical thinking and analysis and your ability to form opinions and back them up.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

About you:
1) Where were you born and where have you lived? When did you make Durham your
home?
I was born in Detroit, Michigan on November 6, 1954. Having moved
to Durham in 1981, I have now lived here for more than ½ my life.
2) Are you conservative or liberal? Please choose one and then explain your answer. It’s
difficult to characterize my personal political beliefs because I’m kind of issue specific: on many fiscal
2. issues, I’d characterize my personal views as conservative and on social and criminal justice issues, I’d
say I’m liberal. I would characterize my personal political beliefs as progressive.
3) Please describe how your religious and philosophical beliefs may affect your conduct and
decision making if you are elected. I work very hard to leave my personal religious and
philosophical beliefs at the courthouse door. It is undeniable that my compassion for people and
children, my ethic of hard work, belief in fairness and justice spring, at least in part, from my social
justice and religious values.
4) Please list the organizations (educational, social, charitable, cultural, political, religious, etc.)
you have joined or supported. If you have held an office in any of these organizations,
please describe.

you performed. Who were your employers? Not applicable
6) Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense other than a minor traffic offense (such
as speeding)? If the answer is yes, please describe the circumstances and the outcome.
No.
7) Have you personally ever been the plaintiff or defendant in a lawsuit? If the answer is yes,
please explain the circumstances and the outcome of the case.
Yes. I was named in a lawsuit filed against our sheriff, several bondsmen and others: Carver v.
Gordon 2013 CA 005392. Plaintiff is a sovereign citizen. The case was dismissed.
About your practice of law:
3. 8) Please describe your practice as a lawyer. Be specific. Describe the areas of your practice
and your specialties. If, over time, these have changed, describe the changes. Describe your
client base as a part of your answer.
I was in private practice for just over 26 years before I became a District Court Judge. After
graduating law school in 1979, I worked as a tax lawyer at a Big Eight accounting firm. I left that
job to run the John Anderson for President Office in Detroit, MI. After relocating to Durham, I
worked for brief periods of time at NC Prisoner Legal Services (project related to the use of
psychotropic drugs on incarcerated juveniles) and Powe, Porter & Alphin (ERISA law). In 1982,
I hung out my shingle and engaged in a general practice where I took on court-appointed criminal
work, represented parents in Abuse. Neglect & Dependency Court, prepared Wills & Trusts for
small estates and started a family law practice. I found that I had a talent for family law. After
1991, when I became the first Board Certified Family Law Specialist in Durham, I limited my
practice to family law and domestic relations. I was elected to the Durham District Court in 2006.
9) If you are a judge in the trial division, please describe two trials over which you have
presided which best illustrate your abilities and temperament as a trial judge. Explain why
you selected the cases you describe.
I was the first judge to preside over the child custody dispute between Derek Walker and the mother
of his son, Ethan. Derek was the young man who was shot and killed on the CCB Plaza this past
year. When the litigation started, Ethan was an infant. Derek was self-represented; he came into
court in a suit or in his work uniform; he was unfailingly polite and respectful to the Court and to
Ethan’s mother. It was fairly clear from early in the case that the mother didn’t want Derek in
Ethan’s life and that Derek was equally determined to be a father (in the best meanings of that word)
to Ethan. We started with visits that were in blocks of 2-3 hours several days a week. That shortly
progressed to overnight visitation and finally to shared legal custody and equally shared parenting
time. Derek was a devoted Dad. I was struck by the repeated efforts made by Ethan’s mother and
maternal grandfather to put obstacles in the path of Derek’s parenting of Ethan.
When I began practicing family law in 1982, fathers really didn’t want custody. Over the past 30
years, the family and the roles of parents has changed. Fathers didn’t tend to want custody whereas
now they want to parent and, in some cases, make the choice to be a stay at home parent. Mothers
and fathers – even different people in parenting roles--bring different things to their children- one
example I’ve observed is that a father will toss a baby in the air making him scream with delight;
most mothers wouldn’t dream of doing that and instead shelter their babies from risks. There’s a role
for all of those things in a child’s life and development. And they are equally important. I was
beyond sad to learn about Derek’s situation the day he died, particularly since he said that he was
motivated by the efforts of Ethan’s mother to keep him from his son. I wasn’t in domestic relations
court at that time. The echoes of his distress, the recollection of Derek’s devotion to Ethan and
Derek’s ability to balance making a life for himself and his son will always be with me. I keep his
thank you note, with a picture of him and Ethan, in my office. Derek made it so easy to respect him
as a person and young man—it brought out the best in my judicial temperament.
4. Another case which challenged me, was Snyder v. Giordano, also a child custody case. Mr. Snyder
sued his wife for custody of their children. It was a complicated and lengthy trial with two excellent
trial lawyers. My decision is commemorated in a 27 page opinion. I was surprised when the decision
in this case went viral. I learned that Ms. Giordano had undertaken a public relations effort to
lionize her case when I saw an article in a UK publication. Giordano’s viewpoint of the case was
covered world wide in publications from the Durham Herald to Time Magazine to MS Magazine.
Giordano was interviewed on the Today Show, Dr. Drew and Anderson Cooper. Her take was that
my decision was based on the fact that she had breast cancer. She rallied support with a FaceBook
page and online petitions which exist to this day. I remember the day my mother called to say that
her bridge ladies were talking about the case.
Because of the Judicial Canons I couldn’t comment on the case even though I felt strongly that my
ruling and the facts of the case were being misrepresented. I received many, many very ugly emails,
was the subject of petitions and blogs calling for my removal and still had to maintain the dignity of
the court when I entertained motions concerning the appeal. I was lucky when the Judicial Response
Committee, through former Chief Justice Burley Mitchell, communicated with the Anderson Cooper
show defending my decision and characterizing my opinion as one of the best he’d ever read. I found
dealing with the public scrutiny, which I thought was unfair, challenging. It was very, very difficult
not to comment or get angry in public about the case because the litigation was ongoing and because
the children deserve privacy.
Since the decision in June 2011, Ms. Giordano has, unfortunately, died. Nevertheless, the online
presence and other publicity dominates my history if you Google me. I am gratified to hear that the
children are doing well with their dad in Chicago. I am also gratified that Snyder’s lawyer (Laurel
Solomon) and Giordano’s lawyer (Bill Cotter) are both supporting my reelection efforts.
I can think of many more family law cases which I think demonstrate both my ability and my
temperament in court. For the entire time that I’ve served in District Court, I’ve been in one or the
other Family Court courtroom. Most of our judges find these cases too complex, or too messy or too
difficult or too “something” to handle and they avoid serving in these courts. For the first 18 months
on the bench, I found being in domestic relations court both gratifying and painful. Gratifying because
I had the opportunity to use my experience and knowledge of the law and families in a way that, I
believe, benefitted families and children. Painful because it was hard for me to find my footing in a
courtroom where I had been an advocate and, with many of the attorneys who appeared before me, an
adversary. I used that time to work on patience (not always my strong point), letting go the advocacy
role I had played for 26 years and being respectful of the parties in the courtroom. As a result of my
efforts in Durham’s family courts, families and children have the opportunity to have cases heard by a
judge who wants to be in that courtroom, their cases are decided efficiently and promptly, they are
heard by a judge who is willing to stay current on the complex law in the area and a judge who works
hard every day to make sure that all of the sides of those highly contested cases is heard.
5. 10) If you are not a trial judge, please describe two of your cases that best illustrate the abilities
and temperament you would display as the holder of the office you seek. Not applicable
11) If you are a sitting judge seeking reelection, are you satisfied with your North Carolina Bar
Association Judicial Performance Evaluation scores? Do you think the evaluation process is
valid and the results a fair indication of your performance? Using the survey categories in
the evaluation, please indicate what steps, if any, you plan to take to improve your scores.
If you are not a sitting judge, please evaluate yourself as the judge you think you will be if
you are elected. Please use the five survey categories and in your answer take into account
how you think other attorneys would evaluate you.
No, I was not satisfied by the rating-- in fact, I was shocked. My evaluation occurred at a time when
one lawyer, who had represented another lawyer I held in contempt of court for being two and a half
hours late to court, was actively seeking support to oppose my reelection. I hold lawyers to task if they
are chronically late (and I don’t mean 15 minutes) to court, if they are unprepared and if they shirk
their professional obligations. I am struck by the fact that my scores are “outliers” in the entire
state—no other judge received scores below 3.0. In 2010 I ran unopposed; my Martindale Hubbell
rating is AV. Four years later, my JPE score was the lowest in the state, even lower that a judge
who was censored and suspended for fixing traffic tickets.
Addressing each scale: I am unaware of any complaints to Judicial Standards or my Chief District
Court Judge concerning my honesty or my inability to hear cases impartially. In fact, I believe that
personal and professional integrity means that one is honest, has strong values, work ethics and
principles and I have that in spades. Since I spend a lot of time studying law, teaching law and
attending seminars about law, it eludes me why some lawyers question my legal ability; in fact, if I
don’t know the law, I learn the law. For example, I had to learn about Summary Ejectment law
and I read the materials I had and called experts at the UNC Institute of Government when I had
questions; that was also true with the law of contempt. I make it a practice to read court files before a
hearing, to read any legal memoranda that are submitted, and sometimes to solicit them, and, if I am
unfamiliar with the particular area of law, to review case law that I anticipate will relate to a case
that’s coming up. My legal ability is strong and if there are any questions or concerns by lawyers who
have appeared in my courtrooms they have been free to bring cases or statutes that they believe control
that particular law to my attention. It seems to me that there’s an impression in some circles that I
consider myself an expert in family law; on the contrary, while I have a significant background in the
area and stay current on reading cases, there are many lawyers who know more than I and the
designation “expert” has always made me uncomfortable. If the definition of professionalism
encompasses “patience,” I confess that’s my shortcoming. I try every day to be more patient and I’ve
learned, over the past seven years, that expecting the best of lawyers and being impatient when it’s not
what happens are not the same thing. My score on communication and administrative ability also
puzzles me. The latter I suspect is directly related to a hearing where I held a lawyer in contempt of
6. court. I have, however, never been late to court, am prepared, work hard to write and render opinions
promptly and rarely fail to resolve all of the resolvable cases on my calendar. Since I’ve presided in our
Family Court courtrooms, we have meaningful pretrial hearings at which time the parties assess how
many witnesses they will call, what issues are contested, how much court time they will need, etc. Since
I’ve been in Abuse, Neglect and Dependency court we’ve had a court-controlled calendar, not a
lawyer-driven calendar and we now meet best practice timelines over 75% of the time when we were at
35% previously. I understand and appreciate that a court- controlled calendar is not necessarily a
popular thing with some lawyers, however, in my estimation it best serves the public, families and
children.
I have given the evaluation a lot of thought and, to the extent that I think it reflects a fair judgment of
deficits in my courtroom persona, I take it to heart. I have heard the evaluation characterized as a
personality contest and there is some aspect of this evaluation that, in my opinion, falls into that
category. The sample is lawyers who take the time to fill out the evaluation—50% of the lawyers
appearing in my courtroom leave dissatisfied with the outcome.
Bottom line, I work hard every day to serve the public, the families and the children who come into my
courtroom to have their legal disputes resolved. I have high expectations of the lawyers who appear in
my courtroom. I work hard to be patient with lawyers who are ill-prepared or who demonstrate a
lack of professionalism, and I do find that challenging—some days more than others. All the same, I
am a fair, efficient, committed and intelligent judge with a track record of sound decisions and myriad
efforts to improve and elevate the profession of law.
12) Have you ever been publicly or privately disciplined by the North Carolina State Bar or any
other professional or occupational licensing authority in North Carolina or any other state?
“Disciplined” should be read to include reprimands, censures, and warnings in addition to
license suspension, surrender, revocation, and disbarment. Is the State Bar or any
governmental authority considering a complaint against you at the present time? Have you
ever been found in contempt of court? For each “yes” answer, please provide us with a full
description of the action taken, when it was taken, the authority in question, and a statement
of the facts and events giving rise to the action or complaint against you.
No.
13) Please describe the nature and extent of any pro bono work you have done. Is there a pro
bono matter to which you have contributed that best illustrates your values?
Not applicable
Concerning law and policy:
14) What are your views on the death penalty and the way death penalty cases are handled in
North Carolina? As a matter of the administration of justice, what should the courts and
legislature do about the death penalty? My personal views on the death penalty aren’t at
issue for several reasons: 1) it’s not an issue that confronts a district court judge and 2) I would
7. enforce the law if I presided over a death case. I have, as a District Court Judge, enforced laws I
don’t agree with because my job isn’t making the law, it’s applying it.
In private practice I didn’t handle capital cases because the stakes were way too high. The justice
system is not perfect and the life or death of a person shouldn’t be decided in a system where innocent
people are convicted in error.
15) Do you perceive any racial discrimination in the criminal justice system? If your answer is
yes, what should be done to combat it?
There is racial discrimination in society and that applies to the criminal justice system, too. I’d like
to see a mandatory training in cultural bias at one of the two annual judge meetings on an annual
basis. I think there’s much to learn about racial and cultural bias.
16) What are your views on the rights (including whether any such rights exist) of homosexual
persons to marry? Did you vote for or against Amendment One?
My personal views, again, are personal and not part of my judging in a courtroom. My personal
views are inclusive, not exclusive. I think that family is fundamental to everything- our work ethic,
our sense of justice, an individual’s self esteem and well being, one’s success and failure…I voted
against Amendment One. Family is where you find it and marriage is a civil contract defining
certain rights and obligations between the parties to the marriage and the State. I support the right of
gay people to marry and the right of people whose religious views do not support same sex marriage to
deny those same people the privilege of marrying in their church or religious institution.
17) Do we incarcerate too many people in North Carolina? Do we incarcerate the right people?
Please explain your answer. What sentencing policy changes would you support in your role
as a trial court judge? Would you advocate for these policy changes publicly and to the
North Carolina Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission and in the North Carolina
judges conferences?
I support alternatives to incarceration. We are incarcerating the mentally ill and the drug addicted
because we don’t know what to do with them. Incarceration does not result in a healthier post-
incarceration individual and it’s not a smart use of tax-payer money. The State of North Carolina
should fully fund therapeutic courts including Adult and Family Drug Treatment Courts. These are
intensively supervised criminal courts which, instead of incarcerating people, change behaviors through
accountability, sanctions and incentives. We need to fund a Veterans Court to accomplish the same
kind of result for people who have sacrificed and served our country. In Durham we have a
Community Life court to try to connect the homeless who are charged with soliciting alms and similar
misdemeanors to services that could change their behaviors and their lives. And we are about to
undertake a diversion court for 16 and 17 year olds so that they can, with work, avoid being charged
with crimes and being convicted of them. All of these innovations are important and I’m gratified to
be a part of them.
8. 18) If elected, will you support the following programs: the Drug Treatment Court, the Criminal
Justice Resource Center, STAR, the Mental Health Treatment Court, the Veterans’ Court,
the misdemeanor diversion program for 16- and 17- year-olds, and the newly established
pretrial services program? If you have reservations about any of these programs please
explain them.
Yes, I will support those courts and will work to find other alternatives to incarceration for people who
can be diverted and/or served outside the criminal justice system. At present, I am leading the effort to
get a Veterans Court in Durham and on March 31 will be visiting with a Mentor Veterans Court
in Rochester, NY (paid for courtesy of the National Association of Drug Court Professionals).
Your politics:
19) How are you registered to vote? Have you ever changed your registration? If you have
changed your voter registration, please explain why.
I am a registered Democrat.
20) Who did you vote for in the 2008 and 2012 presidential and gubernatorial elections?
I can understand why you would ask this question, but I decline, respectfully, to answer. I believe
that my election decisions are private.
21) Have you ever been active in the campaign of a candidate for elective office (by active we
mean acted as campaign manager, treasurer, or paid staff, or contributed more than $2,000)?
If the answer is yes, please list the candidates and the offices they sought.
Yes, I ran the John Anderson for President office in Detroit in 1980.
22) If you are elected, do you envision any community involvement beyond the specific duties
of the office? If yes, please describe that involvement.
Yes. A judge is a community leader and a public servant. I will continue to be involved in our
community as I have in the past.
Thank you for your prompt and thoughtful response to our questionnaire.
