| pLawyers in the Proposition 8 trial are keeping an eye on Washington as they draft papers for the federal judge in San Francisco. /ppThe two sides in the legal battle over California's ban on same sex marriage have two more weeks to tell Judge Vaughn Walker exactly how they'd like him to rule and why.

pGov. Bob Riley's gambling task force won another victory Thursday when the Alabama Supreme Court tossed out a court order blocking a raid on the state's largest casino./ppIn a 7-2 decision, the court said a Macon County judge lacked jurisdiction to halt the pre-dawn raid Jan. 29./ppThis is another victory for the rule of law, Gov. Bob Riley said Thursday night./ppVictoryLand, 15 miles east of Montgomery, closed its casino Monday night. Shortly before the Supreme Court's ruling came out Thursday, the company closed all other facilities, including its dog track, restaurants and new luxury hotel. The closure was designed to keep the Governor's Task Force on Illegal Gambling from returning without getting a judge to approve a search warrant./ppTask force commander John Tyson said last week a search warrant was not needed for the thwarted raid because the casino was open and undercover officers were inside observing the gambling machines. He declined to reveal his next step Thursday night, but said he was reviewing the complete closure of VictoryLand.

| pQuestioning the Supreme Court and other government branches needs to stay within the range of fair criticism or run the risk in our society of undermining institutions that we need to preserve our liberties, Justice Clarence Thomas said Thursday. /ppThomas also told an audience at the University of Florida law school that some comments he hears about the court border on being irresponsible. /ppHe didn't speak specifically about the court's recent decision on campaign financing or mention President Barack Obama. But Thomas' comments come a week after Obama took the rare step of openly criticizing the decision during his State of the Union speech. /ppThomas supported the 5-4 ruling that allows companies and unions to spend freely on ads that promote or target candidates by name. /p |
