When Gov. Rick Scott's (R-FL) administration distributed its controversial lists of possible non-citizen voters last month, state statute required the state's 67 county supervisors of elections to send out letters requiring those voters to prove their eligibility to vote within 30 days - a window that will end in the next couple of weeks in many counties. But a ThinkProgress survey of several county supervisors in Florida reveals that the lists of presumed non-eligible voters is riddled with errors. In large and small jurisdictions across the state, supervisors have found that a large number of the voters on the list are indeed eligible voters.

Volusia County Supervisor of Elections Ann McFall told ThinkProgress that she and the state's 66 other county elections supervisors sent a "clear message" to the Scott administration at a Tampa conference two weeks ago. "One after another, [they] got up and talked about inaccuracies [in the state's voter purge list of alleged non-citizen voters]."

In Miami-Dade, the count of voters whose citizenship status has been challenged by the Scott administration numbered in the hundreds. With time left to respond,

Sunday June 3rd, 2012, Youngstown- Last week Cornelius Harris, a level 5 prisoner at Ohio State Penitentiary (OSP) resumed the May Day hunger strike, in protest of the warden's slow response to the prisoner's demands. It is unknown when Mr. Harris began refusing food, how many consecutive meals he has refused, and whether or not other prisoners have joined Mr. Harris's hunger strike. OSP's warden, David Bobby refused to comment or make any statement about Mr. Harris's situation or condition, including how many meals he has refused.

Mr. Harris says that Warden Bobby has "found a way to twist this hunger strike around to his favor by asking for more funding for programs and material that a level 5 prisoner will never see". Mr. Harris issued the following list of grievances.

- Warden Bobby has failed to keep his promise to address outrageously high commissary prices.
- Lack of recreational material like exercise or sporting equipment, even though there is money in an "I+E" fund earmarked for these materials.
- Low quality and lack of variety in television and movie programming.

This letter is in response to the articles covering the JP Morgan Chase investment debacle.
Well Mr. Dimon, it looks like you and your company have landed in the rough. This is because of the same type of stupidity and hubris that helped to cause the Great Recession is now déjà vu all over again. Now what? Layoffs? Did someone say layoffs? Sir, I've worked in the finance industry for the better part of 16 years and have never witnessed such a reckless disregard for the investor's money as this.

In my opinion this boarders on criminal and should be {as it is} investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Securities and Exchange Commission. As I often do I took the courtesy of CC-ing you on this letter out of fairness and the opportunity for rebuttal. I do not fear reprisal nor expect a response. This letter is being written on behalf of the numerous friends I have that work for your company in Cleveland, Ohio. The moment this fiasco became public was the same moment that struck panic into the minds of your employees. Only four years ago and here we go again down the slippery slope

The strict rule of law is an ideal and a fantasy. Conflicting and archaic words must be interpreted, and doing so is an art, not a science.

But there is an enormous chasm between honest attempts to approach the ideal of compliance with written law, and open disregard for it.

It is becoming standard practice for our government to enforce laws selectively or not at all, to openly defy laws, to enact laws in violation of the higher law called the Constitution or in violation of the treaties which that Constitution defines as the Supreme Law of the Land.

At the same time, charades of legality degrade it as an ideal: the International Criminal Court is not international, military justice makes a mockery of justice, etc. And anti-legal measures, like secret sections of the PATRIOT act that can be enforced against us but which we cannot be permitted to read in order to comply with, muddle for many people the very idea of lawfulness.
