Georgia Aquarium Battles Federal Government Over Belugas
An anonymous reader writes: The Georgia Aquarium has argued in court that the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's denial of its permit to import beluga whales from Russia was arbitrary and capricious. The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service says the aquarium failed to meet the requirements of a law meant to protect marine mammals. Both sides accuse the other of twisting the facts, a NOAA lawyer accuses the aquarium trying "to confuse the court," and a lawyer for the aquarium says the government had "cooked the books" on whale population numbers.
...programmer. The only legal issues I have to deal with are patents and copyright suits.
For now. The Republicans have said many times that they want to make being a programmer as expensive and difficult as being a lawyer. My wife and old roommate are lawyers, and the bar has made their lives a living hell. That is the future Republicans want for us. You should never vote for one of them.
Really ??? Was it Jeb that said that and does it extend to all the tech professions in the U.S. ? If so he's got my vote. That will take care of the whole H1-B problem in a shot and guarantee people in Tech fields much more opportunity.
