Usher VAWA principles, as reflected in New Jersey law, have been found unconstitutional by a trial court.

Usher This article exposes corruption driving oil price gouging -- driven by huge institutional speculators, an oil industry that maximizes profits by holding back production and refining capacity, while state and local governments are wont to intervene because of tremendous tax windfalls flowing into coffers. A market is not free when distorted by massive speculative investment. https://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_david_r__070518_divorce_down_2c_marria.htm Sat, 19 May 2007 08:07:01 -0400 https://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_david_r__070518_divorce_down_2c_marria.htm David R. Usher Republican Welfare Reforms are a failure. Marriage is decreasing, while illegitimacy is exploding. More women live in poverty and at risk for their personal safety than ever before, and more men are incarcerated than in any other free world country.

Both parties are avoiding the "other war", which must end. https://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_david_r__070507_duke_rape_case_3a_the_.htm Mon, 07 May 2007 08:00:02 -0400 https://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_david_r__070507_duke_rape_case_3a_the_.htm David R. Usher The Duke Rape Case demonstrates the danger of sexism in America. Radical feminism on our campuses has overshot all reasonable goals of equality, and established an atmosphere very unfriendly to men. The mindset flows into out legal systems -- driving a system in which 40% to 50% of rape charges are false, and many innocent men spend their lives in prison. Progress for men's human rights is long overdue in America.
