A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relative to a balanced budget.

United States · United States Congress · 21 July 2010

Constitutional Amendment - Requires Congress to adopt for each fiscal year a budget that sets forth the total receipts and outlays of the United States.

Bars receipts in any year from being retained for use of the Treasury in an amount which exceeds as a proportion of the national income, that retained for the prior year, unless a bill directed solely at approving a specific increase in such proportion has been passed by a majority of each chamber and has become law. Authorizes waivers of these provisions when a declaration of war is in effect. Requires a two-thirds rollcall vote of each chamber to adopt an increase in federal taxes. States that if in any fiscal year the percentage of growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is negative, discretionary spending, excluding spending for defense and homeland security, in the next fiscal year shall not exceed the level of such spending for the preceding fiscal year reduced by that GDP percentage of negative growth.

Property Owners Access to Court Act of 2010

United States · United States Congress · 29 June 2010

Property Owners Access to Court Act of 2010 - Amends the federal judicial code to provide that, whenever a district court exercises jurisdiction in civil rights cases in which the operative facts concern the uses of real property, it shall not abstain from exercising such jurisdiction, or relinquish it to a state court, if the party seeking redress does not allege a violation of a state law, right, or privilege, and no parallel proceeding is pending in state court, at the time the action is filed in the district court, that arises out of the same operative facts as the district court proceeding. Declares that in an action in which operative facts concern the uses of real property, the district court shall exercise jurisdiction even if the party seeking redress does not pursue judicial remedies provided by a state or territory. Provides for referral of an unsettled question of state law to the state's highest appellate court. Prohibits the district court from certifying a question of state law unless it is necessary to resolve the merits of the injured party's federal claim, and such question is patently unclear. Declares that any claim or action to redress the deprivation of a property right or privilege secured by the Constitution shall be ripe for adjudication by the district courts upon a final decision rendered by any person acting under color of any law, regulation, custom, or usage of any state or U.S. territory that causes actual and concrete injury to the party seeking redress. Declares that any claim founded upon a property right or privilege secured by the Constitution, but allegedly infringed or taken by the United States, shall be ripe for adjudication upon a final decision rendered by the United States which causes actual and concrete injury to the party seeking redress. Amends the Revised Statutes of the United States and the federal judicial code with respect to certain constitutional property rights claims. Provides for the liability of the United States for certain claims, brought under U.S. district court jurisdiction or Court of Federal Claims jurisdiction, where the claim is founded upon a property right or privilege secured by the Constitution. Requires a federal agency, whenever it takes action limiting the use of private property that may be affected by the amendments made by this Act, to give notice to the owners of that property explaining their rights and the procedures for obtaining any compensation that may be due to them under such amendments.

SPEECH Act

United States · United States Congress · 22 June 2010

Securing the Protection of our Enduring and Established Constitutional Heritage Act or SPEECH Act - Prohibits a domestic court from recognizing or enforcing a foreign judgment for defamation unless the domestic court determines that: (1) the defamation law applied in the foreign court's adjudication provided at least as much protection for freedom of speech and press in that case as would be provided by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and by the constitution and law of the state in which the domestic court is located; or (2) even if the defamation law applied in the foreign court's adjudication did not provide this much protection for freedom of speech and press, the party opposing recognition or enforcement of that foreign judgment would have been found liable for defamation by a domestic court applying the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the constitution and law of the state in which the domestic court is located. Prohibits a domestic court from recognizing or enforcing a foreign judgment for defamation against the provider of an interactive computer service unless the domestic court determines that the judgment would be consistent with provisions of the Communications Act of 1934 affording protection for private blocking and screening of offensive material, if the information that is the subject of the judgment had been provided in the United States. Specifies circumstances for removal by a defendant to the appropriate U.S. district court, without regard to the amount in controversy, of any action brought in a state domestic court to enforce a foreign judgment for defamation. Provides that any U.S. person, against whom a foreign judgment is entered on the basis of the content of any writing, utterance, or other speech by that person that has been published, may bring an action in district court for a declaration that the foreign judgment is repugnant to the Constitution or laws of the United States. Expresses the sense of Congress that, for purposes of pleading a cause of action for a declaratory judgment, a foreign judgment for defamation or any similar offense shall constitute a case of actual controversy under the federal judicial code.

Il faut sauver la parité

France · Senate · 10 June 2010

L'examen par le Parlement du projet de réforme des collectivités territoriales et du mode de scrutin qu'il envisage pour l'élection des futurs conseillers territoriaux interviendra dix ans après l'adoption de la loi du 6 juin 2000 qui a institué, pour la première fois, des leviers juridiques et financiers pour favoriser l'égal accès des femmes et des hommes aux mandats électoraux et aux fonctions électives. Or, les deux modes de scrutin successivement envisagés par le Gouvernement ne sont pas favorables à l'accès des femmes aux mandats de conseiller territorial : le scrutin mixte initialement proposé ne devait donner, dans les meilleures hypothèses, que 17,3 % de femmes d'après les évaluations de l'Observatoire de la parité et le scrutin majoritaire à deux tours, adopté par l'Assemblée nationale, devrait être encore plus négatif : ce mode de scrutin actuellement utilisé pour l'élection des conseillers généraux en a fait les assemblées les plus masculinisées de France avec 12,3 % de femmes seulement alors que, grâce au scrutin de liste, la parité est devenue une réalité effective dans les conseils régionaux constitués de 48 % de femmes. Le scrutin majoritaire à deux tours est-il définitivement inconciliable avec l'objectif constitutionnel d'égal accès aux mandats électoraux ? La délégation aux droits des femmes refuse de s'y résigner et formule une proposition innovante : le scrutin « binominal ». Tout en s'effectuant au scrutin majoritaire à deux tours dans le cadre du canton, l'élection porterait non sur un candidat unique doublé d'un suppléant, mais sur un binôme paritaire constitué de deux candidats de sexe différent, flanqué d'un binôme de suppléants, également mixte. Si l'on veut maintenir inchangé l'effectif prévu des conseillers territoriaux, cette mesure supposera simplement de réduire de moitié le nombre de cantons par rapport au redécoupage envisagé. Elle permettrait l'instauration d'une stricte parité dans les conseils généraux comme dans les conseils régionaux.
