1-5. THE DOCTRINE OF PRECEDENT. Sandra White operated a travel agency. To obtain lower airline fares for her nonmilitary clients, she booked military-rate travel by forwarding fake military identification cards to the airlines. The U.S. government charged White with identity theft, which requires the “use” of another’s identification. As background, the court in the White case had two cases that represented precedents. In the first case, David Miller obtained a loan to buy land by representing that certain investors had approved the loan when, in fact, they had not. Miller’s conviction for identity theft was overturned because he had merely said that the investors had done something when they had not. According to the court, this was not the “use” of another’s identification. In the second case, Kathy Medlock, an ambulance service operator, had transported patients for whom there was no medical necessity to do so. To obtain payment, Medlock had forged a physician’s signature. The court…

What if Dunkin’ Donuts maintains that it needs these requirements to maintain its quality levels on a nationwide basis? [Ungar v. Dunkin’ Donuts of America, Inc., 429 U.S    5 - Hines Cosmetic Co. sold beauty preparations nationally to beauty shops at a standard or fixed- price schedule. Some of the shops were also supplied with a free demonstrator and free advertising materials. The shops that were not supplied with them claimed that giving the free services and materials constituted unlawful price discrimination. Hines replied that there was no price discrimination because it charged everyone the same. What it was giving free was merely a promotional campaign that was not…
WikiLeaks published more than 250,000 secret U.S. diplomatic cables in September 2011, which included requests made by diplomats to gather intelligence information for espionage. This was the third major leak of military secrets of 2010, and the United States government tried to prosecute WikiLeaks and prevent future leaks. However, the First Amendment guarantees citizens freedom of the press and very few restrictions have been permitted by the Supreme Court. The Congressional Research Service concluded that no publisher of leaked information has ever been prosecuted for publishing the material, and the only legal action the U.S. government could take was to charge an Army soldier, Bradley Manning, with violating the Espionage Act for purportedly supplying WikiLeaks with the video of the helicopter and other classified documents. After this third leak, several major Internet companies began to shut off services to WikiLeaks, and the organization moved to Amazon servers, but Amazon…
