Tuesday, 24 April 2012, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Weeee're back! Hello patient readers what can we say? No excuses, those are for governments. Readers should remember as always to avoid READING FREE UNLIMITED TIMES CONTENT SIMPLY BY READERS SETTING THEIR FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". We missed each and every one of you greatly and shuddered at the thought of another day and night passed with no new post and no new features just before it all comes together as the the various components of the imminent web page that will bring together a broad range of features now in the final stages of beta development with more of the best minds of our generation daily coming on board. The spirit and unique perspective of the news reporting elements of the log (also called the truth) certainly will remain the foundational core of any web page evolving herefrom.
Nevertheless the gonzo journalism heritage of the Ninth Amendment sprung from the void of truth about the United States which is actively distorted and withheld by the State from Americans, and as we have seen somewhat surprisingly in our worldwide strategic big-screen TV "Situation Rooms" (just like the White House only no ballroom), duplicate disaster facilities, and scores of posts and stations, also apparently of growing interest to a steadily growing readership worldwide amongst our sisters and brothers bound in the politically and commercially created artificial borders into countries which now span the globe.
All statistical reports from those lands that neighbor the United States literally or here on the American continents extending to places at the furthest reaches of the other side of our planet encourage the Ninth Amendement daily to forge ahead in its humble efforts at effecting the continuation and expansion of gonzo journalism with a fervent need to document those responsible for the dismantling of the United States Constitution, as the Ninth Amendment is proving to be of keen interest to a growing readership which now spans the globe with statistics showing the frequent addition of readers in new countries weekly to this log.
The comment below submitted to the New York Times by the Ninth Amendment editorial staff (not known whether it was or was not digitally published in the Times) responded to an article appearing therein with the last week regarding the apparent expoitation by lawyers of a law meant to protect the disabled but is being used by some of the City's most high-profile disability lawyers to make themselves rich off the mandate of provisions of the law mandating the payment of reasonable attorneys' fees to lawyers in such cases because none of the disabled could be expected to do so as the law essentially provides the wronged disabled plaintiff nearly no award while allowing the attorney recover many times that for their work in winning the case for a disabled plaintiff.
In point of fact the plaintiffs are somewhat poor examples of what the textbook plaintiff may look like in that the lawyers choose them from their own "pool" of potential plaintiffs for cases where they seem best suited although they seldom are familiar either with the establshment (usually a small business) being sued nor have they actually themselves suffered the harm for which their attorney receives their fee award (which is multiples of what the disabled plaintiff receives) until their attorney introduces them to the case where they will be the aggrieved party. Also convenient is that the cases near always settle so in the Times some quoted referred to this as "extortion" or "shake-downs" where a lawyer might be prosecuting several cases at once often with the same person serving as plaintiff in several of the cases.

We are totally sympathetic of those with disabilities. The goals of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) may be laudable in trying to bring some kind of rough equality for the disabled, the bill reportedly was enacted into a law of several hundred dense pages all of which virtually no one sounds capable of familiarizing themselves though many lawyers have been able to find the mandatory award of lawyers' fees provisions. A ripe opportunity for the law of unintended consequences. Here a feeding frenzy of some of the most high-profile disability law factories that latch onto the fee provision to make a lucrative career of but one law where they almost need never go to trial but merely "confidentially settle" cases including their fees without having to win while getting but a fraction of their fee for their clients often playing the plaintiff in several simultaneous "shakedowns" where the plaintiff was not even aware of the circumstances until the lawyer brought them up to speed. It looks and smells to be a textbook blatant violation of lawyer solicitation ethics laws lawyers follow in order to share the rare honor of being "officers of the court". This cannot help but call to mind another law the use of which here also may prove to be another surprising unintended consequence for these lawyers which they even now may be violating, and with which many Americans now have become familiar, and that would be RICO aka the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act.
