Law

A Japanese court has ruled that the Governments negligence contributed to the triple meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011 and has awarded damages to evacuees. The court ruling on Friday said that the disaster could have been averted if  the government had used its regulatory powers to force the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), who were also held liable, to take adequate preventive measures.

California's Chief Supreme Court Justice, Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye, is apparently annoyed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are "stalking courthouses" in California to arrest illegal immigrants.  Of course, only a California judge would ignore the inherent irony of this situation as ICE officials are only forced to "stalk courthouses" because Tani's court refuses to enforce federal laws. 

Here are some excerpts from the letter addressed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and DHS Secretary Mike Kelly:

Why the sudden silence?

A robot at a Michigan car factory killed a human employee after it “went rogue” and “crushed her skull“, according to a new lawsuit filed by the employee’s husband. “The robot from section 130 should have never entered section 140, and should have never attempted to load a hitch assembly within a fixture that was already loaded with a hitch assembly,” the lawsuit says. According to the lawsuit, the accident happened July 7, 2015, at Ionia-based Ventra Ionia, which specializes in the welding and stamping of truck bumpers and trailer hitches.
