Why Not Put Students and Taxpayers First?

After the United States Supreme Court ruling this past June finally and rightfully overturning “Chevron Deference,” one might hope that federal agencies and the bureaucrats who populate them in Washington, D.C. would recognize and respect the new limitations on their previous excesses.

The ruling struck a major blow against administrative state overreach.  And while the Court’s decision specifically dealt with agencies’ rulemaking process and the ability to interpret statutes however they like, hopefully it and similar previous rulings will start imposing desperately needed guardrails to prevent rouge agency action.

A Los Angeles, California, man is suing actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, claiming she duped him into sending her naked photos.

Rodrigo Ruiz has filed suit seeking $10,000 in damages for sexual harassment.  According to news sources, Ruiz submitted a demo tape to someone he believed was in Lopez' camp and thereafter received several follow-up letters asking for more demo tapes and naked photos.  Ruiz claims the letters led him to believe that he had a chance at a music career and a romantic relationship with Lopez. Now Ruiz says he is depressed and in need of professional help.

As it turns out, the mailing address Ruiz sent the materials to was a P.O. box owned by a 53-year-old Los Angeles woman.

A representative for Lopez told TMZ, "This is a small claims matter that appears to be a desperate attempt for notoriety. Ms Lopez has never seen or met the plaintiff, nor has she ever communicated with him. We believe this matter should be summarily dismissed."
