Presiding Bishop Wants To Stifle GC2009′s Consideration Of The Convenant

Read it all. It is a terribly good thing to note, however, that the PB has absolutely no control about what resolutions are presented to the convention. As a deputy, I have the right to propose three resolutions myself. My standing committee also would have the right to propose such a resolution before GC2009, and I think it is a safe bet that we would propose one. Will it get out of committee? Who knows, but the deputies can pass a resolution to recall a resolution from committee and bring it to the floor. Any such “nay” actions on the resolution will constitute a rejection of the covenant, then opening the door to Dioceses affirming the same.

It will be an interesting convention, to be sure.

Punch drunk law

With the economy tanking (and yes, it is tanking) I’m busier than ever. That is the problem with being a commercial litigator and a business bankruptcy guy. I hate to say it, but in twelve years of practice, I’ve never seen banks call PERFORMING loans. I emphasize performing, meaning that all payments have been made on a timely basis.

What I also didn’t realize is that economic desperation actually causes more litigation. Where folks once would have put up some money to make a problem go away, they have no money to put up and therefore pay the lawyers instead.

To top it all off, I think everyone is just an emotional wreck with everything going on nowadays. My family, people I work with, people at church, you name it.

I don’t think the election is helping much either.

I feel like Al Pacino did in the move “And Justice For All.” Saw this clip tonight as part of an Inn of Court seminar tonight.

It is tough trying to be a finder of the truth that gets so obscured.
