And they will have an interest in clamping down hard on violations of law and order by armed groups. It will likely instruct...

See also Tedeschi v. Reardon, 5 F.Supp.2d 40, 42 n. 3 (D.Mass.1998); Sheriff of Middlesex County v. International...

King, a Georgetown law professor and expert in bioethics, to replace Harper...
