A merger of Connecticut-based GE and New Jersey-based Honeywell qualified for Euro-scrutiny because the combined revenues of the two companies exceed the EU's circuit-breakers of $4.3 billion in global sales and $215 million in EU sales...
...scorned--or raped, as Martinez claimed in the suit she filed two years ago. It charged not only Roque but also the Cuban government with committing sexual battery against her each time she and Roque had intercourse.

Edwards' favorite is state Appeals Court Judge James A. Wynn, an African-American whom Helms has blocked in the past...
...Disability activists have been phoning Democrats on Judiciary demanding that they block Columbus, Ohio, attorney Jeffrey Sutton from taking a seat on the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. Sutton, who's a former Ohio solicitor, successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court last year that the Constitution limits suits against state governments for discrimination because of a disability. Liberals also accuse him of being hostile to civil rights...
