 2015 STELLA AWARDS

 

   For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 
    81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself
    and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico, where 
    she purchased coffee.  You remember, she took the lid off the
coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. 
     
    That's right;  these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits
      Here are the Stella's for 2015  !!!!


  * SEVENTH PLACE *

    Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000
    by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over  a 
    toddler who was running inside a furniture store.  The store 
    owners were understandably surprised by the verdict,
   considering the running toddler was her own.
    
    Start scratching!
    
    * SIXTH PLACE *
    
   
   Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus
   medical expenses when his neighbour ran over his hand with
   a  Honda Accord.  Truman apparently didn't notice there was 
   someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying  to steal 
   his neighbour's hubcaps.
    
    Scratch some more...

 

    * FIFTH PLACE *
   
    Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, who was leaving a 
    house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately
    for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and 
    he could not get the garage door to open.  Worse, he couldn't 
    re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to
    the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for
    eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi 
    and a large bag  of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's 
    insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish.  Amazingly, 
    the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000
    for his anguish.  We should all have this kind of anguish. 
     


   Keep scratching. There are more...
 
   Double hand scratching after this one..
    
   
    * FOURTH PLACE * 
   

    Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the 
    Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after 
    being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbour's beagle - even 
    though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard.  
    Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury 
    believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the 
    butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard
   and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
    
   
  Pick a new spot to scratch, you're getting a bald spot..

 

  
    * THIRD PLACE *
     
    Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered 
    a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on 
    a spilled soft dink and broke her tailbone.  The reason the soft drink 
    was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds
    earlier during an argument.
     
    Only two more so ease up on the scratching...
  
   
   
  
*SECOND PLACE*
     
   
    Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night
    club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to
    the floor, knocking out her two front teeth.  Even though Ms.
    Walton  was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid
    paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay
    her  $12,000...oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. 
    Go figure.
     
    Ok. Here we go!!
    
    
    * FIRST PLACE * ~ absolutely brilliant!
   

   This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv 
    Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased  new 32-foot
    Winnebago motor home.  On her first trip home, from  an OU football
    game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at
    70 mph and calmly left the driver's  seat to go to the back of
    the Winnebago to make herself a  sandwich.  Not surprisingly, the motor
    home left the freeway, crashed and over turned.  Also not surprisingly,
    Mrs. Grazinski  sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual
    that she couldn't actually  leave  the driver's seat while the cruise control
    was set. The  Oklahoma  jury awarded her, ** ARE YOU SITTING DOWN ?  **    
   
    **   $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home.  **

   Winnebago actually  changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just
   in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.
      
   If you think the USA court system is out of control, be sure to  pass this one on.

 

 The above should be the wake up call to Americans that we have lost control of just about everything in America due to the Progressive influence and the rot from political correctness. Both teach that it never is the persons fault, point the finger at the rich or the company owned by the rich. the courts will find in your favor.

It's time to start demanding that our State representatives petition for an Article V amendment convention to repeal the 14th, 16th, 17th amendments so we have the Legal high ground and it will also restore the original checks and balances built in to the Constitution by the Founders and Framers of that beloved document.

Repealing the 14th A will restore the 10th which was nullified by the words "No State Shall" in the 14th giving the Federal Government control over the States and the people instead of the Founders intention of having the People control the Sovereign States, and the Sovereign States controlling the Federal Government.

Repealing the 16th A will take away the Federal Governments massive taxation powers and restrict it to only what the founders wanted. In ARTICLE I, SECTION 9, CLAUSE 4, ARTICLE I, SECTION 9, CLAUSE 5  See: ( http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/64/direct-taxes ) and 

( http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/65/export-taxation-clause )

Explaination;

http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/64/direct...

 No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.

ARTICLE I, SECTION 9, CLAUSE 4

HTTP://WWW.HERITAGE.ORG/CONSTITUTION/#!/ARTICLES/1/ESSAYS/65/EXPORT...

No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.

ARTICLE I, SECTION 9, CLAUSE 5

http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/66/port-p...

No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another; nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another.

ARTICLE I, SECTION 9, CLAUSE 6
HTTP://WWW.HERITAGE.ORG/CONSTITUTION/#!/ARTICLES/1/ESSAYS/67/APPROP...

No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

ARTICLE I, SECTION 9, CLAUSE 7

So you can see since the Congress has abdicated their Constitutional Responsibilities and Obligatory Duties, The Supreme Court has usurped the Legislative powers of Congress by effectively Legislating from the Bench, and the current President has a history of Selectively Enforcing Laws, Creating Ersatz Law through Executive Orders that Contradict the Constitutional Laws and Strictures, We Need The Repeal Of Those Three Toxic Amendments (14th,16th,17th) to start the process of Restoring the Republic.

The Stella Awards are a symptom of the rot that is eating away at everything good America used to believe in.
