Its a first time glimpse into the lawsuit then filed by a Temple University employee and since then several women have made similar claims. Gloria allred represents some of the women. And this confirms the susfiction of some of the accusers that mr. Cosby did plan to use quaaludes in order in his words to have sex with young women. According to the documents cosbys lawyers insisted that the women he gave the quaaludes too knew they were taking them bruce caster said in 2005, he put in writing that they would not pursue cosby.

To limit the use of predispute forced arbitration clauses in contracts for Financial Services and products. I strongly oppose the Congressional Review Act resolution to dismantle this vital Consumer Protection. Forced arbitration clauses force individuals to sign away their right to go to court as a condition of buying a product or service, and they allow Corporate America to take advantage of a shadow Justice System that is inherently biased toward the corporation, offers no meaningful appeals process. To put it bluntly, these clauses serve one purpose and one purpose alone. To help make sure the giant corporations still come out on top if they have wronged consumers. Thankfully weve started to make some progress in addressing forced arbitration. Five years ago the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau began an intensive study of forced arbitration clauses in consumer Financial Services contracts for things like credit cards, savings accounts and private student loans. The study confir

We also serve notice here and now that if we have anything to do with it, the days of taking black and poor votes for granted is over. Let it be understood that we say this not in the spirit of self arrogance, but as a natural consequence of our firm belief that the legislative and executive branches of government must be more accountable to the more neglected of our citizens than they have been in the past.
