LEG 100 Week 10 Assignment:

Larry Landlord has recently renovated an apartment and has put it on the market to be rented for $800.00 a month. Larry Landlord has been in business for approximately five (5) years and has had both positive and negative experiences with tenants. Larry Landlord is hoping to find a good, long-term tenant for his apartment. Roger Renter saw Larry’s sign for the apartment for rent and thought the location and the apartment would be perfect. Roger met Larry to look at the apartment and Roger fell in love with it. All of the interior fixtures had been replaced and the unit had a nice large closet. Roger noticed that although newly painted, the exterior of the apartment did show a little bit of wear. Because of the condition of the exterior of the building, Roger asked Larry about any roof leaks. Larry stated that he had never had a leak and was not aware of any leaks.

Roger and Larry entered into a valid contract for the rental of the apartment. (Note: The issue of whether or not a contract exists is NOT part of this question. For purposes of this question assume the contract is valid and there are no issues with the contract.)

Roger Renter was very happy in his new location; the apartment was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. Larry Landlord was also very happy because Roger Renter was a model tenant. Roger Renter paid on time and was quiet and respectful to other tenants.

The part of the country where Roger rented was rainy in the summertime. Roger rented and moved into the apartment in October. In June, a tremendous rainstorm occurred and Roger’s roof began to leak. The leak was minor at first and Roger merely put a trash can under the leak and had no other issues that month. When handing over his monthly rent check, Roger told Larry about the small leak. Larry thanked Roger for letting him know about the leak and told Roger he would have it fixed.

The next month the rains came again and the leak grew larger in Roger’s apartment. Roger was not home at the time of the rain and therefore the leak damaged some of Roger’s furniture. Roger called Larry to let him know that there was a leak and asked when it might be fixed. Roger also stated that he thought Larry had fixed the roof. Larry curtly stated, “When it rains, sometimes it pours. When it pours, sometimes it leaks.” Roger did not like Larry’s tone or response and called back to ask when the roof might be fixed. Larry stated, “When I get to it.” The following day, Roger sent Larry a note about the roof leak and asked Larry to please address the issue.

The week before the rent was due, another rainstorm occurred and the leak was even larger. This time the leak damaged Roger’s clothing, furniture, and some precious items he had inherited from family members. Roger called Larry and asked Larry to fix roof immediately. Larry responded in a similar and condescending manner. Roger hung up the phone and threw his baseball bat against the wall, damaging the drywall and knocking out an electrical socket.

Since it was the rainy season, Roger knew it would rain again and therefore simply moved his items away from the leak and did nothing to help mitigate the damage from the leaking roof.

Larry came into the apartment to investigate the leak and found damage from not only the leak but also from the thrown baseball bat. Roger states that the baseball bat damage was a direct result of Larry’s inability to fix the leak based on his anger from Larry’s curt response.

• Two Examples of Homeland Security Issues in Art or Popular Culture

For
this task, identify two expressions, representations, statements, etc.
of a homeland security topic and explain the relation and significance
of the work.

For example, English singer Billy Bragg wrote and
recorded “Help Save the Youth of America.” Take a look at the lyrics
online and see below for a sample commentary:

In the song,
Bragg presciently identifies a number of topics that will become central
in the homeland security dialogue. Written in 1986, some 15 years
before the events of September 11^th,
Bragg’s core theme circles around the familiar accusation that U.S.
foreign policy is too isolationist. This accusation has been made
numerous times, most notably during the twentieth century’s two world
wars. This is an ironic argument since the United States ultimately
became a major contributor, and arguably—perhaps even obviously—the
catalyst for victory in each conflict.

Bragg also opines
upon globalization, U.S. military engagement, illegal immigration,
consumerism, crime, and the general narcissism/naïveté of American
culture. These topics …

• Identification of Two Pre-9/11 Homeland Security Events

As
we study this new concept of “homeland security,” we quickly learn that
threats to national security are not new. In fact, the United States
faced major threats to its existence even before it was officially a
nation. Identify and describe two such events in U.S. history that
occurred prior to September 11, 2001, and explain why this event/threat
was similar to current homeland security events.

• Legal Counsel Exercise

Assume
that you are legal counsel for the Scorpions, a militant
nongovernmental subset of a Serbian political opposition group, the
Bosniak Srpska. During a strategic planning meeting with top officials,
Scorpion Subcommander (there are no commanders in the Scorpions in order
to mitigate assassinations) Bensayah Belkacem is discussing his plans
to commit violent attacks against U.S. citizens and property.
Subcommander Belkacem confides that these acts will be performed on
behalf of the internationally recognized government of Pasdora, a small
country in Southwest Asia near the Caspian Sea.

Subcommander
Belkacem knows that you have been educated in the United States and have
studied legal and political issues involving U.S. domestic and foreign
policy, particularly in the areas of homeland security and the U.S.’s
professed Global War on Terror/Overseas Contingency Operations. During
the meeting, your opinion on the following matters is asked:

1) If
the United States learns about the Scorpions’ plan, is President Obama
empowered to order a military attack against us? If yes, how would he
most likely justify his actions?

2) If U.S. Army soldiers
detain our fighters and transfer them to Saudi Arabia (a country known
to torture people) for questioning, what is this process called? Does
U.S. public policy allow for such a practice? If the current U.S. policy
is to allow such a practice, is this policy lawful?

3) As part
of its Global War on Terror, the Bush Administration took many captured
fighters to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. If our soldiers are taken there, is
it likely that they—none of whom are United States citizens—will be able
to access the U.S. federal court system and wage litigation warfare?
What is the background and current status of this issue?

4) What
is a military tribunal? Has the United States used military tribunals
in the past? Is the United States currently using military tribunals
and, if so, what is their status?

5) Is it true that the United
States spies on its own citizens? What are some of the governmental
organizations/agencies involved in doing this? Is it lawful for the
military to participate in this type of domestic activity?

6) If we believe the United States is going to attack us, is it lawful for us to attack them first? How would we justify it?

7) We
understand the United States has a document called the Constitution.
Describe its framework and the main concepts, powers, and rights that it
contains?

8) Which branch of the U.S. federal government is the most powerful?

(e) Statute Draft

For
this task, you need to identify the next great idea in homeland
security. Articulate and format your idea as the introduction to a new
legislative act. Below are a few paragraphs from the USA PATRIOT Act as
an example of how to format the task:

Pakistani descent, who is believed to have gone to the World Trade
