some Boston College student might sue


Andrew Cuomo who sees that Nassau OTB is closed on Roman Catholic Palm Sunday in preference to Greek Orthodox Palm Sunday and Roman Catholic Easter Sunday in preference to Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday. See also NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3. 
Nassau OTB should be open 365 days of the year without religious preference. Please send us a Boston Lawyer to beat our Governor to a pulp in a court of law. He's just another damn Yankee. Squish 'em in court and take the money.


Cardinal to Boycott Boston College Rite

Cardinal Sean O'Malley, archbishop of Boston, in Rome in March.
Boston's Roman Catholic leader traditionally delivers the blessing during the graduation ceremony at Boston College, the most prominent Catholic college in the archdiocese.
But Cardinal Sean O'Malley will skip this year's ceremony, set for Monday, saying he objects to the participation of another scheduled speaker: Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who supports legislation in Ireland that would permit abortions in order to save the life of the mother.
U.S. bishops have asked that Catholic institutions not honor officials who "promote abortion," Cardinal O'Malley said in a statement. Since the university "has not withdrawn the invitation and because the [prime minister] has not seen fit to decline, I shall not attend the graduation," he wrote.
Boston College invited Mr. Kenny because of the school's close ties with Ireland and won't change its plans, spokesman Jack Dunn said.
Mr. Dunn said the college "supports the church's position on the sanctity of life," but "we disagree with the interpretation that some have chosen to take regarding this proposed legislation in Ireland."
Abortion is illegal in Ireland, and though there are emergency exceptions on the books, doctors rarely perform them for fear of prosecution. Lawmakers have been debating the issue since a jury ruled in April that poor medical care led to the well-publicized death last year of an Indian woman who underwent a drawn-out miscarriage in an Irish hospital, where doctors refused to perform an abortion.
The legislation would allow abortions when doctors determine the pregnancy presents a "real and substantial risk" to a mother's life, including from suicide.
The legislation "restates the general prohibition on abortion in Ireland," but provides "legal clarity" to doctors, Mr. Kenny said in a May 1 speech. His office declined to comment Tuesday.
The Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, a conservative advocacy group, said it was "delighted" at the cardinal's withdrawal from the graduation. But Stephanie Rice, a senior student and president of the College Democrats of Boston College, said she was "deeply disappointed" that the cardinal "has chosen to politicize" graduation.
