Adams vs. Uno Restaurants, Inc.
Gerald K. Adams, the plaintiff, had been employed by Uno Restaurants, Inc., the defendant, for several years. On March 20, 1996, Adams arrived for his nighttime line cooking shift at Uno Restaurants in Warwick. Few minutes into his shift, Adams noticed that the restaurant's kitchen floor was soaked with a foul-smelling liquid that came from the drains. The plaintiff then complained of illness and went home and then notified the Department of Health regarding the draining issue at the restaurant's kitchen. The department responded through visiting the restaurant and ordering it to be closed that night after discovering the health hazard brought by the drainage problem. When the restaurant reopened the following day after sanitizing the kitchen, the restaurant's manager, David Badot, called Adams into his office and shouted at him while trying to find out whether he informed the Department of Health.

After the altercation, the plaintiff left the restaurant, was arrested, and ultimately filed a lawsuit against the defendant on the premise that he was illegally dismissed for notifying the Department of Health about the drainage problem. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Adams and awarded him $7,500 in damages based on the Whistleblowers' Protection Act of the state.

Three decades following the original Court decision, many Americans continued to believe that the Roe v. Wade decision was morally wrong and strongly believed that it should, and could, be overturned. Other Americans, however, continued to just as strongly support the Roe v. Wade original decision. They had a deep moral belief that a woman should not be coerced by the country's law to bear a child if, for
That's why I am instructing my Administration to get to work immediately with Congress on this issue. We are going to talk with bipartisan Congressional leaders to develop a forceful response to this decision. The public interest requires nothing less. Eight justices did concur that Congress has the responsibility to require corporations to disclose their spending and to run disclaimers with their advertisements, for "disclosure permits citizens and shareholders to
Johnson Controls, Inc. (886 F.2d 871 (7th Cir. 1989). The Supreme Court heard this case because they were concerned with an employer's gender-based fetal-protection policy.

In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court struck down the employer's fetal protection policy as violation
Branches When it comes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, all three branches of the United States government play their own role when it comes to this enacted legislation. Beyond that, the idea of federalism and federal supremacy clearly come into play given that the states are largely at the mercy and whim of what the federal government mandates. Even with that, the individual parts of the government
