About this listen

 This podcast series focus primarily on SCOTUS decisions and the reading of them. It is my personal belief that the actual decisions written have become distorted through the personal lenses of reporters and their corporate employers. I intend on reading key decisions throughout the term of the Court as well as placing political readings which I consider relevant to the modern times and my own personal interests. I hope you enjoyThese works are in the public domain, the use of my personal voice belongs to Danilo Feliciano and assigned to None of the Above and cannot be reproduced without permission.

    About This TextComposed: Talmudic Israel, c.150 – c.250 CE

    Targum Pseudo-Jonathan is a western targum (translation) of the Torah (Pentateuch) from the land of Israel (as opposed to the eastern Babylonian Targum Onkelos). Its correct title was originally Targum Yerushalmi (Jerusalem Targum), which is how it was known in medieval times. But because of a printer's mistake it was later labeled Targum Jonathan, in reference to Jonathan ben Uzziel. Some editions of the Pentateuch continue to call it Targum Jonathan to this day. Most scholars refer to the text as Targum Pseudo-Jonathan. This targum is more than a mere translation. It includes much Aggadic material collected from various sources as late as the Midrash Rabbah as well as earlier material from the Talmud. It is effectively a combination of a commentary and a translation. In the portions where it is pure translation, it often agrees with the Targum Onkelos. The date of its composition is disputed. It cannot have been completed before the Arab conquest as it refers to Mohammad's wife Fatima, but might have been initially composed in the 4th Century CE. However, some scholars date it in the 14th Century

    Porto Rico v. Rosaly 227 U.S. 270 (1913)
    Dec 9 2023
    PPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF PORTO RICO.
    No. 145. Submitted January 24, 1913. Decided February 24, 1913.The government of Porto Rico cannot be sued without its consent. The government of Porto Rico, as established by the Organic Act, with some possible exceptions, comes within the general rule exempting a government sovereign in its attributes. That government of Porto Rico, as established by the Organic Act of April 12, 1900, is a strong likeness of that established for Hawaii which has immunity from suit. Kawananakoa v. Polyblank, 205 U.S. 349.
