  Overlawyered: Lawsuit claim: legal right to more publicity
Or it thought it had the last laugh, because Kitson is now suing Us Weekly claiming a legal right to the publicity the magazine is withholding and alleging $10,000/week in damages from the loss of publicity.
The suit claims that there was an oral agreement as part of the settlement of their prior suit.
Even with that, some of the claims (that lack of coverage is "disparaging") are frivolous.

 Jones Day - Publications - Proof of Claim Forfeits Right to Jury Trial
The ramifications of filing a proof of claim include acknowledgment of the court's jurisdiction to adjudicate the claim itself as well as related counterclaims and waiver of the right to a jury trial.
Courts consider a number of factors in deciding whether withdrawal is appropriate, including diligence in pursing withdrawal, undue vexatiousness, the extent to which the claim has progressed, duplication of litigation expense, the justification for withdrawal, delay in prosecuting the claim, prejudice to others and the importance of the claim to the reorganization effort.
Instead, the court emphasized, when it filed a proof of claim, RK invoked the equitable jurisdiction of the court to resolve the claim and the related preference litigation, and thereby forfeited irrevocably its Seventh Amendment right.

 Right to Petition Government
In America, the right to petition our government for a redress of grievances is an unalienable right—it derives from our faith in a supreme being—an ultimate moral authority from whom we gain our understanding of equality, justice and the rule of law.
One of the earliest recorded guarantees of the people’s right to petition the King for redress of grievances is found in chapter 61 of the Magna Carta, written of 1215.
By 1669, Parliament resolved that every commoner in England possessed “the inherent right to prepare and present petitions” to it “in case of grievance,” and that Parliament had “to receive the same” and to judge whether they were “fit” to be received.

 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RIGHT AND A LIBERTY by Prof. William E. May
Thus pro-life people affirm the right of the unborn to life, whereas feminists claim the right of women to have an abortion; workers affirm their right to a just wage, smokers their right to smoke, some infertile couples their right to have a child, etc.
This enables us to clarify “rights” talk and to distinguish between a “right” and a “liberty” and to determine, on the basis of a moral analysis, whether the “right” or “liberty” claimed is authentic.
We have seen already that the claim of advocates of voluntary euthanasia that people have a “right” to die is indeed a claim to a right in the strict sense.

 The Palestinian Claim to a “Right of Return”   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The right of refugees to return to their homes is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International law, and in UN Resolution 194.
In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.
Clearly, the “rights” and “general welfare” of the great majority of Israel’s citizens would not long survive the admission of some 4 to 5 million Palestinian refugees (for this is the number of refugees that the Palestinians now claim) who neither owe the country allegiance nor identify themselves as Israelis.

Posted by Lyle Denniston at 10:10 AM After an individual has been convicted of murder, that person has no constitutional right to try to head off a death sentence by trying to offer new evidence suggesting that the conviction itself was invalid, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Wednesday.
At sentencing (the third sentencing proceeding after he had won earlier appeals), Guzek sought to introduce live testimony from his mother providing additional evidence of an alibi, beyond what she had said as a witness at the trial.
In one, the Justices decided unanimously that the 1866 civil rights law guaranteeing an equal right of all races to enter into contracts does not apply when the individual seeking relief does not have a contractual relationship with the party sued.

 The Irish Trojan’s Blog » Blog Archive » Slippery Slopewatch: 2 CT ex-teachers claim privacy right ...
As to the right of a legislature to create special classes of felons for otherwise legal activity…I agree there are special circumstances that pass constitutional muster.
For example, if, say, you had told a dirty joke to Pearl Williams, and she had been offended (hahahaha) and claimed that you were sexually harrassing her, the state would have much more leeway to take disciplinary action against you as an employee than it would to charge you with a crime as a citizen.
The government is perfectly within its rights to say, “You’re allowed to wear an ‘I Voted Today’ sticker, or a Breast Cancer Awareness button, but you can’t wear a profane button or a sticker with a political message.” That’s a content-based restriction, but it’s OK in that context.
