If I had my way, there would be no dating among employees, period. In the military, you get court-martialed from fraternizaiton (dating the help) and I think that to be a good policy. The company is who loses when two people at the same company date. Further, the company ends up exposed to frivilous lawsuits claiming sexual harrassment or hostile work environment when the inevitable breakup happens. As a minimum, the entire company; or at least of portion of it, gets embroiled in taking sides. there are over 6 BILLION people in the world...go date one who doesn't work in the next cube.
As for the Supreme Court...they are doing just fine INTERPRETING the laws rather than MAKING laws. Constitution 101 tells us that the Legislature makes the laws, the Executive Branch signs them into law and the Courts interpret the laws. The liberal justices and judges are the ones in direct violation of our constitution when they make law. If they want to do that, run a campaign, get elected and then write the laws. Otherwise, interpret per the Constitution.

Just sign it. You don't get a choice.
Given that most citizens working at corporations have already signed some kind of statement "agreeing" to be fired at any time for ANY reason or NO reason, and given that we have a current Supreme Court with five like-minded guys (Thomas, Scalia, Kennedy, Roberts and Alito) who are likely to uphold such objectionable and over-reaching nonsense on corporations' behalf, god luck.
When the Dilbert-inspired lawyers at work come at you with a few more ways to sign away your legal protections, what are you gonna do? Balk? Yeah, right.
THINK about this stuff before you elect another president to appoint your future Supreme Court Justices. They are the real "deciders" and you (we) mere citizens are already way behind in the score on this. If you don't believe me, just "Google" Lilly Ledbetter and Goodyear Tire and check out the "tone" of what your Supreme Court has done for you lately.
You're taking a break from your job-hunting and job-hopping ways and have decided to stay put in your current position. Liz Wolgemuth’s careers blog will show you how to make the very best of your job, each day.
