    Opinions for the week of February 1 – February 5, 2021 Albert Richardson, Jr. v. USA No. 20-1915 Submitted January 27, 2021 — Decided February 1, 2021 Case Type: Prisoner Southern District of Illinois. No. 92-cr-30116-SMY — Staci M. Yandle, Judge. Before MICHAEL B. BRENNAN, Circuit Judge; MICHAEL Y. SCUDDER, Circuit Judge; AMY J. ST. EVE, Circuit Judge. ORDER Albert Richardson appeals the district court’s order denying his petition for a writ of coram nobis… Richardson filed a petition for a writ of error coram nobis with the district court that presided over his 1992 conviction, arguing that sentencing errors in that case led to an undue sentence enhancement for his current conviction… Even so, Richardson is not entitled to relief. A writ of coram nobis is “to be used only in extraordinary cases” where it is necessary “to achieve justice...” He mounts no meaningful challenge to his 1992 conviction; he challenges only the lawfulness of the resulting sentence. An error in a defendant’s sentence is not so “fundamental” as to render the conviction itself “invalid…” AFFIRMED Laura Ann Harris-Patterson v. Andrew Saul No. 20-1805 Argued January 26, 2021 — Decided February 1, 2021 Case Type: Civil Western District of Wisconsin. No. 19-cv-487-bbc — Barbara B. Crabb, Judge. Before DIANE S.

Abstract This thesis traces the formation and development of the idea of “having it all” from the mid-twentieth century to the present. Drawing on film, television, and magazines, I argue that mass media alternately challenged and reinforced the perceived contradiction between women’s roles as mothers and as workers. At times, the feminist call for equality prevailed and onscreen heroines were portrayed as independent and vocal. At other times, when conservative views grew louder, characters renounced their careers for domesticity. Although both progressive and traditional ideals endured throughout this sixty-year period, the relative influence of each waxed and waned. Based upon the teachings of sociologists during the 1950s, the happy housewife and the more fully realized version of her – the Supermother – remained the motherhood ideal for American women throughout that decade and well into the next. After a decade of increased maternal employment, the Supermother became the Superwoman, who fulfilled all of the requirements of her predecessor, plus a career.
