Constitutional law attorneys handle cases involving the construction and interpretation of federal and state constitutions, including individual rights and governmental powers. Constitutional law cases can involve issues like First Amendment rights -- such as freedom of speech, press, and religion -- and the checks and balances on authority among different branches of government. Most of the federal constitutional rights are found in the Bill of Rights, that was created originally as a limitation on the action by the federal government, but many of those rights are also applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment.
Hydro is a town in Blaine and Caddo counties in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The population was 1,060 at the 2000 census. Hydro was home to Lucille Hammons, a Route 66 icon dubbed "The Mother of the Mother Road. " Her motel and gas station still stand on Old Route 66 just west of Hydro. A modern replica of the station, with a large restaurant attached, is in nearby Weatherford. In downtown Hydro, an old-fashioned drug store still serves sodas and lunch. Also downtown is the "World Famous Hydro Bar. " The bar has been in business since the early years of Hydro and still has pictures of the old-fasioned wood swinging doors that used to be the front doors to the bar. Minnie Lou Bradley, matriarch of the Bradley 3 Ranch in the Texas Panhandle, grew up on a wheat farm near Hydro.
