Personally, i don't like her. At all. I do want diverse opinions, though.

For example, what if someone publically stated their intent to kill at some point in the future, without specifying when, where, or whom?

This would surely constitute grounds to search one's home, but what if no means to carry out the threat were found? What charges could be filed? Is it specific enough to be prosecuted for making "terroristic threats"? How vague is too vague?

What could the consequences be after the individual served their (likely relatively brief) sentence?

What if the threat were for a lesser crime, such as vandalism?

Could the police do anything except watch them like a hawk? With limited resources, such surveilance would seem destined to be short-lived.

Anyway, an interesting hypothetical to play with. Anyone know the answer?

NOTE: I have NO intention of making any such threat, nor do I know anyone who would. I am merely interested in the legal implications of such a situation, which, incidentally, would seem rather unlikely to arise in real life.

Why is President Bush acting so cowardly that every visit to Iraq must be a surprise? What is he afraid of?
He claims to have liberated Iraq, so Iraqi people must have chance to welcome him and greet him.
Even the Iraqi Prime Minister didn’t know he was coming. What a shame!
The American President sent soldiers there to die for nothing, now he himself cannot even say I’m going to Iraq this afternoon.

My son has been accused of molesting a minor.He was 18 at the time and the minor was 14.He was questioned by the police a year after the soposed incident.They told him he was guilty because he didn't answer their questions fast enough.He hasn't been formally charged yet but it has been turned over to DHS.He is waiting on them to tell him what they have decided.What can he do to protect himself?The girl has some mental issues and they totally believe her.All he was tring to do was be a friend .Yes, he was alone with her in her room..he had copied a cd for her.Her mother was there.A few days later her dad called and said she had tried to kill herself and she said my son was the cause.She later said that she was afraid her dad was going to get mad at her for something so she lied.The time frame he has been accused of this is not right but he has no way of proving it.How does he go about finding legal counsel??? He cannot afford to hire one and we are unable to help him.

Or better yet, if Hilary Clinton, Al Gore and Barack Obama all decided to run for office, who would you want to win? Just curious. You can add others...

Do you think that Americans are supporting Isreal against Muslims? Do you think they divide us to make possible for Isreal to survive in Arab? Do you think they got sept 11 because of thier support to Isreal, although they don't have any proof against Muslims except few fake audios, which were rejected by Al-qiada?Do you believe that one who invade your coutry with tanks and fighters is bad, and you have right to fight against their terrorism? Do you think one who they are legal Muslims but support invaders for money or jobs or power are taraitor, and they are your and Islam's enemy, they are the wrong part of Americans divide and rule policey? Don't we need to unite against them, who they are infdels and fighting against Islams politico socio economics system, and use their media to prove that Islam has something wrong?

By shifting their focus to the border, the right wing can use rhetoric about the “war on terror” to silence any opposition to further militarization--on the grounds that this is necessary “to secure our borders.” Evoking the phantom terrorist threat has become the standard practice to silence a discussion of what is actually happening.

...the right are supposedly the great Christians, the ones who support the family unit, traditional values, blah, blah, blah...

Yet one of their biggest talking heads is going on national television, spewing hateful judgment towards the widows of a terrorist attack.

Whatever happened to understanding and sympathy towards others? Or is that reserved for fetuses? Parents and fatherless children be damned?

I am well aware that not ALL the right wingers are backing this loathsome woman. But shouldn't there be more outcry from the party, denouncing those spiteful views?

...all of our bombs and missiles go to waste? Will we be able to proect ourselves from this possible threat to the U.S.? I f we give them all we got before they try anything on us (this is after they declare war on us) would we win? Or would they, with I guess more bombs and missiles combined destroy the U.S./ the world? And will the EU chicken out?

If I am driving and lets say forget to use my turn signal and I get pulled over and I have people in the car and nothing illegal besides my incorrect turn is going on do the cops have the right to ask everyone in the car for id and the such even though they themselves did nothing wrong and dont appear to be drunk high or anything like that. I live in Michigan if it matters
