This Act "permanently eliminates" Habeas Corpus (The right to ask why you are being imprisoned). Once you have been imprisoned and are not allowed to ask why, have you lost all of your other rights ?

6. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.

With 12 million or more illegal immigrants from Mexico and other Latin countries in the US and not much being done to reverse or even slow down the trend it seems to me that our government doesn't want to put an end to illegal immigration. Do you think there is another agenda or do you think the govenment wants to stop illegal immigration but is overwhelmed by the task?

with the US flag as the highest? I have searched many websites and discovered an order of precedence for the 5 military service branches. None mention displaying the National flag with the other service branch flags, and where they are placed in relation to the Stars & Stripes, which is always flown highest, or placed in the center.

I have to display 6 flags with the Stars & Stripes in the center. Which order do I display them, from viewer's left to viewer's right?

Okay so my friends talked about something when we were doing random acts of kindness (RAKs) at church group. One guy said he played Meter Fairy, where he placed coins in peoples parking meters at random. While they did it, a police caught them and told them that it was not allowed.
What is the law (New Jersey) that states this is illegal, and why is it illegal?

I've voted before, but I moved to Los Angeles this semester. A volunteer on my campus had me fill out the registration form about a month ago, since I'd be voting in a new county of California. She took all the paperwork and said she'd turn it in and I'd be able to vote November 7th. Well, that's tomorrow now and I never recieved any packet in the mail. I used the CA website to find out WHERE I'm supposed to vote, I am just afraid I'll go there and they'll say I'm not on the list or something. Since I didn't get anything in the mail I'm worried that maybe my paperwork didn't go through...Does anyone know a number I could call to make sure I'm okay to vote tomorrow? Should I just not worry about this and go anyways to the polls tomorrow? Thanks!

When every liberal news outlet is saying . . . . Everyone in America needs to watch " Obsession-The Threat of Radical Islam " . A new film depicting unbelievable HATRED and KILLING of evry person who is not a believer of their ideology. This is 'new' news. Pretty much came out in the last couple days. I saw the program and make no mistake about it. They want TOTAL world control. For 30 years the state-controlled TV stations in the middle east have been broadcasting childrens shows that teach 5-6 year olds to " Kill every infidel you can ". These little kids were singing songs about how they wanted to please allah and kill for him. When asked . . . What do you want to do when you grow up?. . . . These children were all to happy to respond .. .. .." I want to kill the infidels and smear their blood all over my body ". And just so you know, they defined 'infidel' as anybody who didn't subscribe to their HATE filled beliefs. And they'll start with Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists

I find those ads interesting but I find a problem with them. One, why didn't "they" show the ads when the Republicans were going to win control of congress? Two, Is there a subliminal message telling voters NOT to vote?

so many questions and answers that although offensive, are still an opinion. Yeah they may be warped but shouldn't they be counted? What is a fair way to judge offensive material? And do you find their standards biased, or overzealous?

lets leave religion and arguing whether its a baby or not at the door okay folks.


If a building was being demolished and out of the thousands of people there: one person claims to have seen someone enter the building, is it ethical for the building to be demolished as planned (without making absolutely sure no one was in there)?

If there is any chance of human life being inside, no matter how slight, its ethically wrong to go ahead and do something that would end that life?

As long as there is the SLIGHTEST POSSIBILITY that its a real baby from the moment of conception, is it wrong to kill it?

We don't need to prove its a baby. While there is still a chance it COULD, be a baby, u have to prove it isn't, if u dont want it to be constitutionally wrong to have an abortion.
