Between arrest and trial, where is the evidence housed? With the police, or the DA that is prosecuting the case?

As a superpower a nation should have an ability to project itself on a global scale. The US achieves this to a limit through soft force (culture, media, etc...), we are witnessing the "world's only superpower" failing in securing safe, habitable and self sufficient nations on behalf of democracy and human rights. Surely a true superpower would not be in this situation?

I think Giuliani could win New York just because of his popularity there and California too with the help of some endorsements from the governator? What do you think?

First I want to make something perfecly clear: this is NOT a "political" question. I simply want to know on what LEGAL grounds (if any) could President Bush be impeached? I am not interested in answers like "because he's bad" or " you must be a liberal" - I really want to know: on what LEGAL grounds could G.W. Bush be impeached? If answer is "none" please be specific in your details. Best answer = 10 pts, as usual. Thanks to all who will post INTELLIGENT answers.

claim to have suffered 'psychological trauma' due to workplace bullying? Workplace bullying awards take in to account future loss of earnings but they do not take in to account: 1) that the person may get another high earning job 2) that earnings are for WORK done- not for what you might have done had you continued to work there.it is always people in their 30s and above who sue. People younger than that tend to say 'ce sera sera'- imagine if everyone who was bullied at school sued the school. Yet that's what some poeple earn MASSIVE payments (often in 10s of thousands , sometimes even in the millions) for at work. Who is really going to suffer lasting psychological effect? The older adult who should be able to put things in perspective or the child whose personality is still forming?

The cabinet of the UK government currently seems resemble a Presbyterian Church committee, who delight in fire, brimstone, wrath and in creating a nanny-state. Why don't they go into Scottish politics and leave the English to rule themselves?

is more against illegal immigration? I know that each individual is different, but in aggregate, which party stands for what.

BTW, I'm more talking about the party's supporters, ie you and me. Its pretty clear that the politicians have realized at this point that there is no workable solution to the problem, and they are therefore almost entirely hands off on the subject.

This not a question of whether we were right or wrong regarding invading Iraq, as I already know what the majority liberal opinion is on that question. This is a question about how many people will make statements like we don't support the war, but we support the troops. How can you support the troops if you do not support their mission? And especially for those who say we have already lost the war. How can you reasonably say you support the troops if you believe they are incapable of accomplishing their mission under any circumstances? My intention is not to bash you, I honestly see these statements as being contradictions of each other and would like to know how you justify your position.

Explain to me how the Democratic Politicians (such as Ted Kennedy) and Community Leaders (such as The Rev. J. Jackson) can sit around and tell the lazy in this country that it’s the evil rich that are holding them down? In fact all of these mega-rich mouth pieces are the ones that are holding them town by encouraging them to fail.

...he claimed he was attacked while walking across a park, and his hair was cut off. Sikhs from all over the world condemned this "racist attack" and there was at least one rally in his support. Turns out he was having trouble trying to balance his Sikh traditions and his Scottish way of life, and wanted to cut his hair short, so he punched himself in the face and cut his own hair off, then reported he'd been the victim of a racial assault. He isn't being prosecuted for wasting police time. In the current climate of heightened racial tensions in some areas, do you think it was right for him to be let off? Luckily, unlike certain other ethnic groups, Sikhs don't seem to kick off at the slightest percieved provocation, but this could easily have escalated into violent demonstrations or worse.
