They can smoke weed legally, have nudity on their basic cable stations, gamble and have basically no censorship....

Why do we continue living this lie like we are "so free" and a democracy?

I got recently got a ticket 2 weeks ago in Wisconsin. I live in Illinois. Today, I got a few letters in the mail about attorneys asking if I needed them to appear in court with me. My parents have no clue I got this ticket, so I was wondering if it would be beneficial to hire one. One of them said it's possible that they may just take it off of my insurance all together and driving record, as well. If it goes well, would they mail something to my house? How common is it that hiring an attorney would actually in fact, lower my citation fine and insurance? ...Let's keep in mind- my fine is $501.00...

If you look in past, during 80s Reagan was very contraversial. Now he is seen as the Gipper rather than the guy who was center of tons of protests.

So how will GWB look through looking glass of history.

Authors of our constitution & amendments explained clearly what each measure meant, such as whose rights they would protect, how, why, etc. A vital part of the give and take necessary to reach agreement.

Descriptive speeches to congress were also recorded (written) and saved for posterity.

All can be made readily available to the court.

Supreme Court Justices interpret ONLY the words, as written and are not required to review the explanations that led to ratification. (Remember: legislators must be re-elected, often; Justices, by no say of ppl, stay in for life)

Their decisions are often hotly disputed in chambers, seen as nonsensical by the people and cause strife for years.

Q: Should the Court be required to base their interpretations on what the authors and congress said and wrote in order to reach agreement and ratify?

This is only possible by amendment.

In Favor?
Opposed?

One of the most disturbing epidemics in existence in society at present is the exponential increase of false accusations. Along with this is the fact that false allegations have been used to convict innocent males for crimes they did not commit, even when there is evidence that the accusation made was indeed false. The law system is no longer using solid evidence to determine whether a defendant is innocent or guilty of the crime they are accused of committing. Instead, the system is relying almost solely on the accusation that was made. Most accusations tend to be made by females. The prosecution no longer obtains evidence to support the legitimacy of an accusation; instead, they proceed to trial based on the "word" of the accuser.

I am STUNNED by how many people in this forum think it's just peachy-keen that Bush does whatever the hell he wants, regardless of the severe disapproval of the majority of the US citizens.
Sounds like some of you want a dictator instead of a president.

The frontline program I watched with interviews by top CIA analysts and others about the time line and the interference of the Whitehouse/Vice President was chilling to me.
Take it from your own people and recognize the danger to your way of life - your constitution is under attack and your rights are slipping away at least ask questions of your politicians and media. Let them know freedom starts at home! Good luck and God bless.

Correct me if i'm wrong but - more iraqis have died under US occupation than under Saddam Husein - no weapons of mass destruction were found- iraq is ruined and in civil war and life is still no better than under sadaam husein.

And dont get me wrong - i feel for the amercan sodierd fighting in iraq but why is it such a tragedy that 3000 amercans died while its so trivial that hundreds of thousands of iraqis are dead - do people value american life more than iraqi life?

There are other countries who have had female presidents. Is America a hypocrite nation? Is America as oppressive as the countries you try to liberate??

Seatbelt laws. Helmet laws. Banning trans fats. All these are things that people can choose to do to benefit themselves. They aren't hurting anyone else by not wearing a seat belt or eating trans fats. Why does the government regulate these things? Is it right, or is it just a waste of taxpayer dollars.

(This does not include things like smoking and drug use, which can harm others [health/violent crime])
