We were given the option of ordering a new setting of the same style or choosing a different style. We asked at that time if we could get just return the whole thing considering the problems, but they said we were past their 90 day return policy (which we were only past the 90 days because they had the ring in for repairs). After finding out it would take a month to get the new ring in the same style we decided to choose a new style. We placed the order for the new ring on 9/11/06 ...

I currently reside in Texas and am compelled to seek custody of my daughter, but I know it is an extremely difficult matter in Texas. Her mother is extremely unstable and unfit to offer a suitable environment for my daughter. The most recent example is that she committed an act of assualt and battery by contact on the 16th of December against me. She was cited by the local authorities on this matter and must have it resolved in early January. Although the contact was not terribly painfull, it was unwanted and occured in the company of our one-year old daughter. She has acted violently towards me in the past as well. Her instability is also documented by her issuance of threats to the individual I'm involved with, myself and through my parents as well. These threats involved personal harm and professional harm to our careers. She is extremely bipolar in nature and I believe has been documented with such a disorder. She has threatened suicide on multiple occassions. Do I have a chance?

I am doing research for a debate topic, and the opposition keeps stating that rights can be removed by due process of the law. I am highly skeptical of this, and am looking for a more definitive, unbiased answer.

For reference, the debate is for the leaglization of castration of sex offenders. I am opposed to this, as I believe it is cruel and unusual punishment, protected against by the 8th Amendment. As "All men are created equal," I find it hard to believe that while all are granted rights, some can lose them. As much as I do agree that we need better punishment for sex offenders, I don't believe in allowing our government to rape our rights in the process. Any help or information would be great, even if is contrary to what I think, or a point that I am trying to make.

I'm trying to understand something. If the First Amendment to the Constitution says "...the Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...," with the phrase "make no law" being the operative element, unless that means the Congress is responsible, also as a matter of law, not simple inference, for creating laws to prevent such a respect, why is it the Congress, or even the Supreme Court's, business if religious displays is put on public land? I understand public discomfort, though I'm not sure how compelling that is on legal grounds, but if the Congress didn't make legislation compelling the displays, what exactly is the Constitutional violation in religious displays on public land? Where is it wit regards to government buildings?

Hey everyone, I am doing a court case for my college and I am stuck on finding information about a law. I don't even know if this law even exists. Does anybody know if there is a law stating parental advisory stickers must be posted on Cd's that contain "explicit" lyrics so minors can not purchase them? If so, can you please tell me the name of the law?

Thank you.

There will be no rest on this issue. Simply because a grave injustice is unfolding over a political issue not steeped in the facts. But instead on public paranoia and blood-lust.
When I was i teen in Tampa on my bike, who needs a licence.
Now I have a small business dependant on driving privledges. A business I have worked hard for and created with my own hands, wit and cunning, not daddys money like so many of you do. I have fulfilled all obligations and sanctions imposed by the state of missouri to their satisfaction. Illinios is demanding 500$ and a submission of all details supplied to missouri over a non issue. I used their drivers licence in the offese. This issue is slowly eating away at my progress in life and hampering my abilities to be more sucessful. That is the stone cold result of this single offense two years ago. If thats the price to be paid, then stop the world and let me off. I will not believe this action is right. My patience, and good behavior are wanning.

So many calls for blood. "Dui offenders are a danger and they should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle ever again."
What if we took their licences for good, initiated incentives that would ensure they never operate a motor vehicle?
Take the number of offenders in the U.S. each year as a whole. Take their licence and vehicle. Calculate lost state and federal revenue involved with licenceing and operation of vehicles. Impose the hardship of transportation on families of offenders who will shoulder the load of transportation. Consider those who don't have this option. Think of the demand on public transportation. Think of increased crime as those deficient, suffering supreme loss, turn to criminal behavior to survive. Think long term as someone creative comes up with a way of cheap transport for those infracted souls that is more appealing than ur oil swilling buick. Auto makers will be pleased.

So, if someone in South Africa (it is usually a government official, from the accounts I've read) is accused of a crime, whose choice is it to try the case in a traditional court (instead of a regular court). I ask because in every news article I have read, the traditional courts only fine the guy 4 or 5 cows. For someone that has embezzeled a lot of money (or committed bigamy - possibly legal?), this seems a little low. Anyone know?
