If one were to create a surname for themselves from the top of their head but it did not at exist anywhere, would it be illegal? This is assuming that they would use other legal procedures to change their last name.

I am wishing to file a restraining order against someone who abused me. I would like to know what "rules n regulations" are for both parties. Also how to go about getting one. This guy likes to hang out outside my apartment complex to terrify me and has threatened my life more than once. My complex is huge and I'm not sure if that would keep him away. I just want hin out of my life and leave me alone!

I oppose same-sex marriage, but can we constitutionally ban it?

Our founder would have know what homosexuals were, I am sure.

But do think they meant to put it provisions for their rights in the constitution?

I want to do a direct presentment before the Grand Jury to have a case brought to Criminal Court since the General Sessions court did not bind a case over to the Criminal Court after a preliminary hearing. The judge in GS Court said I could do a direct presentment to the Grand Jury, but the DA does not like me and told me I am not going to do it--period. If it is my right to do it then I want to do it, even if the DA will motion to dismiss the charge after the Grand Jury gives a True Bill. I know the DA is in charge of the legal community in the District, but I think there is some distance between his job and what the Grand Jury does as they work independantly from the DA. What do you think? Can a DA forbid someone from their day in court by telling them that they will not get an appointment to present a case before the Grand Jury? I want justice against the criminal and now I want justice from this clown of a DA. What do I do?

I am appalled at the disregard for human life, people who say that it is not insane, and make comments about not wanting deformed or unwanted children, so, what is the world suggesting concerning abortion? why stop there? why not 1 month old, 6 months old? how about a year? 5 years? 10 years? it's a pandora's box that should not be opened, I find an interesting comparison to the 1936 german supreme court ruling that a jew was not a person, to the Roe V wade ruling that in effect an unborn child is not a person, is this the road we wish to travel. secular people will say that you cannot legislate morality, well I ask, Is Murder against ther law? of course it is, well then, you just legislated morality, the only difference is who's morality will you legislate? Also, secular people will always take these words out of context "judge not lest ye be judged" and always take it out of context.

I am renting a house to someone. They were supposed to be out of the house by March 1. It is now March 10 and they still have stuff to move off the back porch. They keep telling me they are going to get the stuff off the porch but they dont. Can I throw the stuff away? Also, can I charge them rent because I can't show the place so I am losing money daily. What can I do legally?

Thanks,
Lauren

Designer pets, selective abortion to have designer babies, scheduled C-sections so that birth does not interfer with plans, or "ruin" a woman's body. Where will the insanity end?

Charges Possible After Patriot Act Audit
By LARA JAKES JORDAN
AP
WASHINGTON (March 9) - The nation's top two law enforcement officials acknowledged Friday the FBI broke the law to secretly pry out personal information about Americans. They apologized and vowed to prevent further illegal intrusions.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales left open the possibility of pursuing criminal charges against FBI agents or lawyers who improperly used the USA Patriot Act in pursuit of suspected terrorists and spies.

The FBI's transgressions were spelled out in a damning 126-page audit by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine. He found that agents sometimes demanded personal data on people without official authorization, and in other cases improperly obtained telephone records in non-emergency circumstances.

"We have some work to do to reassure members of Congress and the American people that we are serious about being responsible in the exercise of these authorities," he said.

Under the Patriot Act, the national security letters give the FBI authority to demand that telephone companies, Internet service providers, banks, credit bureaus and other businesses produce personal records about their customers or subscribers. About three-fourths of the letters issued between 2003 and 2005 involved counterterror cases, with the rest for espionage investigations, the audit reported.

Shoddy record-keeping and human error were to blame for the bulk of the problems, said Justice auditors, who were careful to note they found no indication of criminal misconduct.

I ALREADY TYPED THIS ONCE, I'M JUST EDITING IT...HOW LONG WOULD THIS PERSON GO TO JAIL?

What would the consequences be for hiding someone in your house that has a warrant out for their arrest?

More specificially, a friend of mine in Texas is hiding someone who had their probation revoked. She is worried about what would happen to her if the police found out he/she was living w/her.

I'm sure there's probably different consequences depending on what crime you've commited, but is there a website someone can reference me to? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I think someone who gets more than 1 DUI definitely has a problem. If so, I think to be sentenced to a rehab clinic would be far more suitable then to do community service, or just a few days in the county jails. They need to get rid of the source of the problem. Drinking. Do you agree?

If 17 is legal, is it moral? My daughter is 16 and a Jr. in high school. I could not consider her having a relationship with someone in their 20's next year. I am in a dilemma with a friend about if the law says it's okay, is it really ok. If the girl is 17 and the man is 26, is it moral form the two of them to have a sexual relationship?

I say yes. It is no more a gateway drug than alcohol is. The only reasons it is illegal is the gov't cannot effectively tax production and consumption and the U.S. puts pressure on the CDN gov't to keep it illiegal.
Any thoughts?

Yesterday I was on the golf course. While walking, I tripped over a rock, fell down and scraped my knee. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have tripped except for the sweat in my eyes kept me from seeing where I was going. I wasn't sweating because it's was 73 degrees and I was walking the golf course. No, I'm sure I was sweating because of global warming. Because 15 years ago, I didn't sweat until at least mid-June.

So, is this George W. Bush's fault that I was sweating? And isn't there some government program that should pay for my round of golf, a sweat band and some new golf pants(the old one have a hole in the knee now) since I was injured do to no fault of my own (except for the fact that I didn't stop and wipe the sweat out of my eyes)?

I should be do something for pain and suffering too. I might not ever be able to work again. That knee could be ruined for life. Don't I deserve a government pension and to stay out here on the golf course instead of working?

I heard the government is starting to say lethal injection is cruel and unusual? I think we should go back to hanging, we would have less crime if punishments would be carried out faster also.
What is your opinion? What type of execution should we have?
Should it be carried out faster?

Someone recently posted false & damaging statements about me on a forum. I found out when I registered to be a member of said forum. I asked to have the statements removed but the person who owns the forum said the forum was private and not viewable to public without registration. She also said I violated her privacy by viewing what she was saying about me. The owner of the site was the one making the false statements about me. Is this person right? Am I wrong to be upset?
