I've found over 94 treaties that the Native Americans signed with the government from 1800-1824, as well as several supreme court rulings and ambiguous state and federal laws that could be used to justify the "Removal Act." For the most part, it simply seems like the government wanted the land and found loophole after loophole to get what it wanted. It's easy to sympathize with the Native Americans but much harder to understand how the government found ways to "legalize" this wholesale removal thing.

She has been married for four months and her husband just decided that he wants a divorce. He told her she needed to leave and wouldn't even let her back in when she came back to get her son's belongings for the night. What are her rights in the state of Indiana? How should she proceed from here? Should she consider hiring a lawyer? They don't have kids together. He is leaving her with nothing. She is a stay-at-home mom. All of this has come as a shock to her because they had not been arguing and he won't give her a reason why he wants the divorce. Please help by answering my question.

Most of the theaters in this country require an ID with at least 18 years of age for the purchase and viewing of an R-rated film, unless you're accompanied by an adult. It's about the same with video games now. Obviously, these business are under pressure by their trade organizations, but I think the government is mainly to blame (cough, Joe Lieberman, cough). Our communist government essentially has control over these industries. Isn't there something AWFULLY WRONG with that? Whether or not a child wants to see SAW III should be up to the child and his parents/guardians, not politicians. Besides, entertainment doesn't cause violence, people do. What do you think?

There was recently a tragic fire in New York City; I think 8 or 9 died as a result and this number could go up.

In the news, they stated "Twenty-two people from the West African nation lived in a wooden house that had been split into two apartments in the Bronx section of New York."

They had a photo and it was a three story row house type structure.

My question is: How many people can legally live in one house? What regulates this....housing authority? fire code?

Florida (the state that has the most rigid sex offender laws) put a new law on the table. This new law states that a sex offender who has a child (THEIR OWN BIOLOGICAL CHILD) - can NOT change their child’s diaper without somebody from ‘children and family services’ or somebody from law enforcement in the same room. If they are caught changing their child’s diaper without supervision, they will be arrested on a 3rd degree felony.

SO… if it is 9:00 at night, and a child’s diaper needs to be changed – they FIRST have to call some form of legal supervision. THEN… they have to WAIT until supervision arrives. THEN… and ONLY THEN can they change the diaper.

The law also states that if it is an emergency, they can rush the child to a nearby hospital to change the diaper – BUT they have to go to the nearest precinct and fill out paperwork right after the ‘incident’.

My daughter is now almost 2 months old, and she was conceived from rape by my ex boyfriend. I never reported it, however I do have emails where he admits to doing so. He moved states away, but when I had my daughter he moved back. I have allowed him to see her, but he is getting very creepy. He calls several times a day, randomly shows up at my house, is outside my house and doesn't even tell me... and he tells people we are together even though we aren't. He is completely obsessed. When I was still pregnant he threatened to kill me and kidnap my child, I have a text message to prove that. He was also physically abusive in our relationship, and I have emails to prove that as well. He also has been seeing a counselor whom he has told all of those things to.
He is not on her birth certificate And I don't want him around her anymore... Is it possible to get full custody of her, and to get a restraining order?
Thanks for your help.

I want to force a company to give me all records of the recorded calls from when I have phoned them - if they exist.

How can I do this? I was thinking of usign the Data Protection Act 1998 Subject Access Request - would this work?

DO I have to give times and dates of when I called them or can I just ask for all recordings they have of me?

thanks

What about the border guards that were doing their jobs? What kind of hypocritical goverment/administration is this? We pardon drug dealers and guilty "white collar criminal" but not innocent hard working Americans who are being scapegoated for political gain? Whatever happened to "release 1000 criminals to save an innocent man" (paraphrased)? Is there any justice anymore?
