Law & Ethics - March 2007

Do advocates know that by doing so would be a direct affront to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 9th commandments?

In placing the commandments one acknowledges the supreme law of God over any other - by placing them in a courtroom of MAN is a slap in the face of God.

The Court of Man is false idolatry of law other than God's.

How can advocates of placement of the Commandments in the courts possibly call themselves advocates of God's law when admittance of other is an affront to God and the very Commandments?

Under Title 1 Chapter 27 of the State of Maine Revised Statutes you will find the following statute: Offensive Name means a name of a place that includes the designation "squaw." As a result of this legislation, Big Squaw Mountain is now known as Big Moose Mountain.

My husband had a misdemeanor back in 2001. He did not complete all of the requirements of probation and therefore served out the rest of the time in jail. Is it still possible to get this record sealed or expunged?

Even if the rat b*stards do eventually get convicted...and not have their case thrown out on a technicality...they spend their time in a warm comfy prison with TV, books, food, recreation, law libraries, gymnasium, college, shop class, conjugal visits, internet, medical care, etc...

What happened to punishment and the rights of the VICTIMS?

Say the landlord has know for at least 2 years that your neihbors are extremly filthy and have now infested your apartment with bugs like roaches, fleas, and specifically bed bugs. Shouldn't they ethically and out of good consience compensate you for the pain and inconvience of their tenants? Possibly by reducing the rent for a few months until the problems have been fixed and/or the people are evicted.

In Texas, is a will considered to be legal if the person simply types his wishes and signs it, maybe even having a notary to sign it also, then keeps it in his files at home? This person owns no home, property, or anything of value except his vehicle and computer, and has no or very little savings, and a small life insurance policy. He wants to leave everything to his common law wife with the assurance that his kids (who never return his calls or never visit in years) do not try to take the insurance money from his "wife".

Do you think the government should be able to tell you if you are allowed to have an abortion or not? Do you think that South Carolina should force women to look at pictures of the fetus before having this procedure done?

What can be done to stop unwanted pregnancies (I know the obvious answer) or at least reduce the numbers.

If these women are being intimidated into having these babies, who will take care of them? Would it be better to allow them to have abortions rather then to allow them to suffer with parents who don't love them or can't take care of them? Or to remain in an orphanage? Not all of them will be adopted.

It's sad either way. I'm interested in intelligent thought provoking conversation and answers to think about. Not pictures of abortions or nasty/uneducated comments.

Thanks

I hired an unlicensed contractor to build 4 yard gates, install 3 bedroom doors, install two lights, hang up blinds, and install baseboards and trim. I paid him and he hasnt completed all the jobs or to my satisfaction. The gates open outwards and the latch is on the outside of the yard, he didnt put the bedroom door handles back on, and he didnt hang up the blinds. What are my options? (and please dont say i should have waited till the job was done because I know it was a mistake.)

I am a teacher, who has recently experienced identity theft. I wrote a check for $500 to a company (not a collection agency) in Montana. (I live in South Dakota.) It bounced. Although I have every intention of rectifying the situation, the company called me at work today and threatened that, if this isn't taken care "right away", they will have the Sheriff "drag me out of my classroom in front of my students" and "extradite me to Montana." I understand that I owe them the money (and am in the wrong) but this threat seemed inappropriate to me. It seemed like a deliberate tactic designed to intimidate (especially after I already admitted I owed them the money). What should I do? I was thinking of faxing them a letter explaining the situation, establishing payment terms, and telling them to cease making threats. Advice would be appreciated, especially with specific legal information I can use to help avoid anymore threats.

I choose not to say the Pledge for my own reasons, but the teachers at my high school have us stand for the pledge every morning. If I am not going to say the pledge and will continue to do my work while the rest of my class says it, then standing up only makes doing my work more difficult. I have issues with the pledge and public school is required, so it would seem to me that they cannot also require us to stand for the pledge as well, if that makes sense.Would it be within my rights to refuse to stand?

Please understand that this is really just out of curiosity, I do realize that trying to get away with not standing is not worth the trouble. And please, I do not need to have anyone tell me why I should say the pledge- I am a loyal American and a Christian, so neither of those is my reasoning behind not saying it.

I heard the only way a father can stop his ex from relocating with their child is to sue for custody. My fiance broke the news to her daughter's father yesterday about our plans to move and he said he was going to court to have the move blocked. It's a tough situation for everybody involved, and I'm starting to feel like it would be best if I took myself out of the picture. First, I just wanted to see how we can prepare for this situation.

In summary, as I understand it, a few students displayed a "bong hits for jesus" sign across from school property. He was suspended for it, under because the principal said it was promoting drug use. Do you think it's free speech or subject to the school's jurisdiction? Why or why not?

This is in the context of the congressional inquiry into the firing of federal prosecutors. Bush officials want to testify "not under oath." What does that mean? Surely it doesn't mean that they can lie? I am assuming there is a technical definition.
