I was convicted of simple possession charge of marijuana when I was 15 but my license was suspended because of it and now I'm 18 and it's on my driving record. Here in SC your juvenile record is confidential but it's still on my driving record. Can I get rid of it off my driving record? If I was to go to college would I have to tell them I have a criminal record just because of my driving record or are those two different things?

lets see if they well fight there law or if they well do has Pete Wilson did.

A federal judge on Thursday struck down the city of Hazleton’s tough crackdown on illegal immigrants, ruling unconstitutional a law that has been emulated by towns and cities around the nation.
The Illegal Immigration Relief Act sought to impose fines on landlords who rent to illegal immigrants and deny business permits to companies that give them jobs. Another measure would have required tenants to register with City Hall and pay for a rental permit.
It was pushed by Hazleton’s Republican mayor last summer after two illegal immigrants were charged in a fatal shooting…
More than 90 communities across the U.S., frustrated by the Congressional impasse on dealing with illegal immigrants, have considered or approved measures similar to Hazleton’s. U.S. District Judge James Munley’s ruling does not affect those measures.

Today, my grandma said she didn't believe in the death penality. I thought I was raised to respect the law and the cops and believe if people are found guilty have to take their punishment. Suddenly, the grandma I raised my whole life spouts some liberal let-him-live milarkey. Where do they get this stuff? How do they teach us right from wrong but want to turn around and believe police are corrupt and jails are full of "millions" of innocent men on death row. She actually said that! "Millions" of people have been falsely accused and exicuted! I doubt there have even been "Millions" of people exicuted! I would have heard about it!

2 years ago I invested $10k with someone who was starting a business in Mexico and was promising great returns. I paid by an official check issued by Wells Fargo. The business was opened in Mexico but I havent heard from that person in 2 years, after trying every possible way of contact. I have a notarized contract and the persons name and SSN. As of now, neither I or the family of the person I invested with knows where hes at. What are my best options at this point?

I am a junior in college, and have a question regarding an argument/research paper i need to write. My topic is: Should mandatory and/or voluntary prayer be permitted in public schools? My possible thesis statement is: Private voluntary prayer should be allowed in public schools.

WHAT are some points/arguments I could make in the paper about this topic? One I have so far is common misconceptions about school prayer, and I was going to talk about the legal aspect of it too. I need quite a few things to talk about because this paper needs to be at least 8 pages. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Case in point, Barry Bonds's steroid abuse (BALCO screwed him over) and Michael Vick's dog fighting ring (with video footage of the events). I don't see why some people say one's "innocent until proven guilty" when there's much evidence that proves them to be guilty without a doubt. I mean, how can a judge be dumb enough to see amounts of evidence against a defendant and let him go? Sure the system has its flaws, but it should get it right once and a while!

And don't get me started on that one NBA ref who bet on games!

My landlord put a ramp over my back stairs with a sign that says "NO TRESPASSING- for wheel chairs only" and said that no one could use the back stairs except for the man in the house who is in a wheel chair. However, before that we always used to use the back door. The back door (which we can no longer use) and the front door are the only ways in and out of the house. I live in Massachusetts and I always thought that it was a law that there has to be 2 ways to exit the building incase of a fire. Is this true? Is it illegal for her to stop the use of the back door?

I work in a retail establishment in north carolina. I am a sales person, my question is can I be fired for not selling. Say I sell an item and it has an extended warranty on it, i've been told I can be fired if I don't get the extended warranty sold, and the only reason I don't get the extended warranty sold is because its optional to the customer and the customer doesn't want it. Is it legal to fire me because I can't make the customer buy this extra stuff? Thats like saying you're fired for only selling 2 dollars today, when the only customer in the store the whole day bought the 2 dollar item. So, Is it illegal to fire me for somethign I can't control?

Bill Clinton committed perjury. There is no doubt of this and conservatives went into hang em high mode. Myself included because I felt he had violated the public trust. Now we have similar situations with both Gonzales and Libby. Libby was convicted and Gonzales probably will be also if a Special Prosecutor is appointed and now conservatives appear to be in total defense mode.
The question is do you believe in equal justice for all or not. And don't talk to me about how this is all political because so was the Clinton impeachment.
