"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."

i pretty much understand it, i just dont understant the part about excessive bail. does that mean that a person has a certian number of times that they can be bailed from jail?

Or is it dismissed because it is law based on religion?

I quit my job due to the fact that the director of my department was becoming increasingly hostile verbally, usually involving berating every decision I made, blaming me for things she did wrong, and inventing conversations that never actually took place. The final straw was when the director repeatedly referred to Mexicans as "thieves" (which I am half Mexican) and blacks as lazy. I spoke with her 3 times about this and having gotten no where went to the head of the company.

I explained the issue to the head of the company who told me he had no idea what to do, and referred to the state of the department as "sad" and was "worried about hiring additional employees under " the current director. after another couple weeks I decided that it was time to quit, I spoke with the head of the company again who offered to transfer me to a different department, I declined due to the my degree being in the field I was currently employed.

Unwilling to replace the director, I had to quit.

I was involved in a yamaha rhino rollover accident, resulting in a shatterd leg. The vehicle does not have any form of restraints to keep your legs in the vehicle. They are now offering doors for them, but not when I got injured. I have been trying to find an attorney for 4 months now, with no luck. Please help!!

Do we all have any rights that every human shares? We don't even have the right to life because of abortion and murder. What should every human have the right to?

On Saturday I was driving with a mattress strapped to a trailer with other stuff. The strap broke, the mattress flew into the highway, causing a man to swerve and hit the conceret barrier. The police said his airbag went off and he didn't seem too badly hurt. I saw the car and it wasn't too smashed in. I can't find out what happened to him, apparently. I only have $20,000 worth of coverage. Also, it was my brother's truck, and I hear that the injured party can sue him even though he wasn't driving.
Any advice is helpful. I am very distraught I hurt this person, but also am worried I am going to lose my house.

If I am unable to return to my former job because my doctor put me on a permanent partial disability with restrictions (and my current employer does not have a position for me based on these restrictions).............Then, does my current employer have to make up the difference in pay if I take a job with less money per hour? My lawyer said something about this but I didn't completely understand her.

So I'm in 8th grade. My friend Jamie was in history class today and her book was in her way or something like that so she said, "Jesus Christ! Get out of my way!" or something like that. The teacher gave her an after school detention for it! I mean, seriously, the teacher said it "offended" her. She can't do that, can she?! It's UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Isn't it...?

how cruel and sad it is to see this :( !!!! 3 police cars just took the kids of our neighbour, she has 3 kids, 2 of them were fighting outside and i think someone called and told the cops that they are always outside and fighting, one of them is 6 and one of them is 8 and the cops took the 2 fighting and took they're elder brother that is 11, the mom was crying and yelling, she was begging them to keep them but they just ignored her, they ignored a mom caring for her children, a mom who had raised these children, sent them to schools, and live with them for 6 years and more, they ignored her as if she was some crazy person and took the kids away... And you're telling me that here in the united states and canada we have child care, the poor children were crying for help and the mom fainted in the middle of the streat and they didnt even care!! :(:( How sad, im happy we do not have such cruel people (cops, government) like this back in my country :'( Im not being offensive....

I ordered 100 Motorola Bluetooth headsets form China. Well during delivery through FedEx the clearance delay is do to they believe they are counterfeit. I assume I have lost the products and I do not want them if they are knock offs. I am just worried what else happens. Will it end there or do they come to arrest you? This is the first time this has happened and I am worried. Any information would be great.

I was keeping my .22 repeating rifle at my dad's house... Well, he found it, and got pissed off (he is against these kind of things) and he took it and said that he won't give it back and gave me an anti-gun lecture...

What are the legal issues here... I'm a 20 year old college kid, so, I kind of live there when I'm not at college (I'm the one paying for college by the way, my dad is broke)... can he take it away? I have the right to bear arms, and I have kept the gun responsibly for an entire year...

I'm going to listen to him and sell it, but he says that he does not trust me... actually, he thinks I bought the gun to shoot him - WHICH IS SO DAMN FAR FROM THE TRUTH...

the gun is registered in my name...

the scum at all times?
A simple microchip inserted into the invidual at birth, like they do with dogs, would be much cheaper than a DNA database and I believe would cut crime by over 86%
We now have the technology to track these microchips at all times and I urge the government to introduce this.
Its cheap and effective.

I was just reading an article on Wikipedia titled "Demographics of Atheism" and came across this fact:

"Interestingly, several state constitutions make the protection of persons from religious discrimination conditional on their acknowledgment of the existence of a deity. These state constitutional clauses have not been tested. Additionally, some state constitutions (namely, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and North Carolina ) forbid atheists from holding public office..."

What action can I take to become proactive in fighting against this law?

Where can I find groups that are already proactively fighting against this law?
