Isn't that aganist the fifth amendment not to be tried twice 4 the same crime?? PLZ HELP!!!

The Mexico to Canada superhighway is planned to take goods shipped from China landing in Mexican ports then driven by Mexican truck drivers through the US heartland - Kansas City - to Canada. This will hurt our port workers, truck drivers and middle class. The superhighway will belong to Mexico and we will have to pay them tolls to drive on it!

Gulliani's law firm has been instrumental in forcing people in Texas and Oklahoma to "sell" land for this project. Surely we do NOT want another globalist President!

We can stop it by refusing to buy ANYTHING and EVERYTHING made in China and letting stores and companies know that we will NOT purchase any China made products. If there are no customers for China made products, there will be no reason to construct the NAFTA Superhighway.

Does anyone have any other ideas for Americans to band together and stop what many of our politicians do not have the honor or ethics to do - and preserve our great country's sovergnity?

I am a Dad who went to my sons house to pick him up for my weekend visit. The step dad met me at the door asked me why I was here and pushed me, started fighting me and then commanded his dog to attack me . the police were called and sent me to the hospital with severe injuries to my legs. The police charged me with trespassing but I have done nothing wrong except go to pick up my son. Can anyone help me and do I have a case. This was in Mesquite TX and the dog was reported and pick up by animal control.

Does any one know any court cases that involved the legal use medical marijuana. I'm looking for a court case which was decided that medical marijuana can be legally smoked, or any court cases which support the use of medical marijuana. I've been searching for hours, but i can;t seem to find any.

Thanks

, you could then claim it as your own and copywrite the new intellectual property as your own?

to what extent is this true, and what are the specifics?

thank you so much!

My brother is disabled due to a brain tumor that blew up in the lower middle part of his brain. My mother was his primary care giver. She died. A few months later, my Dad married a woman who has nearly cleaned him out financially. Transferred family property out of state, converted property to cash placed in out of state banks. She has moved my Dad out of the state, away from his family and friends, he is 75+, was in good health, now in failing health due to alcoholism. She intercepts all of his phone calls, and all of his mail, pours him another drink. The one time that we visited for Christmas, she accused my sister, me, and our children of stealing a diamond ring, which turned up after we left-- in her bath robe pocket. No apology ever offered. She makes us so uncomfortable that we don't want to visit. She fights with everyone. I am willing to walk away, but I am wondering if there is anyway to protect my brother's financial future, my mom would have wanted it.

It seems like citizens have no recourse and cops always go free.

I ask this question because a lot of law abiding citizens are being threatened, framed, assaulted or killed while being detained and arrested by the police?

My roommate is my best friend. I've known him for years. But I recently discovered what I think are images on his comupter of children who are standing there naked. There were 4 images and they look like nudist photos. I didn't see any videos. I don't know what to do. Should I talk to him? Should I suggest I move out? I'm not going to turn him in, this is my childhood friend. What should I do?

three teens damaged personal property and the total amount of the damaged is divided equally between all three teens. Two of the three are going to detention homes leaving the third out on probation. The third wanted to pay his total amount of restitution but the court informed him that if he did he would then have to pay the restitution for the other two boys....They explained it would become a civil suit...can someone explain that to me? Why if one child paid his share can he made to pay the others share?

The state says that by doing so would improve morality in the state. I say it's none of their business and personally know of several wives that use these devices, because they have husbands that travel during the week and therefore promotes abstention from extramarital affairs.

What are your thoughts?

At my work they have implemented a new rule stating that if anyone has any unresolved bills at the end of their shift that these are your responsibility to take care of. We've never had a huge problem with this, it's just that a couple weeks ago a table left with a $130 bill and now that waitress is supposed to pay for it. They simply forgot to fill out their sheet. I work in a resort restaurant so people can simply write down their room number, tip, sign and then leave. In my opinion, we cannot control what people do. We tell them that if they are room charging that we will need to see their card but even then people just write it down and leave. Are there any laws on this that I can bring to my employer's attention? I think it is completely unfair when we are working for them and making them sooo much more money than we ever bring in. Thanks so much for your help!

I had an accident on the job. I am a disabled person and I was doing a task that is not one of the major responsibilities listed on my job description. I think they should make an accommodation due to my disability. Also, they are saying I am a risk to others if they continue to employ me. I am not the only person with a disability at our place of employment. I think their argument is based on ignorance and fear and am prepared to take legal action if they do fire me. What do you think? Can they fire me or not?

I'm assuming this would be ethically wrong idf not illegal. I can understand that you may have a set time for a lunch break. However, if my boss wants all the employees to attend a certain event during their break, are they allowed to do this?

I live on the border of two towns (the town line actually runs right through the middle of my home). I pay 50% of my taxes to one town..and 50% to the other. Last week we had a fire in the kitchen. Called 911...they connected me with town 1. Town 1 claims not their juristiction...told me to call town 2. Called town 2...they told me not their juristiction as well...and to call town 1.

All of this went on for about 30 minutes until I finally got one of the towns to show up...meanwhile my kitchen is burning down. Lost most of my kitchen and am considering suiing or at least letting my homeowners insurance know of the events. Any opinions?

so yesterday evening while shopping with my dad [he was in another section of macy's] i shoplifted 5 items including 2 shirts and a couple bras. the total of my shoplifting came out to $225.50. i was shaking when they took me in, i've never shoplifted clothes before.. always little things, but the reason why i did it was because i didn't have money with me on this day. i would have purchased the items if i did have money. they found a tiny scissor in my bag, but that was just there to cut my nails and sh*t, i used that to cut the tags off [since it was already there]. thats what they used as "proof"

my dad had to pay $500 in civil penalties and then i was taken to the police precinct where i was ultimately fingerprinted, taken pictures of, and kept in a cell for 2 hours. i got out on a DAT since my record is completely clean. i still have to appear in court in november though.

i understand what i did was wrong, i'm traumatized to ever do it again.

My grandfather had a small life policy and the check was sent to me as the executor. Does this benefit have to be used to pay off debt even though it is not enough to do so? Or can it be distributed to the beneficiaries named in the will?

You see, here's how it went:

I was walking down the street, where I came across an old man who was with this dieing dog as it had been struck by a car.

No one in the neighborhood wanted to help, as it was only the old man on the street with the dog. The old man did not know English, but coincidentally was Vietnamese just as I am. I know a bit, but it was just enough for me to communicate with him.

The old man did not have a phone in his home, nor did i have a cel phone to call for help. The neighborhood had shut its door & did not want to help.

My house was a few blocks away, which I could of ran to call 4 help, but the dog was severely dieing and needed company.

Should I have left? Or stayed?

If I had left, the dog could die. If I stayed, I could of got help.

The dog was in bad condition, the old man said that he has been with this dog for quite some time on the street when he found it, and no one bothered to help.

We were just served lawsuit paperwork stating that an excavating company didn't get paid $114000 when all the homes in our development were being built. This occurred before we purchased the home. They are requesting to be paid this amount and a mechanic's lien to be placed on all of the properties.

We purchased title insurance at closing. Will this protect us from this mess? Can a mechanic's lien still be placed on our home with title insurance? We are so worried that we will have to come up with this money for nothing that we had done.
