What law would you like to change?

Question

Either one you don't like, or one you would like to have....

Answer 1

The laws on the right to perform abortions. It is downright MURDER!!!! Peeople say it is JUST a fetus, but it is a real human being who doesn't have the ability to fight for it's life. Those who say that "it is my body" need to realise that the baby isn't "your" body, it even has a totally different bloodstream. If others new the ways babies are aborted, they would think again. I think the method I hate the most is the hysterotomy (Doctors perform a C-section type procedure where the baby is born and then put aside to die). A mother can abort her child up to a day before it is due. There are accounts of nurses who heard the baby's screaming and crying , but had to leave it there to die. The D and E method is where the doctor's dismember the baby and suck it out of the womb. There is yet another method where they poisen the child, then one where the actually cut them into pieces and sucked out of the womb. The D and x method, a recent one, is one where they crush the baby's skull. Those who think they have no choice are wrong. Adoption is a great choice, those childless parents who would love to have a child.

Answer 2

Old laws to change:
Legalize & tax marijuana
Have just 1 set of vehicle insurance & tag law (not 50 damn laws where anyone from another state can total your car & be uninsured 'cause it's ok over there. And emission laws should be for the whole USA. And advolorum tax should be for all USA to prevent low rent cheaters from living & working HERE but buying tags for cheap in old home state!)

New law:
Married folks would be legally able to access ANYTHING of the other one. No party gets privacy of bank info, credit, medical info, etc. And the penalty for violating this new law (if 1 secret is discovered) is DEATH BY HANGING.

Answer 3

Repeal and replace the 14th Amendment. Section 1 of the 14th has three consecutive clauses that are vague and have been misused and abused by the Courts so much that it makes me want to stay away from the ballot box for the rest of my life.

Constitutional law ought to constitute a set of rules so that government (the level of government being commanded) can know what it can or cannot do. Constitutional law ought to "provide guidance and discipline for the legislature, which is entitled to know what kind of laws it may pass," and it ought to "mark the limit of [the Court's] authority." (From Romer v. Evans, 1996; morally correct rhetoric but completely hypocritical in reality.)

Declare that the 14th is repealed (we obviously don't need the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sections of it any more) and is replaced with more clearly stated rules for the states to obey.

In place of the Privileges and Immunities Clause, say that states must obey all provisions of the Bill of Rights except for the 2nd, 7th, and 9th amendments, and the Grand Jury Clause of the 5th.

Clarify that the Due Process Clause means exactly what it literally says and that, as Alexander Hamilton once said, it can never be applied to an act of the legislature (or voters). The Clause guarantees fair, standard PROCEDURES, not laws which judges deem acceptable.

Clarify that the Equal Protection Clause means only one thing: RACIAL equality. Not gender, not sexual orientation, not aliens, not equality for persons born out of wedlock, etc., etc.

The Supreme Court has been at its worst when: 1) it steals Presidential elections, 2) it enforces "unenumerated rights," and 3) picks out "minorities" other than racial minorites for "heightened protection."

"The current state of equal protection and fundamental rights is a travesty. The Court has drifted between different [clauses of the 14th] in deriving these rights as if they were so many coat hooks for the Court to use which-ever one is convenient. The various standards set out by the Court for deriving these rights are so vague as to be virtually useless. ... [T]he Fourteenth Amendment remains a hodgepodge of underdeveloped ideas." -- Evan Gerstmann, "Same-Sex Marriage and the Constitution," (2003) Cambridge University Press, pp 209-210.

And this quote bears repeating, too:

"Each one of us must in the end choose for himself how far he would like to leave our collective fate to the wayward vagaries of popular assemblies. No one can fail to recognize the perils to which the last forty years have exposed such governments. ... For myself, it would be most irksome to be ruled by a bevy of Platonic Guardians, even if I knew how to choose them, which I assuredly do not. If they were in charge, I should miss the stimulus of living in a society where I have, at least theoretically, some part in the direction of public affairs. Of course I know how illusory would be the belief that my vote determined anything; but nevertheless when I go to the polls I have a satisfaction in the sense that we are all engaged in a common venture."

The U.S. Supreme Court is behaving like a bevy of Platonic Guardians. They steal elections and flush the people's moral values down the toilet. They have robbed from me the reason for voting -- that "satisafaction ... that we are all engaged in a common venture."

Answer 4

We should create a Constitutional amendment that states:

"No law may be passed that is more than seven sentences long, or that exceeds a maximum limit of 500 words."

This would be the ultimate law because it would eliminate all those snake lawers who try to pull a fast one on congress and the public by sneaking one devious sentence into a law of 10,000 pages.

That's all we would need.

Answer 5

We have become so burdened by laws, many catering to special events or interests, many out of date and useless, what I want t see is no new law passed until at least one outdated law or more is deleted.
The staggering number of useless laws serves only one purpose, to fatten the lawyers.

Answer 6

My fiance, almost 22, and I, almost 15 would like to get married ASAP without parental consent. Here in Texas, we can't legally do that because I am "underage" or a "minor". Love knows no age! Why can't people understand that? I want to get married. As in yesterday. What's standing in my way?

Answer 7

The Corporate tax laws.Get rid of those tax shelters so the tax burden would be taken off the shoulders of the middle class.

Answer 8

I would repeal the amendment that prevents the President from serving more than two terms...we really need Clinton back!

Answer 9

If they would legalize weed .... Mexico's poverty rate would drop, and the immigration problem would decrease!

Answer 10

I'd like to smoke wherever I darn well please, since this is a "free" country after all, dadgumit!
