Whats your thoughts on Habeus Corpus being suspended in US by 60 Senators?

60 senators betrayed you (it was 61, but Sen. Menendez changed his vote). They voted against an amendment to the Defense Authorization act, the indefinite suspension of Habeas Corpus. We are now officially a police state. Read the Amendment provision here. The house version of the bill is available here, 920 pages. Senate text is available here and a PDF of the full senate bill is available here, 682 pages. The amendment to the Defense Authorization act (the Udall amendment) would have removed some of the more draconian measures of the bill. To clear up some of the confusion, Sen. Udall was the good guy here. We need to remember that the text of the bill would have provided issues for people who had not been legally found guilty (no due process), just suspected. If we look back at our recent history, we can see similar legislation being misused to silence political dissidents. Are you calling for the Federal Reserve to be abolished? Are you a John Bircher? Like the Tea Party better than Occupy or vice versa? Who knows how it can be misused. Not trying to be more alarmist than needed, but we do need to remain vigilant. Ignore your rights, and they will go away.

What if being racist was illegal?

The 14th amendment says you cant discriminate(just to be blunt).But yet the 1st protects bigoted remarks? I saw on this one vid where this one person said in his country (brazil) it is illegal to spout out racist stuff,but plenty of people said, while they dont agree with it and that it is wrong it is wrong for it to be illegal. Iam wondering, then what is wrong with it being illegal? I mean it is a harmful concept that is all about stiffing the freedom of others isnt it? Just because it is a belief it should be respected? Even when it is harmful? NOTE: iam not talking about having the belief, iam talking about blurting it around. So what iam basically asking is if it was would you have a problem? I... well not really. @jaker: oops my bad, thanks for the correction
Answer: The 1st amendment is a relative law, it is not absolute law, meaning that you can say whatever you want, but their are still consequences to your acts. Say if you were in a movie theater and you suddenly yelled out fire when there was none, because everyone would run out of the theater and it's more than possible that people would be hurt or die running out. You would go to jail for that. What I'm trying to say is you can say what ever you want, but you can still get in trouble for it. With discrimination it's very washy, because what is mean and hateful to one person is not all ways to another. You may think that it's common sense, but it's not common at all. A lot of the time some people may not know that they are being that way, a lot people will stop if you ask them to. Ask is the key word, you have to be nice about, and you can't tell them to. It's unrealistic to make a law to not stop people from doing and saying discriminatory things, because to everyone what it is, is different and so is it's meaning. BTW, racist means the study of race, it's a term that is used incorrectly a lot. The only correct term is discrimination.

How samrt is the Left?

Newsletter March 25, 2007 Vol 2 Issue 6 The Other White Meat When President Bush asked for an additional 22,000 troops to compliment the forces in Iraq so we can hopefully end the conflict and put this war to bed, Congress obliged. However, now that the President is asking for $92 billion in emergency spending because the previous funds will run out next month, Congress in its irresponsible wisdom has delivered a car without a gas tank. In real terms, you cant drive a car without gas and you cant fight a war without the tools needed to get the job done, especially if you are pulling a trailer full of pork. To be perfectly blunt, most of the Democrats are against the war. It does not take a brain surgeon to realize that fact. So why waste the taxpayer?s time and money to push through a useless bill that everyone knows will be vetoed anyway. Okay all of you folks who are sitting on the left side of the aisle we heard you, we got your message. We are not as stupid as you believe we are. There are people out there that want to cut off our heads. So stop playing games and get the job done right. Get back to work and do the job you were elected to do; that is to uphold the constitution and protect the people of the United States. Tacking on all sorts of useless amendments is totally counterproductive. You were elected to represent the people not try to bribe your colleagues with all sorts of goodies so they will vote in your favor. Let us examine what bribes they have tried to use. The President asked for an additional $92 billion in emergency spending. He wanted $72 billion to fund the war and $20 billion in additional Hurricane Katrina relief. Knowing that placing a timetable on the bill by itself wouldnt allow it to fly so they tacked on all kinds of pork. Some of these amendments are so ridiculous that they would insult the intelligence of a two-year-old child. They added over $24 billion that has me scratching my head. Here are just a few amendments they added on: $4 billion in additional nationwide agricultural disaster assistance. The USDA did not request the funds. Even though farm income in 2005 was in excess of $72 billion, a record high, they added an additional $4 billion, which would not be used in areas that were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Sounds like another rainy day fund, only rain is not in the forecast. $700 million to reroute a railroad line so it can make room for a private development of additional casinos along the Gulf Coast. That line is now fully functional after it was repaired at a cost of $300 million after being damaged by Hurricane Katrina. CSX is not excited about moving their tracks they rebuilt it as fast as possible to meet their customers needs because it was a critical artery. There is nothing wrong with the existing line. Dont bet on this one. $594 million in additional highway funding. This is in addition to the $286 billion that was passed last year. Only this money has nothing to do with Katrina or Iraq. It would be used for the emergency relief highway backlog across the country. The only project specifically mentioned in the committees report is the Kuhio Highway in Hawaii, which is, located over 4,000 miles away from the Gulf Coast. Sounds like another bridge to nowhere. $21 million is the amount President Bush originally wanted to restore fishery resources in the Gulf region as assistance to the seafood industry that was hard hit by Katrina. The House eliminated this portion of the bill. However, the Senate reinstated it and raised the stakes to over $1.1 billion. This is well beyond the already millions that were spent to repair and replace damaged boats and docks. Smells a little fishy to me. You are going to love this one! $3.8 billion to prepare for a potential bird flu epidemic like the last one. You know the last one that is the one where we have 500-million vaccines ready to go. The current vaccine is not scheduled to expire for at least two- years. So now, they want us to throw it all away and start over. Sounds like a bird brained idea to me. $74 million for the peanut farmers to store their crops. There is a peanut quota in the U.S. This holds down the supply and increases the price. So now, they want to hand the peanut farmers our hard- earned tax dollars to buy them storage units. I wonder if they will be located in Plains, Georgia. This sounds like a nutty idea. $400 million to help the timber industry in Oregon. This industry was originally hurt when Congress shut down harvesting the Northern timberlands to protect the Spotted Owl from being displaced. However, they have no problem displacing you and me through eminent domain if they needed our houses for a municipal parking lot. By the way, the Northern Spotted Owl originated in Mexico, they are probably here illegally. $400 million for the low-income energy assistance program. The Democrats have been blocking our efforts to drill our own oil resources. They also dont want us to increase nuclear power. So what are they going to do with the $400 million? Send me low energy light bulbs. Here is the real problem. According to the Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates the funding of the war runs out on April 15, 2007. If Congress does not act immediately, on April 15 there will be no funds available to protect our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and friends who are fighting to keep America safe. Congress will be on Spring Break when that happens. They will be romping on the sands of Palm Beach and Santa Monica while our troops are romping on the sands of Baghdad. They will be sipping champagne and Rum Punch while our troops will be wondering where their next meal is coming from because the funds ran out. This is not the first time pork was added to an emergency spending bill. During the last go around, they tacked on a $1 million price tag for a telescope to be used to discover intelligent life in outer space. Lets start by looking for intelligent life in Washington, DC. And, that is my opinion. Michael Solomon If you want to help restore sanity to America, join the Flag Day campaign. Michael Solomon Author of Where Did My America Go?" Millie C wow you cought that ! YAAA How many people from the left will see the irony of samrt?
Answer: Consider their favorite. If Bill Clinton was smart, he would have said, when asked if he had sex with Monica, that's none of anyone's business, since there is no law against it. Or, "yes, I am human, and as a human, in a weak moment, i made a mistake. For that, i apologize to Hillary, and to Chelsea, and to the American people. Now, let's get on with running the country." He would have become instant hero. But, he chose to perjure himself, like the fool he is, was, and will forever be. -

I think Cancer is a sign from God and Im morally against treatment, can I ban my employees from treatment?

If i have a deep religious belief that Cancer is a punishment from God then I dont want my employees seeking treatment with my insurance that I provide. Can I ban this from my insurance policy? Republican Roy Blunt has an amendment that says I can. They are going to vote on it soon. Will this allow me to discriminate against all of those people? I also am morally against treating HIV, Parkingsons,Lupus,Diabetes,Arthritis, and most broken bones. Should I thank Roy Blunt for his intelligence to bring up a bill like this? Birth Control is a medical treatment for cancer and many other problems not just for birth control and this bill isnt just about that but ANY condition my employer says he is morally against.

Should we put an amendment in the health care bill that says "rape is still illegal"?

After all, since the bill does not say rape is still illegal, it must become legal after this bill is passed, correct? Now I know many of you must be wondering if I got hit in the head by a large blunt object this morning. How can a bill implicitly make something illegal? Why should a bill be required to repeat laws that already exist? However, this is the same argument being used to add an amendment saying that it will not funnd abortions. Federal funding of abortions is already illegal. This bill will not change that unless it specifically says otherwise, which it does not. Dont get me wrong: I am very pro-life, and am very opposed to federal funding of abortions. But I am also not naive enough to believe that all US bills sould reiterate laws that already exist.

Are you tired of the abortion topic being brought up to derail health care reform?

I will be blunt. I am pro-choice..to a degree, however Im getting tired of zealous pro-choice advocates using their dogma to impede the progress of improved health care for everyone else to which abortion does not apply. Abortion is not the only health issue! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091223/ap_on_bi_ge/us_health_care_abortion As stated in the article..... "Currently an annually renewed law called the Hyde Amendment bars the federal government from covering abortions under Medicaid except in cases of rape, incest or where the life of the mother is threatened. Similar prohibitions cover other federal programs, although states may choose to pay for abortion coverage for people on Medicaid if they do it with state funds" Hyde Amendment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_Amendment I understand that pro-choice advocates are representing low income women but this demographic isnt the only one that is going to be affected by this overhaul. Isnt it a bit selfish to solely impede progress for those without health insurance for just one demographic regarding one particular health issue?
Answer: Yes, but I feel about it the same way I feel about any sacred-cow topic that's so exhausting it sucks the air out of the room like one of those little air-fuel bombs.

Did Republican Flip Flop King Mitt Romney break his own record with his flip on the BLUNT AMENDMENT?

The Blunt amendment , is coming up for a vote in the Senate. Most folks who have read it say it is a bill against womens reproductive health, disguised as a bill that supports religious freedoms. I for one am very happy that Republicans are going to actually vote on something like this and put their name with a bill that most likely will come back to bite them in the ass. Democrats already have the Radical Ryan plan as ammunition but this is like icing on the cake. Mitt Romney was interviewed and said he was not for it only to have his press dept come out hours later reversing Mitts stance on it and he now supports it. Even for a man like Mitt Romney was that a fast reversal? Why did Mitt cave so fast? Should we check back tomorrow on it to see if he changed again?

Should we keep BOBBY JINDAL out of the White house?

His positions: Abortion and stem cell research Jindal has a 100% pro-life voting record according to the National Right to Life Committee.[33] He does not condemn medical procedures meant to save the life of a pregnant woman that would indirectly cause the termination of the pregnancy.[34][35] In 2003 Jindal was reported to have stated that he did not object to the use of emergency contraception in the case of rape if the victim requests it.[35] He opposes embryonic stem cell research[36] and voted against increasing federal funding to expand embryonic stem cell lines.[33] Same-sex marriage Jindal opposes the legalization of same-sex marriage, and has voted for the Federal Marriage Amendment to restrict marriage to a union between one man and one woman.[37] In December 2008, Jindal announced the formation of the Louisiana Commission on Marriage and Family, including individuals representing organizations that oppose same-sex marriage, including Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, Gene Mills, the executive director of the Louisiana Family Forum and Mike Johnson, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund.[38] Tax policy As a private citizen, Jindal voted for the "Stelly Tax plan",[39] a referendum named for former state Representative Vic Stelly of Lake Charles, which swapped some sales taxes for higher income taxes. Whether or not the "Stelly Plan" is giving the desired results is still hotly debated statewide. Early Republican challenger Steve Scalise challenged Jindal on his vote for this tax plan before Scalise dropped out of the congressional race in 2004. As Governor, Jindal initially opposed reforms to the Stelly plan that would result in over $300 million in tax cuts. He later agreed to the tax cut after the legislature appeared headed to eliminating the entire personal income tax which Jindal also opposed.[40] Talk show host Moon Griffon subsequently refused to air radio ads paid for by the organization Believe in Louisiana crediting Jindal for Stelly reforms saying "Now, they are taking credit for the biggest income tax cut in the history of Louisiana and I felt like it was a lie. To be real blunt, very misleading and it was an outright lie because he had fought hard against it".[40] Civil liberties Jindal voted yes on making the PATRIOT Act permanent, voted in favor of the 2006 Military Commissions Act, supported a constitutional amendment banning flag burning,[41] and voted for the Real ID Act of 2005.[42] Jindal has an "A" rating from Gun Owners of America.[43] Health care Jindal also supports co-payments in Medicaid.[44] Offshore drilling In 2006, Jindal sponsored the Deep Ocean Energy Resources Act (H.R. 4761), a bill to eliminate the moratorium on offshore oil and gas drilling over the U.S. outer continental shelf, which prompted the watchdog group Republicans for Environmental Protection to issue him "an environmental harm demerit".[45] Jindals 2006 rating from that organization was -4, among the lowest in Congress. The nonpartisan League of Conservation Voters also censured Jindal for securing passage of H.R. 4761 in the House of Representatives; the group rated his environmental performance that year at seven percent, citing anti-environment votes on 11 out of 12 critical issues. Jindals lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters is seven percent.[46] Despite claims that Jindals bill was successful,[47] H.R. 4761 was replaced by S 3711 (known as the Domenici-Landrieu Fair Share Plan). The original Senate version was passed by both houses of Congress and signed by President Bush.[48] Earmarks In 2007, Jindal led the Louisiana delegation in Congressional earmark funding. According to Taxpayers for Common Sense, in 2007, Jindals earmark funding was 14th among all Congressmen.[49] As Governor in 2008, Jindal used his line item veto to strike $16 million in earmarks from the state budget while allowing $30 million in legislator added spending.[50] Intelligent design Jindal supports the teaching of "intelligent design" in public schools.[51] Despite calls for a veto from groups as diverse as the the Roman Catholic Church, the ACLU, the National Review, and Jindals own biology professors at Brown University.[52] Jindal signed the Louisiana Academic Freedom Act in 2008. Crime and punishment On June 25, 2008, Jindal signed the "Sex Offender Chemical Castration Bill", authorizing the chemical castration of those convicted of certain sex offenses.[53] Jindal has also voted against giving the federal government jurisdiction to help local law enforcement with hate violence based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender and disability.[54]
Answer: We should keep all Republicans out of the White House until they admit the following: 1. You cannot govern a nation of over 300 million with "small government." 2. If a free society will not help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. (JFK, 1/20/1961 and still true today) 3. You don't have to agree with a woman's choice, but you damn well better respect her right to make it. You wouldn't let someone tell your wife whether to have a child, so why should you tell anyone else? 4. There is no provision for a high-speed rail line from Las Vegas to Disneyland in the Obama stimulus plan, and there never was. Stop lying about it! 5. The Republican plan on, well, everything these days is obstruction. You guys have no plans on, well, anything, so don't say you do, because you're lying -- again! 6. A Republican criticizing the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina is like Alex Rodriguez criticizing another player for steroid use. Pardon the pun, but it doesn't hold water. 7. You guys were kicked out of office not because you "betrayed your conservative principles," but because you held true to them. We have had enough! Jindal spoke of his family, and said Americans could do anything. After that, to borrow author Mary McCarthy's zinger, every word he said was a lie, including "and" and "the."

Romney clarifies his position on BLUNT AMENDMENT

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Wednesday he opposed Senate Republicans effort that critics say would limit insurance coverage of birth control, then reversed himself quickly in a second interview saying he misunderstood the question.

how is this paper? it is for my college english class. i still need conclusion. this is a rough draft.?

The Idea of American Injustice Just six weeks after the September 11th attacks on the world Trade Center and the Pentagon, Congress passed the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act gives investigators the power to spy on its own citizens. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11th and the Patriot Act, the rights of citizens of the United States and prisoners being held in camps such as Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib have been violated by the United States breaking the Geneva Convention. The idea of American justice is slowly becoming the idea of American injustice. So what is the Patriot Act and what does it give investigators the power to do? The Patriot Act allows investigators to wiretap phone lines, do a search called a “sneak and peak”, which allows investigators not have to obtain warrants, search a home and tell the person after they have searched their home. The Patriot Act also allows investigators to obtain personal information (books taken from library, every type of purchase, etc.). A website made by the Department of Justice, www.lifeandliberty.org, states that the Patriot Act has prevented another attack on America since September 11th, 2001 (Preserving 519). Indeed, the Patriot Act has likely prevented another terrorist attack, but at the cost of our constitutional rights? The Patriot Act violated the rights given to us by the Constitution, mainly the First and Fourth Amendment. The First Amendment is nonexistent since the Patriot Act was passed. Investigators can wiretap phone lines and go into our personal life and look at books we’ve read and things we bought. This totally ruins the foundations laid out by the First Amendment, which gives us our freedoms (religion, speech, press, right to petition and assembly) that have since been taken away from us. The “sneak and peak” which was earlier mentioned and part of the patriot Act violated the rights given to us by the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment gives people the right against unreasonable searches of homes, warrants must be obtained to search home, and the person must be notified that their house is being searched. With the “sneak and peak”, investigators are allowed to go into a house without a warrant and also can go into a house without giving notice to people whose things have been searched (Surveillance 521). With the War on Terror in full swing, we are trying the best we can to capture terrorists and obtain information vital for us to remain safe in the United States. We hold these “suspected” terrorists in prison camps such as Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. But, are the troops and investigators overseas following the Geneva Convention, signed in 1949? The Geneva Convention protects prisoners of war. Prisoners must be treated like humans and must be protected against acts of violence. In 2003, two detainees in an Afghan interrogation facility were killed. They were found with “blunt” injuries to the legs and lower body. Eighteen months has passed and there has yet to be a full military investigation (Barry 549). At the time, Donald Rumsfeld said that the Geneva Conventions are being followed by the United States but continued to state that “the Geneva Conventions rules do not necessarily mean that all detainees will get all the rights and privileges normally accorded prisoners of war” (549). So why don’t they get the same rights that all prisoners should be allowed to have? Investigators are using torture and violence to force prisoners to tell them things they want to hear. They believe they are doing what is best for the country. In their minds, in order to protect the country they need to use any kind of force possible to get these terrorists to speak, or America may be attacked again.
Answer: Sorry but i really dont know anything abt american justice par anyways i really hope tht someone will help u out !!! BEST OF LUCK !!!

Answer: The paper is fairly well presented. I disagree with the theme and tone but that isn't what you asked. Your points are generally well-argued except for the claim that "The First Amendment is nonexistent since the Patriot Act was passed." The First Amendment says Congress shall make no laws abridging the freedoms you list. It does not say Congress shall plug its ears when we speak. In other words, the FACT that the government can listen in on conversations does not, of itself, deprive us of a right guaranteed by the First Amendment. I think you would have to try to argue that because of governmental intrusion, people are afraid to speak; or people have otherwise been prohibited from stating an opinion. The fact that you are writing this paper goes against that argument. You may be better off leaving the First Amendment out and arguing the Fifth (due process) and Sixth (right to counsel) Amendments are being violated. Your Fourth Amendment claim is better laid out. I think your paper may be stronger if you find another word or phrase for "investigators." Your point is that the Government is violating our rights. Stick with that. Unless you say "the Government" or "Government investigators" you weaken the impact of your argument. Using the term "investigators" lets the reader forget it's the government doing this. Don't let Big Brother off the hook. Will your conclusion be a call to action to repeal the Patriot Act? WIll you suggest an alternative? You don't seem to contest the assertion that the Patriot Act has prevented further terrorist attacks. Will you conclude that terrorist attacks are a lesser evil than the loss of personal freedom by the Patriot Act? You've done a good job writing this paper and I'd love to read it when completed.

5th and 8th amendment, do they really dis-allow torture?

I am Pro-Torture and am writing an essay on it. Now, the only factor from the 5th amendment that makes torture illegal is that there is no jury or trial. That can easily be fixed if we set up Torture warrants for extreme/important situations. Yet the 8th Amendment says there should be "no cruel or unusual punishments". That is pretty easy to understand and it is blunt. Yet the 8th amendment is very broad and has left us to define "cruel" and "unusual". Torture is definately Cruel and Unusual. BUT, think of this scenario: A man walks into a gas station in the middle of no where. He pulls out a gun and holds everyone hostage until his demands are met. Many people would believe this is a good time for the police to shoot that person if they can. Because in order to save the hostages inside the gas station, the police have to violate the physical rights of the man with the gun. Compare this scenario to something more serious: There is a terrorist attack planned. We know minor details and it is crucial to prevent the attack. We have a few suspects but there is no way of knowing if they know the precise details we need. Is it better to wait for the attack to come, and hope our methods will be efficient for preventing the attack? Or should we try to get the answers quicker by torturing the suspects? If we refuse to torture, we are favoring the rights of the terrorists over the people being victimized. Sure, I know, torturing doesnt nessessarily give us the correct information. Suspects are liable of lying to get away from the pain. But if we combine our civil methods of gaining information and the possible information we may gain from suspects, we could prevent an attack much quicker and efficiently. We must use logic and reason to determine whether the information the suspect has given us is reliable. With all the information I have given you, is it better to favor the rights (5th and 8th amendments) of the terrorists over innocent victims because torture is very painful? Is it better for hundreds or thousands, or even a couple of people to die in order to save the rights of the terrorists? Sorry guys, I had to write this quickly so please forgive my unorganization.
Answer: Actually it would be Article 6 of the Constitution, second paragraph, that ultimately dis-allows torture: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." To clarify, see the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions and the United Nations Convention Against Torture, all signed *and ratified* by the United States. A lot of folks who say we should heed the letter of the Constitution often ignore this little section, because they think that the United States should be above international law. You can see our Founding Fathers didn't feel that way, and stated (with a distinct lack of ambiguity) that all Treaties shall have the SAME level of law as the Constitution itself. Thus, the Constitution, via the Geneva Conventions, disallows torture.
