everybody is entitled to migrate any where especially here in the us.\n\nit sounds like you are prejudice about black people. but with your name like that, you must be a minority yourself. unless you are hiding your own true colors that represent your bigotry cause you are scared to be known?\n\nalso, what you mean black people? the africans? the indians? the europeans? some people from south america? people from caribbean? people from australia? micronesia? asia? black people comes from all over the world.\n\nyou should not be asking that kind of question cause it is\nnot right. not only for the black people but for our government as well..

Ya think lol?  If anyone has the link to this information I'd appreciate having it, but I know that a few days back someone posted a link, which I did access, that showed the verdict was originally scheduled for sometime in October (19th I think), but was delayed to November per United States request.  Republicans are freaking out because they're going to lose the House and King George will finally have some check and balances put on him.  They're willing to trot out anything to try and buttress the vote their way.  The trouble is that we've seen this act before.

Here is a good treatment on it:\n\nhttp://qhr.sagepub.com/cgi/reprint/13/7/893.pdf

No. It sure elevates dealing with the problem that come about. Enforcement is an issue. Drinking and driving, pregnancies, etc. are hard to deal with for most families and financially burdensome.

Here is my take on this situation....I am glad that he told us that this is a consideration for the government to implement! They could have done this without any warning to the American public...in fact, you know that this has been done before...and has been done without the knowledge of Americans! I think that it is a great, and smart, move on his part! I hope, and I am sure, that it will not be a permanent pain in our society, but desperate times call for desperate measures. So, anything that can prevent another hardening attack on American soil is okay with me!

Unless someone can shift the focus (or Congress can pass a compromise bill), Border Security and the Iraq occupation (both terrorism issues) will probably dominate the political landscape. \n\nSomething *has* been done about health care and social security in the most recent term; making it more of a local issue. If people in the district are extremely for or against the recent reforms, it will play locally. Abortion will also have play locally; but unless there's a ramp-up in the anti-abortion forces, or another outbreak of violence surrounding clinics it's a secondary issue.\n\nNobody in Washington wants to talk about corruption, lobbyist reform, the growing deficit or taxes; so it's an issue for the opposition.\n\nAs a minister, the biggest issue for me is gay marriage. To me, a government prohibition on gay marriage is equivalent to saying "People born on Tuesday can't take Holy Communion."

One good feature of our laws is that they can be changed. Even the Constitution can be amended. The "Bill of Rights" which guarantee Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press etc are the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution.  \n\nAnd there is the Supreme Court decision in "Brown v. Board of Ed" which ruled that "separate is not equal" and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 against discrimination.\n\nThen there have been laws for social programs which help people like Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" and the legislation that created the Social Security program.  And there are laws for fair labor standards and establishing the minimum wage. \n\nThere are also anti-trust laws to prevent monopolies although these seem to be mostly ignored these days.\n\nFurthermore, a law can be challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court so if a locality feels their local law is wrong, they can appeal it. \n\nAlthough in our time laws like the Patriot Act are being used against the people, it was not always so.

Loathe as I am to defend ANY Republican, I think that there is more going on here than a small group of John Birch Society-style conservatives 'going off the reservation' and ttrying to turn back the hands of time all by themselves.\nIt may be possible that there were numerous parts stuffed into the renewal of the act (in political jargon, its called pork-barrel politics) that the small group took exception to. This practive is not at all uncommon, where something unpopular is packaged within something that is extremely popular (or time-critical) so it will pass into law as well.\nWhile I am not at all sure of what was contained within the renewal, it might have been something about the wording that would allow for contentious debate in the future (such as granting the right to gay marriage to those subject to the Act in the chance that it became federal law), or contravened the authority of individual states' right (it has happened many times before, and took forever to fix). As well, it might have been a provision in the renewal calling for the closure or heavy regulation of a corporation in the Republican's state of constituency.\nSo, it might not have had anything to do with the Act itself, and the Democrats (who can play dirty pool almost as good as the Republicans) retaliating for not being yes men.\nObviously, more research should be done before assigning blame.

The law should apply to everyone equally. \n\nThe press can have a hay day with high profile cases though.

I'm absolutely in favor of it.  There is no reason why a law should be tied together with some totally unrelated pork barrel project.  By the same token congress must be very careful not to pass a bill that they feel requires all elements to be law or none at all.  I can't think of a good example right now but I can foresee the possibility of this happening...where an all or nothing deal is the only acceptable result....possibly  in appropriations where you are voting on spending for some project and if all the elements of the project aren't passed then the money would be wasted.\n\n\nascarta2  wording can't be changed around like that.  contained within bills are item numbers.  a line item veto gives the president the authorization to veto one item and sign the bill into law...he could not change the wording on other items.

I have been a long time supporter of this legislation.  Everyone needs to go to WWW.FAIRTAX.ORG and read up on this and sign the petition.  I believe anyone who reads enough to understand will be writing their congressmen to vote for this.

i think that lawsuits haveben particularly effective in advancing certain aspects of the progressive aggenda, but the fact the courts are likely to help popular cuases has encouraged those with greivance to over-rely on them.  other factors, such as the NLRA, have hindered direct action.

you are right its the equal rights amendment to our constution and yes we do still need it. just look ate the minum wage and how long its been since it was adjusted. if the era is cancelled do you think women will get a fair deal in the working enviorment??i don't think so myself.

Meh. That's why we should all keep screaming UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!! Not just in Yahoo answers, but in SIGNED letters to the editor, comments on other Internet forums, at the PTA meetings, while talking to the mom sitting next to you at your kids' basketball game....\n\nUp the volume, and it'll be harder to track down any single person....\n\nand MAYBE, just MAYBE, we'll end up convincing enough citizens that neoconservatism, the Religious Right, "war on terror" and "the war on drugs" etc...are all parts of  the biggest scam in American history, and we'll work together to get our country back.

Yes.  Just let people give straight to candidates without the red tape.  If you look at the PACS, you will see they are paying out to half the legislature to buy support.  This is the opposite of reform.
