Is there a uniform government statute, or does it differ from state to state? Specifically California and Florida.

I live in FL and I don't understand your question.  Which amendments?  The ones we just voted on in this election?

If this is for an essay and you have time for research then you use a treatise on constitutional law. There are also resources online.\n\nThe US Supreme Court rules on the federal constitution. State supreme courts (in NYS the Court of Appeals -- their supreme court is the lowest court of general jurisdiction, following English practice) rule on state constitutions. Here's an example where a state law on double jeopardy was stricter than the federal rule: http://www.uniset.ca/naty/maternity/192P2d449.htm (in federal practice, two different sovereigns can prosecute the same offense, California law (only) is different).\n\nCiting a US Supreme Court case is easy. You go to http://www.lexisone.com (free registration required) or to http://justia.us (uses Google searching rules which may be more familiar to you) and you look for what you want -- key words, etc. Supreme Court cases are cited in the pattern "Smith v. Jones, 123 U.S. 456 (19XX)".\n\nMost Supreme Court constitutional law cases are famous: Roe v. Wade (abortion), Loving v. Viriginia (miscegenation), Lawrence v. Texas (sodomy), Miranda v. Arizona (right to warnings upon arrest), Gideon v. Wainwright (right to counsel). And so on.

Perhaps there are better answers here: http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm\n\nEach state has different laws. And why are you so curious Mya? Not planning on breaking any laws are you? haha

not really. because you chose to ignore the warrant, the SOL is stayed.  however if you never go back to california it will never be a problem.  i think Cal. is not a member of the Uniform traffic system which reports one state's violations to your home state.  otherwise call up the court and see

Each state has different laws, as do the schools, but in CA and NY you have to live for a year in the state for non-school purposes, and show that you have permanently relocated (changing the drivers license, etc.). \n\nI tried to go through this process myself. Good luck.

Federal trump state. State trumps local. Constitution trumps statute. Statute trumps case law.\n\nSo, from the top -- federal constitutional text, then US Supreme Court interpreting federal constitution, then federal statute, then other federal case law, then state constitution, etc....\n\nAs far as one state relative to another, neither is binding on the other.

Not true.  Those laws are controversial and apply only to specific localities.  Step outside that locality and you will be arrested.  In fact, the feds freely ignore those local and even state laws and arrest people and successfully convict them.  California is the only state to pass a law like this on the state level and the feds freely ignore it and arrest people.  Actually, they show great restraint in this.  They only arrest the 90% of people who fraudulently claim they are sick in an attempt to smoke pot recreationally.  They ignore the ones who are actually sick.

It varies from state to state, you will have to check on your particular state. Also, follow the new laws passed in your own state, as well as federally, as many of the changes are recent. When in doubt, ask- and don't ask on Yahoo Answers, you probably won't get a correct response.

no - that is two terms in a lifetime.  In California that goes for all state elected offices.  Once you are termed out of a given office, then you are termed for life. That is why people like Bill Lockler moved from Attorney General to the State Treasurer.

California does not designate it's crimes in degrees as so many other states do, so I don't know that I can offer a definitive answer for you.\n\nOn the other hand, states that do designate crimes in varying degrees, do so to establish the severity of the crime and/or punishment.  A 1st degree offense is more serious (more violence, more victims, etc) than a 2nd degree offense, and so on.

It really depends on the state.  Every state has it's own law on these things.

Federal branch takes care of business, it also seems to rule over those gray areas of government.\n\nState government rules the state.

Which constitution, state or federal? State court judges can review the constitutionality of a law under state or federal constitution. Federal judges can do similarly, although they may seek the opinion of the state supreme court when reviewing a state law under the state constitution. If there's a question of what governs, state vs. federal constitution, the federal constitution "trumps" state (supremacy clause). If it's purely a state matter without federal issues, then it will most likely stay in the state court. Once a state matter has been decided by the highest court in the state, then it can't be appealed to the federal system because there's no federal basis for appeal. If, however, the highest state court is looking at a matter that implicates federal issues, then that matter can be appealed to the supreme court.\n\nKind of confusing, huh?

Hopefully sooner rather than later.  I have a link that outlines the recent history of the same sex marriage legal battle in California along with a collection of relevant links at the bottom.  Hope it helps!\n\nOh, and the second link is to a same-sex marriage advocacy organization in Cali.  Hope THAT helps too!
