A. I am not a lawyer, a Judge or an Authority, but I am a father who had a woman use her gender as a way to deprive me of seeing and being part of a child's life. Courts are still biased in their opinion that mothers automatically make the BEST parent, and in 80% of cases they side with the mother no matter how good or bad she is at parenting. A child is created by a man and a woman, it takes both (50/50) for this to happen, and until the Courts recognize that a male is as good as a female when it comes to loving, nurturing and raising a child, it will be an unjust System.

What takes courts so long to nullify executive acts that are unconstitutional?
Q. The use of signing statements is legislating by the executive, in violation of the separation of powers doctrine, and is clearly unconstitutional. Why haven't the courts outlawed this abuse yet? What is taking them so long? And what power does the executive have over the judiciary that might be used to delay or influence the ruling?

How would the courts justify handing out longer sentences for drugs compared to rape and murder?
Q. Sure it doesn't happen everyday but it does happen. Do you think a drug dealer or smuggler deserves a stricter sentence than a potential murderer or rapist? There's rapists serving sentences of 10 years of less, murders serving sentences with 20 years or less, and drug dealers in the pen for life. How would the courts justify the sentencing guidelines? Thank you Mutt, very accurate : ) Of course it doesn't make any sense because the whole question is hypothetical...

A. What's really messed up is that you can be charged multiple times for the same crime when it comes to being a drug dealer. If you're selling multiple drugs or have your stash seperated into multiple bags, you can be charged for each item. So even though you're only breaking one law, you'll get charged for several and spend an excessive amount of time in prison. That would be akin to charging a murderer with homicide for ever time they stabbed the person (4 stab wounds = 4 counts of homicide). The same thing goes with bank robbers. Rob a bank and get caught, you're spending 30 years in jail. Rape a teenage girl and you'll get 10 years. How do the courts think that it's somehow fair and balanced?

If the federal courts uphold prop 8, specifically what harm will that do to the gay marriage movement?
Q. Some freak lawsuit was filed this week now taking prop 8 to the federal courts. If the federal courts uphold prop 8, what harm, if any, will that do to the gay marriage movement? A lot of lgbt groups are calling this move unwise and harmful to their own cause. Tell me, what are the consequences should the courts uphold prop 8? Do they have anything to lose?

A. The LGBT groups that are calling this unwise are correct. The California Supreme Court ruled on a California law, and even though many people (including me) don't like it, it does make more sense to say that prop 8 is an amendment, not a revision. I'm guessing that the federal courts will either refuse to hear the case, or uphold prop 8. It won't harm the cause much, because prop 8 can be repealed in 2010.

Can a law office/creditors get the courts to place a lean on ones home if they dont pay their debt?
Q. My father had gotten our home loan for my sister and I a few years ago. So his name is on the loan and his name is on the title (My sister and I's name is only on the title). Now he has some debt which the law offices/creditors have taken to court. We were planning on selling our home and moving somewhere else...Would the courts put a lean on our home because of my fathers debt to make us pay before we can sell? To be honest, we cant pay what he owes simply because we cant afford it. Thanks for any info, Ive been stressed over this for a while.

A. It is possible for creditors to get a court ordered judgment and at that point they can file liens on any property that your Father owns. This will not prevent you from selling the house, but the lien will mean that after the first loan is paid off any remaining profit will be applied to the second lien holder to pay them.

ROTC is for Commissioned Officers, and to be in the JAG Corps as a Commissioned Officer, you must have a JD. Your Criminal Justice degree would be better suited to the Military Police Corps.

How do courts determine child support if Dad is unemployed?
Q. If the father is unemployed because he is a college student, how will courts determine support payments? And, how will the amount be affected if the father has another child with another woman?
Asked by Kimba - Mon Dec 1 01:37:16 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. In most states this will be considered voluntary unemployment and the court will set child support payments at a level based on his potential income based on qualifications and experience. Since it is considered voluntary, he will be expected to begin making payments immediately. On involuntary unemployment, the support accrues, but does not need to be paid until a job is found.

A. Conservative use the constitution the same way they use the bible- they only like the parts that support what they already believe and ignore the parts that contradict. Deep down they know the law is unconstitutional but they don't want to face that.

How are jurors selected for state and federal courts in California?
Q. Is it a centralized system or does every court come up with their own list? I'm wondering because I've been called for jury duty three times in less than 9 months, by three different courts, and I'm wondering if I need to get something fixed or if this is just the fate we're doomed to.

A. Each County jury commissioner maintains a list, usually drawn from voter registration and DMV, though telephone records may sometimes still be used. You should be called no more than once a year for jury service, but that is once for state and once for federal, since they are different systems. However, that only results in two jury summons. If you were summoned twice in the same county, the summons should have had a place where you could verify prior service within the past year. If you were summoned in two different counties, without moving, then there may be some error in your voter registration or DMV records.

What are the roles of lawyers involved in the civil and criminal courts?
Q. Could someone please explain to me what the roles of lawyers involved in the civil and criminal courts of england and wales are? Thanks

A. It depends on the type of "lawyer" you refer to. Remember the legal profession in England and Wales is split, and have different roles in different courts. By and large, by "lawyer" we mean solicitors and barristers. Think of their different roles as litigants and as advocates. There may also be other qualified personnel in a court - a judge (but not a magistrate), a clerk of the court, etc. What does the clerk do in a magistrates court?

What is the point of having courts, and constitutional due process, if Obama can assess and collect fines?
Q. After the BP shake down, it seems apparent that liberals have relieved America of the need for courts and due process.
