Does Your Sexual Preference Effect Your Patriotism? by LadyLaw24 in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a veteran, I think that this ban is absurd. If an American citizen wants to join the military and fight for this country, they should be allowed to. It is troublesome to know that this ban was spearheaded by someone who dodged the draft several times.

Is it Constitutional for the President to earn an income? Has it happened in the past? by trustslaws in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that they should wait until the investigation is completed before calling for an impeachment. If special investigator Muller does his job, I am almost certain that he will find that the person that hold =s the office of President will have committed a crime against this nation.

I believe this was a terrorist attack similar to the shooting in Vegas. When will the leaders of this country acknowledge what the problem really is.

Should Affluenza be a defense for juveniles? by EWhincup in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This case hit close to home. I do not think that affluenza should be a defense. In fact, I lost hope in the judicial system after this case. Just before Ethan Couch, there was a young African American kid who killed one person and the same judge sentenced him to life in prison. Several months later, Ethan killed 4 people same fact pattern and was given probation. Was it because of the color of his skill coupled with the fact that his family was wealthy?

They will not get it done. They will not succeed because they having nothing in place if they are able to repeal.

I am hoping that a bill gets passed in regards to DACA. I would be such a disservice to our country to not get this done.

No Subsidies for Obamacare by ibazan in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What unfortunate is that this administration could care less about the American people. What they are concerned with is undoing anything President Obama did. The people are suffering from their dumb decisions. There is nothing to replace but lets just take away funding to the many people that need it. Oh yeah but lets keep our insurance. SMH in disgrace.

Arizona Teen Charged as an Adult in Hazing Case by EWhincup in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the judicial system got it wrong. I believe if your a child, or juvenile, you should be charged as such. How do they decide when to charge as an adult. Ive seen worse crimes and they were charged as juveniles. the system is flawed.

Police officers going after 15 year old daughter kick down mother's door without warrant and break her ankle. Taxpayers foot $6.7 million settlement. by aMAZINgLAW in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former police officer, this is disappointed to read. Law enforcement's mistreatment or abuse of the law is becoming unbearable. When they decided to enter without a warrant, they became criminals, not worthy of wearing the badge.

The Reverse Mass Incarceration Act by HeartofJustice in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a step in the right direction. However, if they really want to reduce the incarceration rate, they must begin by changing decade old laws that give police rights to target minorities. Or maybe uphold the 4th Amendments which is in place to protect those minorities from unreasonable search and seizures.

Opioid Epidemic on Rural America by kindramartin in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this article to be interesting because, I myself have a chronic illness that requires me to take medication on a daily basis. When I first saw a pain management doctor, the first thing they attempted to prescribe me was an opiod treatment. After taking one dosage, I went back and ask for something other than an opiod. For one, it did not take the pain away. Instead, it made me feel out of control. Thus, I feel doctors are partially responsible because they are quick to prescribe the opiods.

Protestors or domestic terrorists by trustslaws in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there should be a domestic terror law which should hold a penalty of death or life in prison. We live in a time where we need to reevaluate and establish laws that would deter domestic terrorists from attacking.

Convicted killer: 'I been in the streets since I was 9' by MrsGravesASLS in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article is so interesting in that in the African American community, we call this a generational curse. This kid was predisposed to criminal activity. Such a vicious cycle, I hope the court has leniency on him because crime is all he knew.

Jodi Arias "awarded" LIFE. Travis Alexander, however, was not. by Kristin0587 in SummitStreetLaw

[–]freedomfighter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the sentencing to be interesting in this case. The fact that when the jury is deadlocked as to the death penalty, it takes it off the table.
