When he was asked whether he would favor the prohibition of the bilingual ballot, he simply stated, “Of course not.” Wills’ continues in the next section stating that our national identity and our federal laws are being weakened by immigration that is influenced by these bilingual ballots. He also uses this anecdote in the fourth section by showing how our laws are weakening. That these illegal immigrants are able to ask for bilingual ballots because the law is weakening and they are able to immigrate into the country in illegal ways without knowing how to speak English or know anything about our politics. Although the chief rhetorical aim of the article appears to be to inform Americans rather than persuade them as to why the bilingual ballot should be prohibited, why is Will not taking up a more serious tone if he felt so strongly about the
Gun Control Laws in America Firearms should not be restricted, nor should their accessories or capabilities. Placing laws that take away from our right to bear arms would only give negative effect on the safety of the general public and the amount of crimes committed. People need guns to protect themselves from the people who want to corrupt their lives by using guns, regardless of the law. Gun control laws vary from state to state. In the republic of California, some would say we have some of the worst laws and restrictions in the country.
Lauren Adams Melissa Helton English 102 2 February 2012 Summary of A. Sullivan’s “For Gay Marriage” & W. Bennett’s “Against Gay Marriage”. Andrew Sullivan and William J. Bennett have very different opinions about legalizing gay marriage. Sullivan suggests it should be legal, but Bennett argues that it would ruin everything marriage stands for in America. In his book Virtually Normal: An Argument about Homosexuality (1995), former New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan argues that not having gay marriage is a violation of equality. He points out that he is not referring to religious traditions but suggests, in a public institution, marriage should be available to any two citizens.

Abigail and Stephan Thermstorm are the authors of the article “New Haven’s Racial Test: Merit doesn’t matter for city firefighters.” This article is about a promotional examination giving to firefighters of the New Haven, Conn. The argument is that the test doesn’t prove candidates to be better qualified for the promotion, it only test the ability to read and retain information. It explains the case of Ricci vs DeStefano which asks the question “may a municipal employer disregard the results of a qualifying examination, which was carefully constructed to ensure race - neutrality, on the ground that the results of that examination yielded too many qualified applicants of one race and not enough of the other?” Ricci is the lead plaintiff in
The true monsters who do commit unspeakable acts or who are found to be a valid threat to the public are simply not unleashed upon anyone; they will not be released. Sitting for years in a concrete box amongst murderers and drug dealers, being relentlessly mistreated and taunted, with nothing to think about but why on earth you’re there, is enough of a penalty in its own right. To have to endure the same fate upon leaving such a hell-hole would be too much for any person to
Criminal behavior would all be situational are we assuming that I’m a law abiding normal citizen or what. If this is pertaining to the me here and now then these factors are kind of pointless to make most of them minus the drug issue. Then again what types of criminal behavior are we talking is it j-walking shoplifting grand theft auto or anything like these. Honesty and dishonesty are always factors in self-report studies simply because when someone lies or is dishonest on a self-report study they then jeopardies the whole study there is no real way to tell if someone is telling the truth on a study or just simply filling in the blanks the way they think that someone would like them filled
One of the most common arguments deals with respecting the Constitution. Racial profiling should be eliminated in routine traffic stops because it leads to a violation of civil rights, poor relationships between police officers and citizens, and decreased urban safety. Racial profiling violates citizens’ rights in a few different ways. The fourth amendment reads, “The right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”, as recited by West Des Moines’ police captain, Scott Wiegert. A traffic stop on the basis of race violates the fourth amendment because the officer can make the victim feel violated instead of secure.
On March 19, 2001, Judicial Watch urged the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles to reject the plea agreement under which Bill Clinton’s friend James T. Riady and the Lippo Bank escaped with what was for them a slap on the wrist for their serious violations of campaign finance laws and other crimes. The pleading submitted by Judicial Watch is a clear and comprehensive summary of those crimes. It makes a persuasive case that the punishment agreed to by the Reno Justice Department and approved by the Ashcroft Justice Department does not come close to fitting the crimes and should have been set aside. The media coverage of this miscarriage of justice has been confined to reporting the judge’s acceptance of the plea agreement ? a fine of $8.6
A curfew on the minors of America is ineffective and unconstitutional. Curfew laws are ineffective in both preventing crime and utilizing police resources. Officer Tom Dwyer a sergeant in the Sacramento police department believes otherwise, “It is an effective crime prevention tool.” But if in fact curfews are effective crime fighting tools why then are they not in place on all age groups. The only logical conclusion one could draw from this type of blatant prejudice is that it is only
