How can they amend a recently made law if the majority of the voters passed it for a reason?
Filed Under Law & Ethics | Comments Off
I read that in Connecticut voters passed a law decriminalizing the use of marijuana, but they might amend law making it a criminal offense. Voters passed the law by a 65-35% margin and local officials are tyring to repeal it for some reason. I just would like to know how our government is supposed to work if they can just repeal any law that the voters pass?

What law specifically denies unemployment benefits to a sole proprietor?
Filed Under United States | Comments Off
I understand that the employer can not pay himself a salary, pay payroll tax on his salary, and then collect payments if he goes out of business. I would like to know specifically where this is addressed in federal law or D.C. law.

What exactly does the law and ethics have to do with each other?
Filed Under Law & Ethics | Comments Off
As a hopeful lawyer soon-to-be (okay wannabe, you made me say it) what does ethics have to do with the law?
I mean, I know ethics has good intentions. It can restrict lawyers from doing bad things. But it also gives criminals leeway to get away from the law? How do they complement each other?
If you know the origin of “ethics” (from “ethos”) and logic (from “logos”) upon which much of the laws have been built in the history of the world, you’ll see why the Ancient Greeks called them branches of Philosophy.
So why have we only taken “ethics” and “logic” from Philosophy and applied it to the law? There’s aesthetics, metaphysics, and others?
Seems like the law is just trying to keep out the others. I say get rid of ethics and everything will be fine.

Where is it law limiting the maximum number of dogs in a family to 4?
Filed Under Dogs | 13 Comments
Some woman posted a traumatic story of having to give up 2 dogs as they owned 6 and she stated state law only allowed a family to own 4. I don’t know of any place where this is STATE law as she said, but I did find there is such a law in Haverstraw, NY. Are there other places with such a law?

I have been doing some research into the Federal Reserve Bank and how it states in our constitution that hiring a private bank to mint monies for the government is illegal. As a result of the Federal Reserve Bank minting money, the government decided to charge the American people a “Federal Tax” to pay back interest to the Federal Reserve. However, they never put this into law.
