Prisoner Trials

I believe that those from Guantanamo bay should be tried in the country that they cam from, or in whatever country they committed the crime that put them in Guantanamo. If they committed a crime in a country they do not belong its only fair to try them with the legal system of that country. If they decide do perform a crime they should be punished and receive those circumstances for committing that crime in whatever country it applies to.

Executive Privelage

I believe that the president needs to share all information with congress. They should know everything that is going on as well. Congress can impact whatever it is, and with information being disclosed I think it is unfair. They should know every aspect of a matter and preform to the best of their ability.

Hate Crime

Im glad to hear that transgenders and homosexual are being represented. People are what they are, no one can change that or should want to change that. No matter race, religion, or sexual orientation you should not be made fun of. Everyone falls under one of these categories and no one wants any of them to be diminished or looked down upon. I believe this act is important because otherwise people who discriminate against others because of race, and religion etc. would get away with it.

Different Backgrounds in the Supreme Court

I think its necessary to have different backgrounds in the supreme court.With different backgrounds you get a wider view and opinion on each case. i believe it is more fair that way and if everyone felt the same way on something we might as well have one judge. Each judge was appointed for certain reasons, and I think there background and where they come from has impacted these reasons.

Eminent Domain

The government should not be allowed to take someones property unless it is truly for the better of the community, such as to build a hospital. In cases where the government justifies taking someones property to put in more parking for a car dealership because it brings in more taxes for the communities benefit seems ridiculous to me. Hundreds of people have lived in these homes or have had these family owed businesses for years, and for the government to take it away should be unconstitutional.

Marijuana Legalization

I feel that marijuana should be legalized and taxed. People use marijuana for health reasons and it really works for certain people. I believe that marijuana is also a lot safer then alcohol is and once legalized the crime rate involving marijuana will likely decrease.

People in Congress

I think people who did not attend college should be able to be apart of congress. There are a lot of really intelligent people who did not attend college or who are college drop outs, that now are very successful, one of which being Bill Gates. You do not need a college education to be fully aware and understanding of what is going on in the world.
