Woman who needs medical marijuana given years in prison
This is an amazing case, because not only was a woman named Patricia Smith imprisoned for taking marijuana for medical purposes, but the jury that convicted her knew she was taking it for medical reasons. Also, even though they were informed that they did not have to convict... Police engaging in strip searches in Milwaukee illegally
A number of Milwaukee police (where I live) have been engaged in illegal strip searches, without an arrest, of suspects. Of course, under the U.S. Constitution, without probable cause, police cannot engage in strip searches. Some of these searches were rectal... Republican tells women that being battered isn't that bad
Republicans and non-libertarian conservatives often don't like the fact that people can divorce. Some on the far religious rightwing, want to restrict the ability to divorce as much as possible, even ban it. If women are abused and battered, well, to them that is not as... If you make $500 an hour as a sex worker, are you really a victim
Prostitution in the vast majority of the U.S. is illegal. Period. Even when there is no victim. Now if someone is forced into prostitution, than yes, there is a clear victim. If someone is underaged. If someone can't reasonably consent. In all these cases, go after those who... GLAAD holds anti-gay activists accountable for their own words
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, is an organization that has supported gay rights in our nation for the last 27 years by supporting positive images of gays and lesbians in the media. So, it serves a different niche in the gay civil rights movement in... Santorum lies regarding the Dutch and his obsession with porn
Rick Santorum keeps putting his foot in his mouth. Well, at least it isn't a silver spoon like Mitt Romney. He stated that for Puerto Rico to become a state, it must abide by federal law and have English as the main language. One point there Rick, there is not such federal... Rightwing says any criticism of Sarah Palin, is sexist? At all?
Sarah Palin spent an interview attacking President Obama. Which is of course her perfect right. She called him a man of "radicalism" and "not a man of valor". Again her right. But when the Obama campaign ran an ad countering her comments, she and her defenders engaged in a... Urge Democrats to support marriage equality for gays in platform
It is getting harder and harder to find Democratic party politicans who don't support marriage equality for gays and lesbians in the U.S. But there is no guarantee that the Democratic party will have in its' platform this year, a statement in support of marriage equality. In... Being lied to about age not defense in sex crime cases, why?
If you try to meet a person who you believe is a minor (such as through the internet), to have sex but they turn out to be a cop, that is a crime. I don't oppose this practice, along as the police aren't the ones making the first move or entrapping someone into a crime that... Why tradition isn't good, especially in regards to gay rights
Is tradition a good thing? Or, to rephrase the question, is something good because it has a lot of tradition behind it? Well, many good things have lasted because they are good and hence became a tradition.But, are traditional beliefs, institutions or events good in of itself... Why did police ignore 4th Amendment rights of students?
This is an amazing case out of Greene County, Missouri. High school students at Central High School were ordered to leave their possessions in their classrooms, be it notebooks, purses, backpacks etc for sheriff's deputies to search, really ransack, at will. No reasonable... Jon Stewart and Colbert at Amnesty International fundraiser
It it Amnesty International's 50th anniversary. As I write about them, I sit here in my Amnesty International t-shirt which arrived yesterday. They are a great organization and they are having a fund raiser on March 4th, entitled the Secret Policeman's Ball. Actually, they... Urge the Democratic party to support marriage equality for gays
It is getting harder and harder to find Democratic party politicans who don't support marriage equality for gays and lesbians in the U.S. But there is no guarantee that the Democratic party will have in its' platform this year, a statement in support of marriage equality.... Should the police break down your door if you have marijuana?
You're in your house, sound asleep, and a group of men kick down your front door in the middle of the night. They have guns drawn, pointing at you and they are shouting. You wake up from a sound sleep and you don't know who they might be. Your children are crying, they are... State of Alabama might kill an innocent man, and it doesn't care
Death row inmate Thomas Arthur might be innocent, but it does not matter to the state of Alabama. They are going to kill him anyway. His defense is willing to pay for a DNA test to prove his innocence, after his conviction 30 years ago. So, there is no cost to the state of... Top Members Today
