Many states allow deficiency judgments in one kind of foreclosure, but not another. Often, a deficiency can be pursued in a judicial foreclosure, but not if a power of sale clause is used to auction a home outside of the court process. Homeowners should look up their own state laws and type of foreclosure being used against them.
The following list should be taken as a guide and not as legal advice or as particularly relevant to one borrower's case.
These states allow deficiency judgments without limits in certain kinds of foreclosure:
These states allow deficiency judgments with certain limits on the amount that can be granted in a judgment:
Deficiency judgments are not allowed on residential properties in Oregon under judicial foreclosure proceedings, and at all in power of sale foreclosures.

Depends on where you live. I added links to a site that gives the marriage without consent rules for all states in US. Most allow at age 18, age 19 in Nebraska and age 21 in Mississippi. Some allow younger if there is a pregnancy involved. Also added site that gives age of sexual consent in states of US.
Marijuana is not decriminalized anywhere in the US. Some states allow it for medicinal purposes. Maryland is not one of those states. Delaware which borders Maryland just passed legislation legalizing it for medicinal purposes.
There are not specific SOL's that apply to judgments in any US state. Judgments are granted for a specified amount of time usually from 5-20 years, with the majority of judgments being renewable. They become invalid if the judgment creditor fails to renew or the court denies the motion for renewal. Judgments are extremely damaging to a credit rating and continue to accumulate interest until they are paid or settled
In many states, a felony conviction for anything removes your voting rights. A conviction on most felony offenses will cause you to have your voting rights removed or curtailed. I believe that there are at least 2 states that allow felons in prison to vote but the remainder do not. Some states have provisions in their law to allow a convicted felon (once they have served their time) to have their record altered (expunged) and they can once again regain their rights, but not all. you will have to research your own states law on this matter.
None. There is no debtor's prison in the US.

Yes. All states in the US honor all monetary judgments from all other states. That being said, while the judgment may be honored in all states, not all states permit the same levels of recovery. Some states, such as Louisiana, do not permit garnishment as a means of recovery, others permit recovery only under specific conditions. Contact a collection lawyer in your local area for specific information. Most offer free consultations, but be prepared with all paperwork you have.
In general, US states give "full faith and credit" to the legal judgments of other states, so yes.
