Federal Laws

There is a statute in the state of New York that prohibits blocking a US Postal Service mailbox. This applies to rural as well as urban receptacles.

Because legislating marriage is a right reserved to the states. If it's not an enumerated constitutional power, Congress has no authority to pass a law.*

(*nb: The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which does define marriage as a union between "a" man and "a" woman, applies only to areas in which the federal government has authority to provide benefits (ie, immigration, income tax breaks, social security benefits, etc.) to married people. It's sort of a defacto federal anti-polygamy law, though that's not its intended purpose.)

True.

Can convicted felony be on DC council

None. Polygamous marriages are not legal in the United States - period! Even if the marriages took place in a nation where they were legal, if a polygamous man moves to the United States and continues his polygamous relationships, he will be breaking the law.

State statutes customarily cover this kind of offense, and the Feds wouldn't even become involved unless the money was stolen from a federally insured institution or the crime was perpetrated in, or in, a federal reservation or in a federal facility. In that case, there is no qualifying amount, ANY amount would be sufficient for them to step in.

In the United States, the legal age to purchase alcohol is 21. It is illegal to purchase or consume alcohol if you are under 21. However, In many countries the legal drinking age starts at 16-years-old and 18-years-old.

Yes you can vote in the state of Alabama as long as you were not convicted of a violent crime. If your felony was severe you will need either a partial or full pardon. Partial restores the right to vote among others. A full pardon will restore all rights including your right to own a firearm. They say only 2% who apply for a full pardon actually get a full pardon. As of this time last year they were backed up 2 years. If you are only wanting to hunt. There are other options; there is bow and arrow, crossbow, and I believe black powder. I think the black powder was considered to be different type of firearm. You would have to check Alabama's code of law on this, maybe even have a lawyer look into it before purchasing a blackpowder rifle.

Generally, state court decisions can only be appealed to the US Supreme Court (not lower federal courts) if all avenues of appeal have been exhausted within the state court system and if the case involves a preserved federal question. A federal question is a matter that involves federal law, the US Constitution, or a US treaty. In order for a question to be preserved, it must be raised at the trial and at every appellate level.

The courts that handle divorce differ depending on the location. In most states in the U. S. , state courts have a Family and Juvenile Law section. Sometimes this section is located within the local courthouse and other times it is located elsewhere. This section is the one that handles divorce cases.

You won't go to jail or anything. although, government linked business such as the post, are very difficult to sue, cause the government backs them up and they will be able to "find" (make) loopholes wherever. but yeah you can.

In all states in the U.S. it is illegal to buy cigarettes under the age of 18. In some states, such as New York, it is however legal to possess or smoke them under the age of 18.

A presidential candidate is free to choose anyone he/she wants as a vice-presidential running mate. Realistically, though, the candidate chooses someone from their own party, since their chances of being elected with a running mate from a different party would be minimal.

Originally the VP was the candidate with the second greatest number of votes, essentially the one who lost the election. Now the VP is selected as a running mate. A presidential candidate decides who he/she thinks would provide a good "draw" to the voters.

This decision of 1842 seems pretty conclusive:

From the page:

"The ruling upheld the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution in which federal laws take precedence over state laws when regulating the same activity. The Commerce Clause of the Constitution is one major avenue for the national government to exercise its authority over states. From the 1930s New Deal era through the 1970s the federal government significantly grew by increasingly regulating many facets of life. By the 1980s states' rights proponents began to reverse the trend. Debates over federal controls continued into the late 1990s focused on proposed national health care reforms.

At the center of issues intensively debated by the founders of the United States was federalism, the distribution of power between the federal and state governments. Dispute over the degree of centralization of political power in the United States highlighted by debates between Alexander Hamilton and JamesMadison led to formation of the first political parties in the nation. As a result, the Supremacy Clause was written into Article IV of the Constitution providing the primary basis for the federal government's power over states. The article states the "acts of the Federal Government are operational as supreme law throughout the Union . . . enforceable in all courts of the land. Thestates have no power to impede, burden, or in any manner control the operation of" federal law."

It means nothing anymore. It's garbage to our government. The United States can now detain, confine, for any length of time, without lege counsel, without charge, without constitution any one acused of terrorism, they have riddled a way our rights and freedoms, I for one, am going to defect to britain, atleast they still have a right to breath without a permit in there country.

What do you base that on? Have you never heard of pardons? I don"t think you are as smart as you think you are.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but felons CANNOT get their gun rights back. No firearms whatsoever, No concealed or unconcealed handguns and NOT EVEN A SHOTGUN...not even to protect their own home. Sorry.

This is the most precious right that we have and some really screwed up people are ruining it for the rest of us.

Felons can still vote though..the last time I checked.

you can get you gun rights back ,but you will have to file for a pardon ,it takes about 8 weeks to compleat the filing process ,and then after 1 year of not being arrested for ANYthing the gov will sent you a letter in the mail stating that your rights are restored

all you have to do is get 3 letters from people that are outstanding in the commiunity

i used my pastor my supervisor and my ex parole officer ,and you will also have to do a 500 word essay stating on how you have changed your ways and that you are a law biting citizien .and that's it ,the whole process took me about 18 months

"Reject" is a pretty harsh word, but I understand your meaning. Under the 10th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, states have certain political rights. They can, for example, write laws that creatively expand upon a federal law without conflicting with the federal law. One such area of law is gun rights. Although the 2nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that you have the right bear arms, states can and do put restrictions on the carrying of guns by requiring licenses to carry guns. Requirements to apply for these licenses differ widely. Most states restrict gun licenses to those who have not been convicted of a felony, are of a particular age (18 or 21), etc., etc. In this way, states maintain some semblance of community standards without "rejecting" federal law.

The Federal Courts try issues dealing with violations of Federal law. They also take appeals from state courts. There are four basic branches of the Federal Judiciary: U.S. Bankruptcy Court, U.S. District Court, U.S. Courts of Appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court. There are a number of specialty courts operated by the U.S. Government, too. Links are provided to the U.S. Judiciary website and to the Wikipedia article.

b. Fiscal law

There are three major types: Honorable, General and Dishonorable.

Honorable discharges are given to personnel who have distinguished themselves in the service, such as those permanently physically disabled during conflict. In civilian terms, this is approximately like a medical retirement, with the addition of recognition for exemplary service and dedication.

General discharges are typically given to personnel who have served well but not with great distinction and are leaving the service at the end of their enlistment period. In civilian terms, this is approximately like retiring.

Dishonorable discharges are for those who are ejected from the military for failure to meet the terms of service. In civilian terms, this is approximately equivalent to being fired, with the additional notation that you were unfit for military service.

Unless you are awarded SS Disability or a similar award, the qualifying retirement age is graduated depending on when you were born. Contact your local SS office for further information.
