It shall be unlawful for an individual who is an officer or employee of the Federal Government, including the President, Vice President, and Members of Congress, to solicit a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a Federal, State, or local election, while in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an officer or employee of the United States, from any person."

Another View: The question is missing too many facts to be answered. As mentioned above, GENERALLY speaking it might be okay.

Can an employer open mail addressed to an employee for work related mail?

You need to investigate the policy manual applicable to the government agency to which you refer. All employers, civilian and governmental, have policies in place for handling mail received through company channels that is addressed to an employee; and, that employee is restricted to the use of that venue by the terms set forth governing it. Just as "WORK" is not a democracy, your rights as a citizen are reinterpreted when under the jurisdiction of Company Policy. This is because of your implied acceptance of the rules set forth by accepting employment with that employer. In "real life", nobody is authorized to open your first-class, stamped, postmarked mail except you, your designated agent, your next-of-kin(should you die), an executor of an estate belonging to you(should you die), an officer of the court by court order, or a duly ascribed government official in their sworn official capacity during the commission of their assigned legal duties. At work, depending upon written policy, it may only take a "boss" to do that; and, should a question be raised, a judge may be required for determination of an official answer.

What is the importance of precedent?

Canada and most of its provinces (except Quebec) follow the common law system. One of the key principles of this system is that the law should be applied uniformly. Case law sets a precedent for how the law applies to specific situations, and courts make heavy use of it to ensure that the law is being consistently applied. Once a court rules on a matter of law, the courts are bound by the precedent, though a higher court may overturn the ruling and, of course, Parliament can amend the law.

Why does it make sense for the supreme court to serve as the final court of appeals in state and federal systems?

Because the judges appointed have been lawyers for an extended amount of time and have read the constitution many times. So basically they know the law inside and out.

Why is the government looking to take out the second amendment?

==One Answer== The United States government is not trying to interfere with your right to gun ownership. There has been a struggle over the Second Amendment for centuries. There has always been individual lawmakers on both sides of the issue. The ones who seek stricter regulation of firearms believe that will have an impact on the easy availability of guns by criminals. The opposition thinks gun owners should be protected at all costs. The present administration has supported the latter and the anti-gun-control lobby has always been stronger than the opposition. Many people think the opportunity for gun control has passed. Guns are now a part of the fabric of American life. In answer to that dilemma the gun lobby proposes that every American should be armed in order to protect themselves from gun violence.
