    Polygamy is a battle of both religion and rights for both types of people who are for or against polygamy. The author states the history behind the laws against polygamy as well as the battle between Reynolds and the US for it to be allowed due to the religious beliefs of Mormons. Reynolds was convicted and charged for polygamy, which in turn, ended it everywhere in the US; especially in Utah. Several times, the Reynolds Law has been challenged, but those who have challenged the law have failed.

    The famous reality TV show 'Sister Wives' is using their show to not only educate America about their religious lifestyle, but to help fight to let it be legal once again. Polygamy was outlawed in the 1890s, but it is still practiced today by many Mormon families. The religious practice has to be carefully done in secret for the fear of being convicted. The author states that Mormons just want to freely practice their faith and be left alone about it without legal consequences.

    I watched the first season of Sister Wives on Netflix, and, without voicing my personal opinions on the subject, I was really surprised that people are still practicing polygamy.

    A legal suit challenging the repeal of the "dont' ask, don't tell" policy was thrown out. Log Cabin Republicans filed suit saying the policy was unconstitutional and could leave future service members vulnerable to violations if congress re-enacted the policy. The ninth circuit made the ruling saying that predicting future congress acts are impossible.

    Although this paper was written back in 1996, I find its vision uncanny. To note that this paper was not written in the United States nor Europe or Canada, but in South Africa. J.J. Britz brings together the concept of privacy as it relates to ethics, confidentiality, socio-economical effects, and autonomy. Well written and researched.

    We have all heard about "Obamacare". Here's a look at what the arguments are all about. Is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act unconstitutional or lawful? Can the government force every legal citizen to buy insurance? Or does that over-step the rights of its very citizens? It seems, the answer lies in interpretation.

    This article talks about how marriage is the foundation of human civilization and the effects of redefining marriage. Forty-one states agree that marriage is between a man and a woman and children need a mother and a father.
  • Jodi Coffman on 31 Aug 13
     
    My personal belief is that marriage is to be between a man and a woman, however, I also believe that is it not my place to judge anyone. Who am I to tell someone who to love? These days marriages that last are rare. If a same sex couple love each other and are happy together, I think they should be able to be married. There are a lot of same sex couple who have lived together as couple for a lot longer than most marriages last.
  • Ana Ortiz Palacios on 31 Aug 13
     
    When I read "The nine justices are considering challenges to state and federal laws defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The two cases before it provide an important opportunity for Americans to reflect on three questions: What is marriage? Why does it matter for public policy? And what are the consequences of redefining marriage?" it blew my mind a little, because it is challenging every American to think about marriage. Not just as a sex (male or Female) thing but as a whole.

    Federal court struck down the Texas voter ID law requiring photos for voters at the polla. Their reasoning is that it is racially discriminatory. The Obama Administration originally challenged it.

    These voting laws that some states are trying to pass are pretty scary. This is definitely a good topic to explore.

    The mother of a gay man questioned the Presidential candidate and asked him to justify his position that gays shouldn't adopt. Santorum inferred that gays and lesbians don't have the right because God only grants everybody some rights but the government is in charge of deciding the leftover rights. Florida banned same-sex adoptions in 1977 but the law was challenged and 2 gay men adopted a foster child in 2011

Included in the Voter ID law are provisions that severely limit early voting that President Obama and democrats have used to gain an advantage over Republicans.
