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.

6.1 Importance Of Freedom Of Speech And Expression The importance of free speech as a basic and valuable characteristic of western society cannot be underestimated. As well as emphasizing the value of free speech, it is proposed to make an evaluation of some of the traditional restrictions on what may be freely said or published, such as the defamation laws, contempt of court, national security and so on.

In Zablocki v Redhail (1978), the Court struck down a Wisconsin law that required persons under obligations to pay support for the children of previous relationships to obtain permission of a court to marry. The statute required such individuals to prove that they were in compliance with support orders and that marriage would not threaten the financial security of their previous offspring.

A federal court of appeals denied Texas from enacting its voting rights law. This case is one of many to cut back on strict voting laws in Texas. Many say the law is discriminatory and then pro voter ID law people say that it has noting to do with minorities or poor people. They say that is all suggested by the people who just do not want the law. Texas has two options and they are to make changes to the previous law or go straight to the supreme court.

I feel as though you should have to provide proof of citizenship when you show up to vote. Voting is a priveledge of American citizens and if your not a citizen you should not have the right to choose it leaders. Everyday you have people stealing social security numbers in order to get jobs so who is to say they are not voting as well?

This article gives both sides when it comes to freedom of the press, specifically dealing with video taping and or recording law enforcement while they are on duty. It also questions that fact that is there any difference between the news media recording something and a by standard recording the same thing.
