    A Federal Judge had to temporary block on unattended displays in a Santa Monica Park. A group of atheists were protesting the displays of Nativity scenes that were a Christmas tradition of the city for the last 60 years.

    Naming your child after the "Messiah" should be a parents personal & religious freedom, but a Tennessee judge is forcing a mother to change her son's name to Martin. Religious freedom is for those who choose religion and those who oppose religion. How do we find a fair and equal balance for all.

    I'd followed this case somewhat but never from the angle of calling a child "Messiah" could infringe on the religious freedom of others. While I don't think this was the parents intention, there should be some legal mechanism in place to prevent this infringement. I think the judge in this case got it wrong in her ruling, her justifications for changing the baby's name were wrong. I do foresee a more solid legal challenge to naming children "Messiah" pushing forward.

    There is somewhat of a controversial issue here that could have this child set apart in a religious community. There are certain sects of Jewish and Christian communities that would see this as an insult and have this child's back against the wall when he came of age and none of which would be his fault. Although this is the perfect example of what a name is or can be for example Mr or Esquire which are simply titles, judgments being made on the child's name are debatable.

    I think this is a great article about personal freedom. I think you should be able to name your child whatever you like. Every religion, culture has their own name for "Jesus." Why would you make anyone change the name. I understand why some people would be against it, for religious purpose. As a U.S citizen you have the freedom to Religion.

    Very interesting topic. I am religious and find this to be ridiculous. I understand the judge may find it to infringe on a person's religious beliefs, but come on, seriously?! I think a parent should be able to name their kid whatever they want.

    A couple should be allowed to name their child whatever they want, the court should have no say in it. A name is not breaking any laws.

    This article is very useful for looking more closely at what it takes for a voter law to be considered unconstitutional and the steps it takes for that law to be appealed. This article talks about the Texas law that put harder restrictions on voter ID laws and how a Supreme Court judge ruled that the law was unconstitutional.

    Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and his administration removed Planned Parenthood from Louisiana's medicare program and the clinics cannot provide sufficient health care services. Judge John deGravelles is skeptical about the assumption that Jindal's health secretary, Kathy Kliebert, is being used to terminate the Medicaid provider agreements Louisiana has with Planned Parenthood's clinics in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

    Body art and tattoos are accepted in many types of careers. Times are changing and the younger generation have more body art and tattoos no a days. However, the white collared employees with face to face interaction with clients will be subject to their tattoos and body art being covered. Don't judge a book by its cover.

    Gay rights supporters scored another major victory in court Tuesday, when a state judge in Miami tossed out a statute that had for more than 30 years barred gay people in Florida from adopting children.

    The article highlights the debate over Florida's law that restricts any unmarried couple that lives together from adopting children. This law indirectly bans gay married couples from adopting.

    A judge in Mississippi put a lawyer in jail for not saying the pledge of allegiance. The lawyer did, however, stand up when the pledge was being said. Is this taking it to far? I believe it is out of respect to say the pledge. We have freedom of speech, but what about the freedom of silence?

    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.

    A lot of controversy comes up on the matter of spanking children. A growing number of parents are using rather calm approaches to their kids misbehaving. Yet, many still spank their children and unfortunately, some do more. In public, though, it is a different story. Most people these days feel uncomfortable spanking their children in public because they feel like they're being judged.
