This article describes how HOA's got so bad as to the police being called when their rules are violated and the fact that they wouldn't allow someone to build a deck on their house. This would be the point when they go too far with not letting homeowners make any type of changes to their house.

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.

Kentucky and North Carolina have passed Racial Justice Acts to counter systemic racial bias in the unfair sentencing of African Americans to the death penalty for killing whites. Statistical data shows there's is significant bias in the administration of the death penalty yet in two major cases before the Supreme Court, the Court ruled in favor of systemic injustice and upheld the death penalty in both cases. The Racial Justice Acts passed by Kentucky and North Carolina are a step in the right direction to remove systemic bias.

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.

I understand that Arizona is just trying to stop immigration but some of the laws and rules taking place are making it seem like it is allowed to racial profile. Though that may not be the case. People are thinking that if you look Mexican then the police can pull you over but I reality there most likely not going to do that. If you get pulled over for speeding and then for some reason the cop thinks you could be illegal then he can ask for paper work. I get that the law seems racial, but Arizonans should not care so much if your a citizen and have nothing to hide.

Arizona immigration laws have consistently supported racial profiling and make it difficult for legal Latinos to avoid being harassed, interrogated and detained unlawfully. State laws should be fair and adhere with constitutional freedoms afforded all citizens. If you're an American citizen, you're afforded the same rights as other citizens and should not be detained unlawfully because you "look like an immigrant". This is where Arizona crosses the line with it's immigration laws.

I understand how these immigration laws here in Arizona can make people feel, however i feel like if i have nothing to hide whats the problem. I still don't like the fact that it makes it so easy for police to racial profile because its almost insulting to get pulled over for no reason except skin color. I have seen cops pull people over just for skin color, especially in the northern part of Arizona and its wrong.

Every now and then the Supreme Court will get a case based on religion. In these cases the court will have to decide whether or not the religion should be excepted or not. One case taken to the court that was said to be illegal was about a coach in New Jersey who prayed with his team before games. This left people angry over the fact that they believe religious displays should not be illegal. This issue has also brought up the question on whether freedom of speech is also being taken away when the Supreme Court rules against displays of religion.
