>The details about software (6. D. i. - iv.) appear to be overly specific for this type of document.
About the software details: I’m a programmer so that explains that.. somewhat. Another thing to consider is the current “Software Piracy”/copyright laws are such that legal backups... are questionable.
>I disagree with 8. a. ii.
While you disagree with 8-ii, I believe there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the “embryo” is another discrete human being as it is genetically distinct from its parents at the time of fertilization (biology def); brain-waves have been detected at 6 weeks (current medical def for “vegetative states”); the heart begins beating at 3 weeks.
Furthermore, the USSC disregarded state sovereignty when it unilaterally disallowed legal-bars on abortion and made abortion a “Constitutional right”... to undo that decision needs a Constitutional Amendment.
I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on this point.
>8. a. v. seems a bit harsh.
Ah, but I like the cruelty here: consider it revenge for the legal system ignoring the right to a *SPEEDY* and public trial.
>8. b. overall seems redundant. Why differentiate between forcible rape regardless of when/where/how it was performed? I understand that the interstate part might be “required” for it to elevate to a federal issue, but I don’t think that requirement is sound - especially in light of the example of 8. a.
The interstate issue IS required to make it a Federal issue.
>Punishment for 8. e. (Conspiracy against rights) seems a bit lenient.
By defining what a Dollar is in Gold weight $1 would be worth about $55.
>For 8. f. punishments should be extended to and defined for employers or others who harbor illegals.
That wouldn’t need to be a Constitutional Amendment, I think... besides which, Interstate Fraud may come into play.
>For 8. g. (Perjury) additional punishment should be extended to those in the public trust who perjure themselves (police, politicians, prosecutors, judges, etc.)
I was thinking about that, but I thought that the ‘mirroring’ of whatever punishment was at the perjured trial was a more Just sentence overall. (Besides which, if a policeman were to perjure himself, by say lying about someone shooting him [in self-defense] then the penalty of that assault charge he leveled at that person would come right back at him.)
