Just wondering, has there been ANY verified votes cast by any unlawfully registered "person"?..Because I thought there isn't voter fraud unless an illegal vote is actually cast, but I'm not a lawyer.

When I moved from Ca. in 05, this is my experience. In Sept 04 I had purchased and registered a new car in Ca.. That registration cost me $243. I registered that same car in Nv 6 months later and my fee was $448. Not only that I paid my insurance premium before moving here and had to pay another $80 for the very same policy in Las Vegas. So it cost just $38 less than twice as much to register in Nv. as compared with Ca.. Insurance premium was approx. 16-17% more here in Nv..

Which of you Rhodes Scholars forgot that she was first appointed to the Federal Bench by GHW Bush? Oh excuse me you all did....

pasyun8pshych..Unemployment began being taxed in the first half of the 80's..Our president initiated this tax along with a tax on Social Security Benefits to attempt balancing the revenues lost in the huge tax cuts for the rich. At first Unemployment was taxable if other taxable income topped $22,000, now any and all is taxable. Tax on SSB was set in two steps determined by adding 1/2 of your SSB with your taxable income..if your total was over $25,000 you were subject to tax on that portion ($25,00+)
at 50% of that sum..if you had a combined total above $37,500 then that portion is taxed at 85%..Those are for a single taxpayer..the thresholds for jointly filed returns are higher but taxed at the 50 or 85% rates. The thresholds have remained unchanged in the 23+ years since SSB became taxable..I personally believe the thresholds should be adjusted for only inflation at very least..
I do receive Social Security payments along with a small retirement check.

Have you actually read the minority opinion? More importantly do you realize how many of these prisoners were detained in the first place? Many were reported by angry relatives, neighbors and local chieftains. Some were ordinary criminals but were reported by rival gangs/groups solely to remove their competition..
Many of these detainees were recruited in detention, their abuse at our hand led them to join the jihadists. Affiliations non-existant upon their arrest but firmly instilled in them by the conditions of their detainment, physical and mental abuses.
We have created the best recruiting ground for the spread of terrorism in our own facilities..by wrongful detention and the use of torture on many innocent, non-combatant men.

Torture can never be advocated, utilized or accepted on America's behalf. We reduce our own honor, reputation and world leading position as advocates for human rights and the moral treatment of men.

Shame on those who label a detainee as a jihadist, enemy combatant solely because they have beem detained. History has shown many such detainees have been wrongfully held and abused.

Terrorists can and have been sentenced by our judicial system. If there is sufficent proof to show that case to be beyond a reasonable doubt, them bring them to trial. Lacking that proof could never make right our acts upon those innocent men.
