"Tom Sixkiller" wrote in message ... Now look up the terms in Blacks Law Dictionary. The request was for an authoritative source so an authoritative source was provided. If you're interested in what Blacks Law Dictionary says about it then look it up yourself. |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... How can small s states have jurisdiction over something they don't even define? Doesn't this happen all the time? Highway speed limits? School imperatives? Tons of stuff. I think it's just a way of cost-shifting, a bunch of federal laws (good or bad) that must be paid for by the states. |

"Peter Gottlieb" wrote in message .net... "Paul Sengupta" wrote in message ... "Peter Gottlieb" wrote in message news That being said, the death penalty doesn't seem to be a very effective deterrent anyhow. It certainly cuts down on the number of re-offenders... Like suicide bombers in Israel, there seems to be no shortage of new offenders. Not entirely true. When they threatened to wrap them in pork skins, or threatened their families, the rate dropped perceptibly. (It's a tough world out there in the "real" world). |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... "Tom Sixkiller" wrote in message ... Yes...if that were the case, which it isn't. Well, which is it then? Is "murder" defined at the state level or not? Yes. They don't...which is why the United STATES is compriased of the various "states" (small 's'). How can small s states have jurisdiction over something they don't even define? They do define it. You don't know what the term "state" means, what the term "murder" means, or what the legal definition of "human being" means either. Can you provide the definitions? Black's Law Dictionary, which I already referred you to. (I'm not about to transcribe 20 pages if you insist on using terms from your minister (?), rather than from your lawyer). |

I think it's just a way of cost-shifting, a bunch of federal laws (good or bad) that must be paid for by the states. It used to be a cliché, "Don't make a Federal case out of it...", but now that's the rule rather than the exception (another cliché). |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... "Tom Sixkiller" wrote in message ... Now look up the terms in Blacks Law Dictionary. The request was for an authoritative source so an authoritative source was provided. Not for legal definitons, it's not. If you're interested in what Blacks Law Dictionary says about it then look it up yourself. I already did. Now you need to comprehend what is an appropriate "authoritative source" when it comes to legal terms. You also need to understand that biology texts are not an "authoritative source" when using philosophic terms like "autonomous" and "human being", nor when using them in a legal context. |

"Tom Sixkiller" wrote in message ... Yes. I thought so. Black's Law Dictionary, which I already referred you to. (I'm not about to transcribe 20 pages if you insist on using terms from your minister (?), rather than from your lawyer). A simple "No." would have sufficed. I don't have a minister. |

"Tom Sixkiller" wrote in message ... Not for legal definitons, it's not. He didn't ask for a legal definition. I already did. Now you need to comprehend what is an appropriate "authoritative source" when it comes to legal terms. Fetus is a medical term. You need to comprehend what is an appropriate "authoritative source" when it comes to medical terms. You also need to understand that biology texts are not an "authoritative source" when using philosophic terms like "autonomous" and "human being", nor when using them in a legal context. You need to understand law texts are not an "authoritative source" when using medical terms. |
