    - We do have a say in the court in a couple of ways. - Inigo Jun 3, 07:41
    - I don't want limits. I don't want some court pandering to voters. -- nm - Bacon Jun 3, 07:37 3
      - I don't see how term limits would change this one way or the other. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 3, 07:39
      - I'm not saying we should vote for them but they shouldn't get to have the job for life. - Krusty Jun 3, 07:39
      - yeah, that is why i dislike states that want judges to be run under a Party, i dont think that is needed - tRuMaN Jun 3, 07:39

- Tip: don't break the law and they won't take your DNA -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 07:22 14
  - They're not breaking the law in every case. If you're arrested they take your DNA. People get arrested for things they didn't do all the time. - Krusty Jun 3, 07:24 8
    - [deleted] 5
      - I agree completely. I'm against taking their DNA at any point but even moreso when it's not someone who's been convicted. - Krusty Jun 3, 07:31 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I bet there are plently of people that would be fine with that too. As for the fighting crime, I could see where - Krusty Jun 3, 07:34 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        It's great that they were able to use it to solve that crime but I still have an issue with how they obtained the DNA. - Krusty Jun 3, 07:43
    - nope I agree. It will be interesting to see though if the police start arresting people just to get their DNA and compare it to other open cases -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 07:25 1
      - That's another worry. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 07:37
  - ahh, read that too fast; yeah just being arrested seems harsh, convicted all for it; but otherwise too much -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 07:23 1
    - I read too quickly too. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 07:24

- :-( Best of luck finding new work. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 06:38 7
