Uhh, no. That's not what's going on, and wouldn't work anyway.
These would be people arrested within the country, then removed, not people captured in combat.
The notion that those captured in combat are somehow entitled to legal process in novel, and contrary to the long established law of war.
Then again, the notion that we can arrest and declare people combatants is also novel. When the dust settles, I don't believe there will be anyone but battlefield prisoners not allowed some level of access to the courts.
Agility is *a* counterfactor to mass. Certain models, possibly because of the way they are driven, may be partial exceptions to the general rule. Nonetheless, the bottom line remains that reducing the average weight of vehicles increases deaths. There are a number of reasons for this, and some ways to offset the increased risks--although these could also be used in heavier cars.
>was during Reagan. His administration also introduced the >catalytic converter as a requirement, too
Wow, that Reagann could do *anything*. Mandating catalytic converters five years before he was elected. Wow.
Catalytic converters were the only way (almost) to meet emission requirements at the time. Thus, they appeared on every vehicle sold in the US starting in 1975, save for honda with that silly dual-chamber cvcc engine, which managed to put it off until 1979. Reagan was elected in 1980.
What's not mentioned here is the number of lives this will cost. Though I don't know it off the top of my hed, the number of lives lost per year per pound of removed mass on an automobile is a known figure. Yes, there are other safety mechanisms, but to deny that lighter cars cost lives is simply dishonest (but you may honestly argue that the tradeoff is worthwhile).

I am an attorney, but this is not legal advice. If you need legal advice, pay for it!
However, the federal courts and US Constitution have their own ideas of "indefinitely."
There is no fixed limit, but when it is clear that incarceration won't solve the matter, it pretty much has to end. Also,there are issues that come up at about six months.
A federal habeas corpus writ would certainly release someone who had been held on contempt charges for two years in such cases.
I haven't seen *adversarial* in my travels to various Frys.
Clueless, inept, indifferent, incompetent, can't speak English, etc., all the time. Adversarial, however, would take effort and thought.
OTOH, the one here in Las Vegas is generally stocked with employees that find you and help you--in English! My father and brother think I'm making it up, but I can still prove that it's a Fry's by the near impossibility of exiting the parking lot . . .
[It's south of almost everything in Las Vegas, and you can only exit heading South (it's shortly after the Strip). To turn North (or East, for that matter), you have to make a mad dash across a couple of lanes in the rare gap in traffic. Oh, and believe it or not, it's a destination for Chinese tour groups--tour buses will stop in front disgorging entire loads of eager Chinese on a regular basis.]

I am a lawyer, but this is not legal advice. If you want legal advice, make arrangements to pay my retainer.
This is just plain wrong.
In bankruptcy, judgments are unsecured claims. They do not have th special status you suggest.
Certain types of claim are exempt from discharge, such as student loans (during the first few years of payment, but sometimes even then), child support, and recent tax debt. The exception that may apply here is "intentionally caused harm"--but I don't know that it has ever been litigated for a copyright claim.

Actually, if you look at the studies, liberal arts majors do *better* than business majors in business. Sure, their chances of getting a reasonably paying job in their major field are close to the proverbial ice cube's chance, but . . .

For all they know, putting a roll of paper in your mouth and breathing through it could be what caused cancer, and not all the known carcinogens in the smoke that was inhaled. Well *that* will certainly make those folks that spent years rolling mouse-sized cigarettes feel foolish . . .:)

I am a lawyer, but this is not legal advice. For that matter, I'm not a patent lawyer.
That said, the standard for "obviousness" is roughly whether or not it would be obvious to someone with a Bachelor's degree in that field.
No, I'm not going to argue that that standard is applied often enough, but that's the standard that *is supposed to be* applied.

Actually, if you look at the amount the jury chose, it's not far off from the harmonic mean of the minimum and maximum statutory damages.
