A:  1. does a civil summary judgement for fraud constitute the "fraud" that the bankruptcy law refers to? No, a summary judgment does nto do it, you will have to try the case in bankruptcy court for a detyermination of fraud. 2. Can the lien *ever* be removed through future bankruptcies? If it is not challenged. A state court judgment for fraud if the fraud elements are the same in state law as they are in the Bankruptcy Code, may entitle you to prevail on a nondischargeability action in bankruptcy. Put another way, even if you have a judgment for fraud, you still need to FILE the adversary in bankruptcy. You may not have to do much to get a judgment from the bankruptcy court due...

A:  EDIT: No. The constitution does not say ''ONLY the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases ...'' It does have original jurisdiction, but that doesn''t mean no one else has jurisdiction! They can certainly ask the Supreme Court to take the case now, eitehr on direct appeal or to argue it de novo. They have absolutely zero chance it will do so. The Supreme Court recognizes that, contrary to your position, the District Court HAS jurisdiction by virtue of Congressional statutes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject-mat… and like most cases where a state is a party they will wait for it reach them through the appeals process. MANY cases...

A:  No rights are absolute. (Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, for example.) Religious practices that violate neutral laws that have have a legitimate purpose can be illegal: Including laws against polygamy, human sacrifice or other forms of abuse, etc. And the US Supreme Court agreed in Reynolds vs US in the 1880s. Your church can actually make any rules it wants without interference. If you as a member do something that breaks a civil law, you go to jail - even if your church told you it was ok. Breaking the law because of religion has never been allowed If it were, there would be Holy Church of Bank Robbers and the jails would be empty. Despite the absolute terms, the first amendment has never been construed in absolute terms....

I can imagine that the level of interest that the Feds place in fighting this will depend on the results of November''s elections. @boomerang, Dident we fight a war over this in the 1850 0r 1860''s. Even the tribes are supposed to adhere to the constitution and fedreal law. Not that I dont agree that a legal union should be recognized by government. @rabel22, Tribal law is complicated and it''s interaction with federal law is even more complicated. It is WAY over my head, which is why I asked here. But yes, I believe Tribal law is subordinate to federal law.

A:  If this law is applied prospectively, then this is not an impairment of the obligation of contracts. The very clause first conceives a contract is already in existence and some later act of the legislature seeks to nullify part of the already existing contract or all of it. Article I, section 10, does not, as you assume otherwise, preclude the state from passing legislation which will undoubtedly affect future but presently non-existent contracts. James Wilson, a Framer, understood this provision to apply prospectivley. Quote:James Wilson of Pennsylvania noted that the unforeseen circumstance was still within the legislative power since the clause prohibited "retrospective interferences only." Indeed, the facts of the early cases...
