Preserving Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act of 2012 - Prohibits a person or entity acting under the authority of (or funded in whole or in part by) the federal government from using a drone to gather evidence or other information pertaining to criminal conduct or conduct in violation of a statute or regulation except to the extent authorized in a warrant satisfying the requirements of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. Defines a "drone" as any powered, aerial vehicle that: (1) does not carry a human operator; (2) uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift; and (3) can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely, be expendable or recoverable, and carry a lethal or nonlethal payload. Exempts from such prohibition the use of drones to: (1) patrol national borders to prevent or deter illegal entry of any persons or illegal substances, (2) prevent imminent danger to life when drones are used by law enforcement under exigent circumstances, or (3) counter a high risk of a terrorist attack by a specific individual or organization based on credible intelligence determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS). Authorizes civil actions by aggrieved parties. Prohibits evidence obtained or collected in violation of this Act from being admissible in a criminal prosecution in any court in the United States.

Justice Exists for All of Us Act of 2012 - Prohibits a state, for each fiscal year beginning after three years after enactment of this Act, from having in effect a law or policy that: (1) allows a person to use deadly force when such person is threatened and that does not, except where the person is a victim of domestic violence, impose a duty to retreat before using such force in any place where that person is lawfully present (commonly known as a "stand your ground law"); or (2) allows the establishment, organization, or operation of, or participation in, a Neighborhood Watch program that is not registered with the local law enforcement agency and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Allows the Attorney General to authorize up to two one-year extensions of such deadline. Provides that a state that fails to substantially implement this Act for any fiscal year shall not receive 20% of the funds that would otherwise be allocated to it under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program. Provides for alternative procedures for compliance by a state that is unable to substantially implement this Act because of a conflict with the state's constitution.

Sieht die Bundesregierung einen Widerspruch zwischen dem geplanten Betreuungsgeld und der Gleichberechtigungsgarantie des Staates nach Artikel 3 Absatz 2 des Grundgesetzes (GG), wonach er die Gleichberechtigung von Frauen und Männern fördern und bestehende Nachteile beseitigen muss, und wenn nein, warum nicht?<br />
<br />
Hat die Bundesregierung die realen Wirkungsbedingungen der geplanten Regelung zur Einführung eines Betreuungsgeldes im Sinne des Artikels 3 Absatz 2 GG geprüft, und wenn ja, zu welchem Ergebnis ist sie gekommen?<br />
<br />
Trägt nach Ansicht der Bundesregierung das Betreuungsgeld dem Gebot einer folgerichtigen Gesetzgebung Rechnung, wenn auf der einen Seite kein Anspruch auf Betreuungsgeld bestehen soll für Kinder, die eine öffentlich geförderte Kindertagesbetreuung besuchen, aber auf der anderen Seite ein Anspruch bestehen soll für Kinder, die in privaten Betreuungsangeboten betreut werden, und wie begründet sie ihre Position dazu?

Welche Konsequenzen ergeben sich aus der Differenz zwischen der Schuldenbremse im Grundgesetz – GG – (Artikel 109 und 115 GG) und der Schuldenbremse des Fiskalpaktes, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die konjunkturellen Verschuldungsmöglichkeiten, die nach deutschem Verfassungsrecht bereits bei einer „Abweichung von der konjunkturellen Normallage“ möglich sind, nach Artikel 3 Absatz 3 Buchstabe b des Fiskalpaktes jedoch nur bei einem „schweren Konjunktureinbruch“ bestehen?<br />
<br />
Kann die Bundesregierung ausschließen, dass die Länder mit dem Inkrafttreten des Fiskalpaktes einem umfassenden und sanktionsbewerten Neuverschuldungsverbot unterstellt werden, bzw. kann ausgeschlossen werden, dass die bestehenden Übergangsfristen zum Abbau der strukturellen Finanzierungsdefizite gemäß Artikel 146d GG verkürzt werden?

Congressional Oversight of Afghanistan Agreements Act of 2012 - Directs the Legal Advisor to the Secretary of State to submit to Congress an unclassified report providing the justification for the President's decision to deny Congress its constitutionally protected role by concluding an agreement on the future of the security relationship between the United States and Afghanistan as an executive agreement.

Congressional Accountability in Budgeting and Spending Act - Amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to make it out of order in the House of Representatives or the Senate to consider any legislation to extend the statutory debt limit unless: (1) for FY2013 the concurrent budget resolution has been agreed to and is in effect, providing for an allocation of new discretionary budget authority for FY2013 of no more than $1.027 trillion (excluding emergency spending and Overseas Contingency Operations); (2) for subsequent fiscal years a concurrent budget resolution has been agreed to and is in effect; (3) for any fiscal year before FY2013 the President's budget request proposes a balanced budget within 10 fiscal years in which total outlays do not exceed 21.7% of the prior year's estimated U.S. gross domestic product (GDP); (4) House and Senate Rules require two-thirds approval to increase federal income tax rates and prohibit consideration of any measure deeming that a budget resolution has been agreed to; (5) any raising of the debt limit is prohibited while the government is being funded by a continuing resolution; and (6) Congress has agreed to a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Requires the Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to prepare for each major bill or resolution reported by any congressional committee a macroeconomic impact analysis of the costs of such legislation for: (1) the fiscal year in which the measure is to become effective, and (2) in each of the four following fiscal years. Permits waiver or suspension of this requirement only by a two-thirds vote in the House or the Senate. Defines "major bill or resolution" as any bill or resolution whose budgetary effects, for any fiscal year in the period for which a CBO cost estimate is prepared, is estimated to be greater than .25% of the current projected U.S. GDP for that fiscal year. Requires the analysis to describe: (1) the potential economic impact of the measure on major economic variables, including real GDP, business investment, the capital stock, employment, interest rates, and labor supply; and (2) the potential fiscal effects of the measure, including any estimates of revenue increases or decreases resulting from changes in GDP. Requires certain House committees to submit recommendations to the Committee on the Budget, which shall report to the House a reconciliation bill carrying them out without substantive revision.
