Originaltext der Frage(n):<br /> <br /> Wie vereinbart die Bundeskanzlerin ihren Eid auf das Grundgesetz (Artikel 64 Absatz 2 GG i. V. m. Artikel 56 GG) mit ihrer Erklärung „Ich freue mich darüber, dass es gelungen ist, bin Laden zu töten“ (Pressestatement Dr. Angela Merkel, 2. Mai 2011), insbesondere in Hinblick auf die Artikel 1 und 2 Absatz 2, Artikel 102 GG unter dem Aspekt, dass das Grundgesetz die Würde des Menschen als so hoch erachtet, dass die Todesstrafe und mithin auch die gezielte Tötung eines Menschen ausgeschlossen ist, gleichgültig wie schwerwiegend die von ihm begangenen Verbrechen sind und somit die „Freude“ über den Tod eines Menschen durch ein Mitglied eines Verfassungsorgans, hier der Bundesregierung, im Gegensatz zu dieser verfassungsrechtlichen Werteentscheidung steht?

Arbitration Fairness Act of 2011 - Declares that no predispute arbitration agreement shall be valid or enforceable if it requires arbitration of an employment, consumer, or civil rights dispute. Declares, further, that the validity and enforceability of an agreement to arbitrate shall be determined by a court, under federal law, rather than an arbitrator, irrespective of whether the party resisting arbitration challenges the arbitration agreement specifically or in conjunction with other terms of the contract containing such agreement. Exempts from this Act arbitration provisions in a contract between an employer and a labor organization or between labor organizations. Denies to any such arbitration provision, however, the effect of waiving the right of an employee to seek judicial enforcement of a right arising under the U.S. Constitution, a state constitution, a federal or state statute, or related public policy.

Constitutional Amendment - Authorizes the repeal of any federal law or regulation when the legislatures of two-thirds of the states approve resolutions for this purpose that particularly describe the provisions to be repealed.
