Could this include marriage, driver's privileges and so on? I think so.

A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.
No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due.

For those who criticized Bush and showed him tearing the head off the Statue of Liberty, comparing him to Hitler and so on.... to me have no right to claim ANY ONE of these signs obscene or offensive because when it was their turn they had done the EXACT SAME thing.
It's fucking hypocritical to say "the signs against Obama are offensive and bad" when you did it to Bush.
I feel the same way about those who were calling foul and saying how offensive signs and so on were aginst Bush, yet now they carry those signs against Obama.
Hypocrites are abundant on both sides.
