When: This event happened in January 2014.

Officials are trying to use this method of a way to find more evidence to convict wrongful criminals of. Yet, the Supreme Court is deciding whether is this good or bad thing to approve.
Opinion: Personally, I think its wrong to invade someone's private information, however, if it requires the law for them to search a suspect, then I do not mind. I think it would be a good way to prove either people innocent of their conviction or guilty.
Relations to Civics: This article relates to Civics because in the article, it talks about the fourth amendment, which is what we covered in class, and the Bill of Rights that people are entitled to have.

5. Opinion: I just feel that these women should have just dealt with it without disrespecting the Christian faith.
6. Connection: this article relates to something I've learned Civics because of the First Amendment where it talks about separating religion from the government. These women did not to be involved in religious acts when they are supposed to be getting involved in a board meeting.

People are being sentenced in jail for a very long time base on what their private information. The public officials were using this way to help them find more evidence on a criminal. The Supreme court has still yet not figure out if it's a good or bad thing.
Opinion: My opinion is that they should not invade other people privacy, no matter if they are being convicted. The court can go about the evidence they are ready have.
Relation: This relate to civics because it's basically about the fourth amendment and in class we talked about the fourth amendment. People rights were being broking.

Who: This article is about same-sex marriages
ReplyDeleteWhere: This took place in the state of Nevada.
When: This was on Tuesday February 11, 2014.
What: This article is about Nevada banning gay- marriages. Because they were denied of those ruling they also felt that it should be the same for heterosexual spouses. then later it was said that this denied is unconstitutional. by the end they have come to the realization that its really based off of people opinions and all about justice.
Opinion: My opinion about this article is that I feel like people really should not dictate who you can and cannot marry based of your religion or not. Every citizen can choose there own religion so there for you can choose who you love and who you want to spend it with for the rest of your lives. it should not matter what people do in their lives it has nothing to do with the people that is for it or against it.

Who: Judge G. Todd Baugh, Montana Judicial Standards Commission, the Supreme Court, !4-year old rape victim
ReplyDeleteWhere: Billings, Montana.
When: The article was published on February 18, 2014 but the actual incident happened earlier in that month. No actual date was given.
What: The article is about a Montana judge, Judge G. Todd Bough, who is being criticized by not only critics, but also the Montana Judicial Standards Commission for making inappropriate comments about a 14-year old rape victim. Despite this hinderance in his career, the judge did in fact admit that he handled the case recklessly and sought for a punishment by the Supreme Court.
Opinion: I agree with the critics and with the Montana Judicial Standards Commission because in my opinion, the judge could have definitely handled the case in a fair way and be professional about it. He deserves to be reprimanded for this reckless behavior, not to mention that he also gave such a lenient punishment to the rapist for committing a serious crime.
Connection: I cannot really connect this article to any other case that I have learned in Civics class but I can say that it gives me a clear vision of how the higher courts, judges and government deals with a breach in their own system or the way they handle things, which may not always be fair to the people.

This event took place in Arizona.
3. When did the event happen?
This event occurred on April 2012.
4. What is the article about? (MINIMUM 3 SENTENCES)
This article is about whether a fetus can feel pain before or after 20 weeks. This article is also about women having abortions after 20 weeks in Arizona. The governor of Arizona wants Arizona to be the top pro-life state. Therefore, that is why she passed and signed the law to prevent women from getting abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The Supreme Court made a decision not to hear this case which made many people upset.
5. What is your opinion of this article?
My opinion on this article is that women should have a choice and a voice. A women could want an abortion for many reasons. Who gives anyone the right to tell them what to do with their bodies. I also think that how can they be sure what a fetus feels if it cant tell them.
6. How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics?
This article relates to civics because it talks about due process. The government is violating the right of your due process. Which is the right to life, liberty, and property.

4. What is the article about? This article is about a high school and how they have violated the student's rights. In the beginning of the day, students in a public school were required to read at least ten bible verses. Parents felt like getting students to participate in religious activities was violating their rights. The parents were allowed to send a note to excuse them from that, but lawyers argued that it did not matter because it still violated their rights.
5. What is your opinion of this article? My opinion is that these people send their kids to a public school for a reason and if they wanted some catholic influence then they should have went to catholic school. I do agree that it is violating their rights because parents did not see this as a thing they had to worry about.
6. How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics? This article relates to the first amendment which gives people freedom of religion. Some people do not practice what the bible teaches and what they had to do goes against what some families did not agree with. This violates their right in the first amendment.

4. What is the article about? (MINIMUM 3 SENTENCES) This article is about having a same sex relationship and getting married. Many states really disapprove this issue and in the article they where addressing why the issue was treated as such and also gave a background story about two female lovers who got married and went to fight for their right to love freely like any other man or woman.
5. What is your opinion of this article? I believe there is no reason for the issue to be this big because we are all human and should be able to love who ever and what ever we love. Who are we to tell someone they can't love another? i think there are other serious problems to deal with such as global warming and other earthly problems the government should be looking into but i guess they put things like this on the news to make it seem like they are doing something, when in all reality they are doing nothing but breaking hearts and being a bump in the road.
6. How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics? (if your answer is, “it doesn’t” or “I don’t know,” you need to find another article that you can use to make a connection to Civics.) This article relates to civics because of discrimination in sexual orientation, meaning that they are saying you can't get married in this state because your are both male or both female.which causes them to loose certain right that regular couples do.. its almost like racism just not skin..but in interest.

The article is about how Arizona officials want to ban abortions, except in the case of a medical emergency. They wanted to ban abortions after 20 weeks, because the fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks.

5. What is your opinion of this article?
I think that the Supreme Court is correct with their decision it is a woman's right. I also believe that the whole idea of abortion is wrong. It might sound a bit contradicting but I think people should have th right i just believe it's morally wrong.

4. What is the article about? (MINIMUM 3 SENTENCES)
This article is about the supreme court decision made democracy worse. The Prop 8 ruling definitely made democracy worse because for one, it was overturned, causing the California's elected officials the refusal of appeal. Also, the court ignored didn't really care about the issue of gay marriage, and instead held that the anti-gay-marriage advocates couldn't show they were harmed by the state government's decision to ignore acting about or against it.
5. What is your opinion of this article?
My opinion on this article is that the fact that the court decided to ignore something as controversial as gay marriage is wrong. People has been fighting for gay marriage for years and yet the court wanted to somehow overturn a law or whatever. That's just not right

who: This Articles is about Linda Stephens , an atheist who feels her rights are being violated in a community meeting.
ReplyDeletewhere: The meetings that followed to a supreme court review was set place in Greece, New York.
When: This event happened on November 1st of 2013.
What: This article is about how the plantiff, Linda Stephens, she felt her rights were violated during a town meeting where she was made to participate in group prayer while she did not believe in God. When she told this to her peers they told her she should shut her ears or step outside. Though Stephens believe that she should not have to and this is unconstitutional as government and politics should not be mixed with the religious beliefs of others.
Opinion: I agree with Stephens but I also feel this case is conflicted. I say this because although the Constitution separates government form politics it also says in the first amendment that there is a freedom of exorcising your religion.
How does this relate to civics; This relates to civics because it ties in to our chapter five review of the amendments. in the article Stephens references that Constitution establishment states that religion should not influence political organizations.

3. When did the event happen? The events occurred Monday February 17th,2014.
4. What is the article about? (MINIMUM 3 SENTENCES) The article went over three different court cases the first being Air Wisconsin Airlines Corp. V. Hoeper where the court threw out a 1.2 million dollar award to pilot William Hoeper due to the fact that he failed his test in order to qualify to fly and was fired. The second case was about how the supreme court threw out a case filed by steelworkers where they wanted to get paid during the time they get into uniform. The third case involved a drug dealer being charged for murder because he sold some illegal drugs to a client who died (O.D.) due to his drugs.
5. What is your opinion of this article? This article was interesting, yet I find it to be a little confusing especially the first case where they never really mentioned what exactly he was charged with specifically.
