"Influences on Judicial Decision Making"
From the e-Activity, describe at least three (3) influences on decision making by a judge. Indicate at least two (2) reasons why you believe these influences are the most influential to the process. Justify your response.
Three influences on decision making by a judge consist of as follows:
• Localism
• Region to region differentiation in administering law and making decisions
• Impact of public opinion
Two reasons why I believe these influences are the most influential to the process of decision making is first the locality has different laws and procedures to follow as well as each region has different structuralized courts and as thus each court has different regulations and procedures in each court room. Further each court is bound pretty much by public opinion because nothing can be facilitated or carried out unless there is a reasonable degree of public support.
Attorney Joe Smith has established regular interactions with many of the local judges in the town where his practice is located and has built professional relationships with them. Discuss at least two (2) advantages that Joe’s professional relationships would afford him if he wants to postpone a case until a more favorable judge is available. Provide a rationale for your response.
Two advantages that Joe’s professional relationship would afford him if he wants to postpone a case until a more favorable judge is available would be due to familiarity, reputation for honesty and fairness in profession and presenting of case and the possibility of having his case be viewed more favorably before his presentation.
As in all cases, the more the possibility of selecting a judge that has tendency toward leniency in a direction is always a facilitory purpose in acquiring the ultimate goal of winning and who may be more open toward delicate cases.
Thank you.

WEEK 7 - DISCUSSION 1
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree with your points about decision making but a judge has to be careful to not become overly familiar in any case and must remain distant.
Also, a professional relationship does not include a tête-à-tête or where the meetings can be viewed as compromise. Separating and distancing becomes difficult and I feel objectivity is questionable.
Thank you.

John, a married, law-abiding, father of two children is serving as a juror in a trial where a child had been murdered. Determine the significant impact that a juror from the described demographic could potentially have in the outcome of this particular criminal trial. Provide rationale in your response.
The significant impact from a juror in a described demographic that had a child murder in its locality includes a preconceived thought or judgment, emotional status, lack of objectivity and a close-end narrow perception. As such if one or more has the thought or make-up received as everyday acceptance the act of facilitating good fair analysis, critiquing, judgment would be biased due to outlook and perceived thought and could sway the count whether defendant is indeed the guilty party or not. Overt exposure to conditional stimuli causes a prevalency to make a judgment against the defendant if the case has not been presented favorably to ensure a fair trial.
Analyze at least three (3) overall differences between criminal and civil court proceedings. Discuss the fundamental reasons why you believe that these differences are the most notable. Justify your response.
Three overall differences between criminal and civil court proceedings are:
1. Conduction of courts as relates to prior decisions of cases in common law system prevailed upon to render judgment vs those in the civil law system that is dependent upon written code to facilitate judgment.
2. Presentation of cases and applicable use of laws in the criminal court and statutes or coding in the civil court.
3. Designation of judgments in the civil court vs the rendering of sentencing in criminal court. Civil court either renders a judgment based on various applicable matter (property settlement, outstanding debts, child custody, divorce, etc.) whereas criminal court renders a judgment based on a criminal act that allows the sentencing of time in prison.
The fundamental reasons why these differences are most notable is because they allow a more specialized approach in each case and as with all specialties the knowledge to process is easier to separate and judge instead of one court processing all. A thorough process and procedure is established to control and maintain fairness in both courts and retain the standard and procedures in both cases.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree that John being a father can cause him to be empathetic and resentful of the child’s murder and it can cause a sociological effect of fear in the populace, intimidation, inner grieving and disgust at the magnitude of the crime. Further his psychological view could possibly be affected and cause him to view the person as a monster that should be locked up.
I agree with your post on the differences between civil and criminal court proceedings. Civil court is indeed a changeable scene because each case is different and each has a different face, end and judgment. But the criminal court is indeed an intricate matter of asserting the law with the rod.
Thank you.

"Sandusky Motion for a New Trial"
From the e-Activity, summarize at least two (2) arguments presented for and against granting Sandusky’s motion for a new criminal trial. Identify the most likely factors that you believe would support the judge’s decision to grant a new trial. Provide a rationale for your response.
Two arguments presented for and against Sandusky’s motion for a new criminal trial consist of first the due process clause which effectively states that any said defendant has the right to enact the Fifth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment to protect self against any self-incrimination in any case of law. The agreeable purpose of the Fifth first allows the interpretation of laws, scope, person, and acts of continued liberty to be facilitated. Based upon Clause 39 of Magna Carta protection is enacted and facilitated to prevent seizure, stripping unless by acts of equal.
In effect the laws, land and liberty must be addressed, substantiated, and proved without doubt of guilt and not by unproved assertions. Active in all knowledge is that the non-facilitated assertions are remandated to slurs, slander and hearsay which has no basis unless founded in evidential evidence of clearness, clarity and right. Therefore, the act of the Fourteenth further supports the standing of due process and in the case of incorrectness it is a fiduciary that stands alone.
The scope is realistically bound in details of actuality, truth and proven as done in finality. Because of this the entire rebound is allowable and cast disparity and any change asserted because upon the prevalence of truth those assertions or allegations become mute, useless, void and viewed suspiciously as untrue.
In active consideration of person, it allows the view of the Fifth to stand as a person to concurrently protect the equitable thought of “person” to legal person or individual during any court proceeding and as such it protects the act of remaining “mum” throughout to not incur a penalty of self-persecution.
Lastly, the effect of liberty is not only the protection of the bodily but the protection of the freedom to life without pretension. As such the effective correct conduct cannot be hindered unless clarity in judgment is faulty and conclusive.
Consequently, due process has not been proven to be given or enacted and therefore a new trial can be facilitated due to the active and non-active factual basis of assertions without detail or procedural process that was neglected and escalated during the case without sealed and concluded evidence.
Secondly, in the manner of hearsay and the testimonial process this level of acceptance is immeasurably done by the judge and jury to determine the true and applicable purpose of acceptable, usable testimony. Any testimony levied against the defendant is effectively going to be considered an actual rendering of scenario facts or a non-conclusive detailed scenario that does not correlate or actively relate to the case. If there was not time to contemplate and reflect on submission of testimony to foil and thrust and repudiate testimony then it reflects and actively pulls on lack of due process again and reflect that the hearsay testimony can be determined null, void and entrapment.
Since the prevalence of hearsay testimony is dependent on inner courtroom dispersement and its inner connectively it is also applicable to cross examination that includes the level of its correlativity and as such it is always questioned. Therefore, if hearsay is questionable also is the cross-examination process. Thus the act of being admissible becomes a question, a stall and sometimes a fault.
In consequence, the usage of hearsay can be effectively challenged and if summarily judged as compromised it too can all be discarded and become a basis for a new trial if conviction was heavily dependent upon hearsay. But if hearsay is not comprimisable then it can stand as a facet of conviction but not in its entirety.
Therefore, the due process clause and hearsay that was or has the ability to be viewed as compromisable can cause a judge to grant a new trial based upon the motion to submit and as explanatory basis of findings to reconcile.
In the event that Sandusky were to be granted a new trial, discuss two (2) specific aspects of the case that you believe the defense and prosecuting attorneys would alter in their new arguments. Provide a rationale for your response.
In effect of defense attorney the act of proving the allegations or assertions are false would be one attack, next the witness or hearsay would be attacked, examined and determined why not reported earlier with further cross-examination with streamlining the counts to depict and pinpoint allegations to specifics.
As the prosecuting attorney the altering of position would include the pursuit, foil and thrust against argument of hearsay, protective stance against due process clause and any allegations against counts charged.
Therefore, in acting of either the prosecuting attorney or defendant the act becomes a dual of wit, legal and display. As thus, those best prepared have the ability to shred either opponent’s case or defend or offend as best they can.
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree with your points and post, the possibility of gaining a retrial could be based upon all facts of objection stated by his attorneys. Further I feel that the approach should have been different and since one can be tried for only one crime and not again for the same crime that the numerous charges or claims of misdoing all should have been staggered and his attorneys should have presented an overall attack to defend.
Also, since the statutory limitation should have caused dismissal and then there were the witnesses they could not interview, the expert in the field was not available along with two assistants.
As per the information that you listed, if I was his attorney I would have made a motion to postpone to facilitate questioning and view an analysis of the expert in the field.
The only thing I question is the amount of time, the disparity of memory and why the hesitation to cry for help a long time ago. But since the court case appears to be based on eight young men testimony, I feel that a retrial still could be possible.
Once again, feeling railroaded is what it amounts to if the defense argument states it had not enough time to query and question.

"Supporting the Constitution or Playing the Political Game"
From the second e-Activity, discuss whether or not you believe Attorney General Eric Holder should have challenged the voting laws in the state of Texas enacted after the Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. Analyze at least two (2) key issues related to Texas’s new voting laws that the Attorney General highlighted. Provide examples of rights covered by the Voting Rights Act to support your rationale.
No, I do not believe that Attorney General Eric Holder should have challenged the voting laws in the State of Texas. What I feel is the matter of restriction of any race in voting is parallel to weakness of thought, action and moral culpability.
Any race that is attributed to the constitution for protection is deserving of a voice to prevent acts that circumvent, hinder rights, liberty and freedom. Any action outside of this, I view as weak and trepidatious and a non-facilitator of my faith in the designated leaders to make laws, legalities that do not represent the entire populace fairly and would ultimately cause a desegregation and migratory pattern easier and then the step of apartheid accomplished.
Without a voice or vote man is nothing. If a Black man or African man or woman or any minority is nothing so is his ability to be considered American or his ability of fellowship or care in this country.
Apartheid in this united but segmented country is definitely not an act of true to the founders of this nation nor is it beneficial as an overall conglomerate. Overall, it is paramount to destruction and willful use of power to serve someone else’s agenda and not the entire populace that all collective states represent.
Consequently, because of this concern for minorities and Blacks are already considered as null and void with this future voting practice since they have no rights at all. At all. So, who has a dream now? (Resulting status, no amiability between the states and remission back to Civil War Era and circumvention of Democracy.)
Two key issues related to Texas’s new voting laws that Attorney General Holder highlighted pertains to evidence that was submitted to court which reflects that Texas Legislature deliberately discriminated against Hispanics with the redrawing of district lines which was enough to reimpose on the state the “preclearance safeguard” which is the allowance to notify and receive clearance of any and all changes to voting mechanism to prevent discriminatory practices.
The retainership of the Voting Rights Act was a long fought battle for minority voting and was summarily drafted by President Lyndon B, Johnson to prevent the overtaking and keeping the precedence of fair play and distributed unifying of thought and principle of justice and right to act and protect and retain a vote (voice) in America.
Attorney General Holder also urged Congress to reimpose more general preclearance requirements and that is with its inclusivity of the right at which federal courts could subject discriminatory non-covered jurisdiction to remedies contained in the special divisions. Therefore, any contentious jurisdiction would have the right to challenge and question the validity of any actions that are unfavorable and reflect discrimination.
The question of the validity of the poll is not in fact the act but the inability and subtle manipulation and act of intimidation is the facilitator and act against those considered contemptuous is thinly disguised by this voter id. Therefore, the disenfranchised minority is seen as mute anyway and why not at the polls as well because the perception is they are not cognizant. Students, seniors, Hispanics and Blacks are intelligent enough to understand and why are the student ids not allowable…are the students mute, stupid and useless too in America. Further being of any race should be enough to guarantee the right to choose, acknowledge that they are people and human and entitled to the guaranteed freedom this country claims as right.
The Voting Rights Act was written and compiled to defuse the acts of resistance of allowing Black people or African Americans the right to vote. Due to overall distress and unrest throughout the country President Johnson put in act this conciliatory measure and soothing of all in the nation to allow Blacks free access to vote.
As such the rights established continue to stand fast against acts of discrimination because of its stance or stand on the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Any act against the Fifteenth constitute to myself an act of treason against this nation and all therein. All are either with this country and act as one or against the unified joining of states that makes the United States. Further since the Act stands for a protected sect as thus it is interwoven as each thread in the United States Flag.
If Section 5 is removed as a challenge so does the effectiveness of the Voting Act become void and useless. Further it silences the vote and voice to all in these “so-called egregious voting districts” that are probably filled with people who are not cognizant or thought to be and silenced anyway.
Describe at least three (3) effects that the proposed regulation of voting laws in Texas could have on the next presidential election. Justify your response.
Three effects that the proposed regulation of voting laws can have on Texas consist of a clear shot for Republican domination at the polls, simultaneously affect other Republican states to move in similar manner and continue as a Republican state onward.
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
Response to First Opinion
In response to your post, Attorney General Eric Holder did not challenge the voting laws nor the Voting Rights Act (1965). .What he did was challenge the re-jurisdiction of lines in Texas and the possible exclusionary of large segments of the minority populace from being able to vote. This action in itself was an act that discriminated and made the impossibility of voting privileges disallowed because these actions silenced them effectively as putting a muzzle on.
The Voting Rights Act (1965) pulls on the Constitution of the United States as its back, support and power to weld authority and position and governance over all courts in this country. Further this law is like the blood in this country and gives all free right to vote as is the guarantee of freedom. The act is not unconstitutional but the deliberate discard of votes is. These segmented sections are referred to as egregious sections and as such they are viewed as heavily discriminated sections in Texas.
I agree the outpouring of funds that are desperately needed to survive is also a hindrance and deliberate ploy to stall and prevent the right and act of voting due to heavy impoverishment in these sectors.
Lastly, I agree all Americans deserve the right to vote to reflect their choice of their representative and authoritarian voice in this land of America.
Response to Second Opinion
I disagree with absolute finality, this regulation is biased and reflects acts of bigotry, hate and suppression and oppression acting as a dual sword. There is no way that any minority will be seen as a human thinking caring evolved person with the right to express their objections being crushed and all exposed to mass discrimination.
Frightened and intimidated is the huge segment of minorities by this violation of the Constitution and protective levels of the enacted Voting Rights Act of 1965 which was compiled to protect and allow free right to vote as man and woman at these polls. The acts of free thought and actions have to be maintained and prevailed upon to be considered a free upstanding American Citizen.
Thank you.

These segmented sections are referred to as egregious sections and as such they are viewed as heavily discriminated sections in Texas.
I agree the outpouring of funds that are desperately needed to survive is also a hindrance and deliberate ploy to stall and prevent the right and act of voting due to heavy impoverishment in these sectors.
Lastly, I agree all Americans deserve the right to vote to reflect their choice of their representative and authoritarian voice in this land of America.
Response to Second Opinion
I disagree with absolute finality, this regulation is biased and reflects acts of bigotry, hate and suppression and oppression acting as a dual sword. There is no way that any minority will be seen as a human thinking caring evolved person with the right to express their objections being crushed and all exposed to mass discrimination.
Frightened and intimidated is the huge segment of minorities by this violation of the Constitution and protective levels of the enacted Voting Rights Act of 1965 which was compiled to protect and allow free right to vote as man and woman at these polls. The acts of free thought and actions have to be maintained and prevailed upon to be considered a free upstanding American Citizen.
Thank you.

"The Court as Representing Public Opinion"
From the first e-Activity, identify two (2) major issues between the juror’s personal perception of the moral guilt of the defendant and her understanding of the legal issues in the case.
In consequence, the moral guilt of the defendant (George Zimmerman) is hard to ascertain because these emotional level are instilled, learned and facilitate continuance of hate, loathing, despising of a race in its entirety. Further the juror’s perception of the case which resolves around the defendant and the slain (Trayvon Martin – a slim built youth not capable of protecting himself long against someone heavier and stronger) altercation initiated by George who removed himself out of his car and took upon himself to attack Trayvon who has the natural right to try to defend self but was overpowered and shot. The question then comes to how far away was the shot, was there time to shoot in the air and apprehend safely, did he have the right to approach the “so-called” suspect when he was off-duty doing personal errands and what was the acts of suspicion that caused him to remand and gauge deadly force was needed and the slain was unarmed?
Lastly, does the act need a gun to prove mastery or a mind to gauge a clock correctly!
Further, in the case of the juror understanding of the legal issue regarding the case crying self-defense does not constitute right when he did not identify self and followed no set protocol but his own marching drum.
His job is to secure the security door and ensue no entry and call in any disruptions not attack someone outside the complex (Twin Lakes Housing Community) by being a bad caricature of Robocop.
According to him it was raining, and the supposed suspect (anyone Black) started running. Is it not possible he was hurrying to get out of the rain as soon as possible? So, what if he was looking at housing structures that does not prove “Intent”. When the slain started running did he know that Zimmerman had focused on him?
If he had no knowledge he had no reason to run…but Zimmerman made an altercation occur and caused violent struggle of a youth protecting self from stranger to occur and caused the death of Trayvon. His further actions point out that he feels one more Black was wiped off the earth as pertains to advertising of his gun for sale and proving violence against Blacks whether assault or murder is ok. Along as it is covered up.
In conclusion for the juror, to judge the case it must be shredded and analyzed with finality to drag the truth from it and render a verdict as to the legalities and correctness according to the law, the actions of the armed and unarmed.
In the case of moral vs legal, all situations do not cause a need for deadly force … a bruise on the head and grass and dirt on his back is simply not life threatening to me. A cut in the abdomen is a life threatening situation or any major impact of internal force with an object to restrict the blood flow and congealing around the entry to gush and cause the inability to not be able to cauterize and stop. Injuries of this nature or the welding of an object to cause injuries that will disable or stall and cause extreme slowness and allow the suspect to gain the upper hand causes a gauge to use deadly force not a mere scuffle in the grass. This is just amazing to me. The boy was executed pure and simple.
From the first e-Activity, describe key strategies that a judge would utilize in order to reconcile the discrepancy in perception of the George Zimmerman’s guilt or innocence. Provide a rationale for your response.
As a judge, my duty is to reconcile and ponder the facts of dismissal behavior of the rendering of the case placed against George Zimmerman for a judgment of guilt or innocence. Because of the right to due process and true examination of facts and his subsequent ability to defuse a situation and secure a citizen’s arrest with fairness. Unequivocally, I the judge would move for a dismissal of the jury’s decision due to lack of knowledge of the law and necessitate a trial to be done to equate fairness because of an infraction first against Trayvon’s civil rights, his wrongful death and be allowed to be readily compensated and lastly pass judgment on George Zimmerman as being guilty as charged of murder in the third degree.

Response to First Opinion
The predominant factor seems to be based on emotional thought vs the legal repercussions of the act of intent, stalking and supposed suspicious activity. Another thought is they (jurors – includes Juror B29) made a judgment based on the few details they were given … not the true exploratory of the crime itself or scenario in detail.
Since the knowledge of true police procedure was not known to Zimmerman. How could he possibly act within the realm of the law?
What I am saying is that the legal connotations were beyond his grasp and knowledge and as such he is still guilty in my perspective and in relation to Juror B29 she has no legal knowledge to stand upon to make a judgment either publically or in the jury room.
Response to Second Opinion
True, but as far as feeling go or emotional involvement … distance prevails. When you are a judge you have no friends, family or societal pressure when conducting court in your courtroom. Honor, job and duty is all you have.
Thank you.

"Analysis of the 2013 Decision Regarding the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)"
From the first e-Activity, summarize three (3) key issues that the DOMA decision of 2013 addressed that fall under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Indicate which of the three (3) issues you believe will have the greatest overall impact on society in the future. Justify your response.
Three key issues that the DOMA decision of 2013 addressed that fall under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution consist of defining and determination of “lawfully married” in regard to “spouse” as follows:
1. Because of this ambiguity clarification was needed to first determine the position of same-sex couple in relational value to the terminology of “spouse”.
2. The determination and value on same-sex marriage in a state that recognizes only opposite sex marriages and the positional place dealing with the scope of benefits of the deceased spouse and ability to claim.
3. The qualified retirement plan benefits and issues in relation to same-sex marriages and opposite-sex marriages and the changed and resolution to allow both types of unions to be on equal footing in receipt of all benefits equally that qualify for consideration.
The first key issue that pertains to same-sex marriage would have the greatest impact on society because it allows the equal standing and freedom to choose and marry in a consecrated union and be an undivided union. As such, the ability to act as one is allowed as well as the ability to leave a spouse (whether of the same sex or different) protected with medical, retirement benefits and access to all inheritory property.
From the second e-Activity, describe two (2) key factors in the case of Windsor v. the U.S. that you believe led to the repeal of DOMA Provide specific examples from the video to support your rationale.
Two key factors in the cases of Windsor v United States that led to the repeal of the DOMA was initiated by the lawsuit levied by Edith Windsor in the matter of her deceased spouse (Thea Spyer) and the unfair levying of estate taxes as a consequence of her spouse’s death and allowance of the state’s approval of their union.
Due to the denial of allowance to claim the federal estate tax exemption for surviving spouses supported by Section 3 of the DOMA (codified at 1 U.S.C. § 7) whereby it restricted the terminology of “spouse” to be applicable to a marriage between a man and woman only. Because of this the IRS disallowed the exemption and compelled Windsor to pay $363,053 in estate taxes.
Subsequently, Windsor filed a lawsuit against the federal government to protest the prejudicial DOMA because it singled out same-sex couples for discriminatory treatment with no chance for equality, standing and fairness in reporting the nature of income taxes.
Further as such since the sanctity of marriage was allowed as acceptable by the State of New York the clarity of the act stands affirmed and supports the nature of union confirmed and consecrated and equal to all unions of whether of same-sex or opposite sex marriage that is guaranteed under the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause of equal protection.
Further it instructs that the federal government must recognize same-sex marriages that have been approved by the states. Therefore, because of this if a same-sex marriage is approved therefore is also the right to claim exemption and whatever pertain to instructions regarding spouse as a equitable and true selection and choice.
Thank you.

I agree that reception of Edith Windsor's filing of income taxes for exemption for the estate was not received as favorably as she wanted by the IRS but fortunately due to her fighting and protesting she was able to find a safe harbor under the Fourteenth Amendment by proving that same-sex marriage were looked upon in a disparaging and discriminatory fashion.
Further that this case (Windsor v United States) made an impact and paved the way for her and others who have been treated unfairly.

"President’s Effect in Appointing Federal Judges"
Referring to the study regarding the effect of presidential philosophy on the selection of judges in Chapter 7, determine two (2) ways in which presidential philosophy can impact judicial decision making. Draw three (3) conclusions from the study. Provide specific examples to support your rationale.
Two ways in which the presidential philosophy also known as the presidential ideology in the selection of judges can impact judicial decision making is as follows:
Devotion and depth of commitment to fulfill and support corresponding political beliefs and attitudes toward making true accurate decisions to glorify the country and further support, care for the citizens and protect all therein.
Secondly, the next reason for the selection of judges is to also not lead to a prevalency of sameness in attitudes but also allow diversity of backgrounds without bias or restriction. Further, the acknowledgment of balance needed in all judicial judges should be reflective of those who are seen as adverse to civil rights as well as those in favor of civil rights.
Diversity in thought, background, assimilated purpose allows for a parallel equity that reflects the overall populace. Also, those with singular or dual or tri ideological perspective allows for intriguing, enthralling informative arguments for and against the passing and concluding of laws, reflective summation of cases, conduct and interjections for changes whether in argument against said case or in addition to facilitate a case’s plea or denial of plea. Therefore, competency and agile mental acuity is prevalent as well as the course of honor, integrity, delicacy and balance.
Three conclusions I can draw from the study include: Parallel thought, coincidental ideology equates to pushes for changes and effective measures and ability to facilitate because of those who have been positioned to put a plan in action and “make it work” in the most expedient time frame possible.
First Example
President elect
After swearing in, my first agenda is to change the pension plans of America to allow the widow or widower more of the deceased spouse’s income as well as provide a burial plan and last pension irregardless of date deceased. For example, widow dies on August 31 and monthly check is dated September 1 she or he is still entitled to check as well as the remaining amount that have been placed in the budget for the year.
Second Example
To change the allowance of insurance to prevent fraud but allow all to fix teeth without a prevention to state must wait and be contingent on current dental position versus allowance to help keep America smiling.
In clarification, modify and allow all to participate and not be based on income so that the working poor (which is predominately all of America) is not endangered and protected with insurance to fix teeth in any income bracket. Further to acknowledge that compiled measures of establishing income are not true accuracy of net worth or to be considered liquid.
These examples are some of the issue that affect the populace and need due process to assist those in need who look at self and despair of good representation. The right to protect, advance the people and provide an impetus to march on and continue is what all is looking for in judges. Serving America means loving, protecting the populace and be the continuance of our backbone.
Specify the role that you believe politics can play when a court hands down a decision on a divisive issue. Identify two (2) effects that a political party can have on the public interpretation of the court’s ruling. Provide specific examples to support your rationale.
The role that I believe politics can play when a court hands down a decision on a divisive issue includes the allowance of diversity to come into effect. By stating this even though the courts are divided on an issue it does not necessarily mean a separation of thought it just means a differing parlay has caused a stand-off of alteration of thought on subject and a present stand-off.
In reconciliation of the stand-off this would consist of mediation and further exploratory investigation to ensure total clarity and explanation and then a resubmit of issue.
Two effects that a political party can have on the public interpretation of the court’s ruling include either in support of their actions or against their actions.
Favorable regard will cause praise and enthused acceptance whereas unfavorable regard will cause large measures of discontent and petition to halt, stall and fight decision.
First Example
Women’s right to vote revoked.
Causal effect of this action would cause ripples of distress and fear for self, sanctity and protection. Further it would cause suspicious watch that women are being attacked with unfound warrant and ulterior motive cloaked within.
The effect would cause a spiraling of unrest worldwide due to America being a worldwide power and an exemplified example that all follow in the treatment and protection of women and their rights. The subsequent denial would be reversed but never forgotten and would make all that women move for and act upon a measure to fight continuously for.
Second Example
School Segregation
The act of segregation of schools is reflective of race hierarchy and lack of equality. Based and threaded within are high levels of bigotry, prejudice, condescension, discrimination, hate and intentional oppression.
The intentional oppression are levied to facilitate informal and common belief of those who are looked upon as inferior as incapable of assimilating same worth as those viewed as the race at the top of the hierarchy tree. Because of this the act of separate ensures the inability to fight the informal thought as well as stop the “myth” of not having equality that equals lack of intelligence to inability as well.
By establishing of using Maslow’s Pyramid all can be moved to said correct position and are able to receive conductive education to steadfast reflect and stand that all are worthy and able to assimilate and gain.

I agree that it is true that some presidents appoint judges that have ideologies or philosophies that are similar but sometimes there can be someone out there who is not of the same party (or cut from the same clothe) but have outstanding philosophy that cannot be bypassed.
Comfort is as comfort does ... it does not excite, change or rattle the bones or bang the chest.
Evolution is what is needed and that means clashing and head-on collisions make a difference happen in politics.
For example, Politics is the horn and I am the player.
