Chapter 14 The Supreme Court Justices

Interesting Backgrounds

I find the extensive legal exposure of all Justice's to the legal system very interesting. All have graduated Law School and have served some duties in the Judiciary Systems of the U.S. This makes them very qualified and informative in the Laws of the Land. 

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Justice Ginsburg delivered the opinion of the court in Abbott v United States. I agree with the decision that the "except" clause covers only conduct offending § 924 (c). Although the clause might have been more meticulously drafted the "grammatical possibility" of a defendant's interpretation does not command a resort to the rule of leniency if the interpretation proffered by the defendant reflects "an implausible reading of the congressional purpose." 

Judicial Review

I believe the Judicial Review is exercised on a regular basis and this is why. The Supreme Court has a major role in dividing authority between the nation and state, between Congress and the President, and between governments whether state or local, and the people. This power is in constant need for protections of equality in the nation.

Framer's of the United States

I feel the job of the High Court should apply The Constitution in light of the intent of the Framer's (strict construction) because The Constitution is one set of laws that every American citizen has to stand on. It is a set of laws that are consistent with a few additions, but over the nation's founding set of statues The Constitution should not be something that changes or is allowed to be changed in any dramatic way. The United States Constitution is the "rock" in which we all stand upon to protect us from the government whenever Justice should be followed.
