Supreme+Court

[[image:supremecourt2.jpg width="285" height="285" align="right"]]**__THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITY WILL BE COMPLETED IN CLASS ON THURSDAY.__**
To facilitate a discussion of the proper role of the court, you will be reading an article about judicial activism, answering some questions, and entering a discussion (both on the Wiki and in class--a rubric for the wiki discussion will be on my webpage).

First, go to the library's webpage and choose 'special links--issues'. Then go to the database, 'issues and controversies'. Enter "judicial activism" in the search bar and then choose the 2005 update. You will read this article to prepare for a discussion of judicial activism. Download the document below and answer the questions as you read the article.



2. Respond to at least one other person's response.
===Once you have finished the discussion question for judicial activism, read the following articles about the recent campaign finance ruling and enter the discussion on this page called, "campaign finance and judicial activism".=== http://www.oyez.org/cases/2000-2009/2008/2008_08_205 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122805666

You should be able to complete most of this in class. The discussion on judicial activism should be done by the end of class. If necessary, complete the rest of the assignment at home tonight.
A BIT OF ADVICE FOR EVERYONE---SHOW THAT YOU'VE PUT SOME THOUGHT AND EFFORT INTO THIS ASSIGNMENT. ALTHOUGH THE QUESTIONS WERE NOT COLLECTED IN CLASS, THIS ASSIGNMENT IS GOING TO BE GRADED.
