Chelsea's POTUS questions

Republicans have lately taken drastic steps against what they say is a plague of voter fraud. Indiana now requires every would-be voter to present a government-issued photo ID before casting a ballot. If the Supreme Court upholds that requirement, other states may pass or strengthen similar laws. What is your view of the prevalence of such voter fraud, and what should be done about it?

Will there be a pre-existing conditions clause in the new Health care reform bill?

You have insisted that health care reform “bend the cost curve down.” CBO Director Elmendorf says the bills being debated would instead raise the health care cost curve and would increase long-term budget deficits. Will you continue to insist that health care reform not increase the deficit?

A reminder

Weren't we doing comments for Potus now?

questions anyone?

Weeks v. United States (Samira)

Weeks v. United States

bonnie!

1. In June 2006 you voted against the Kerry-Feingold amendment that would have set a deadline of July 2007 for the withdrawal of almost all U. S. forces from Iraq. But in January 2007, you supported a deadline, proposing to begin redeploying troops by May 1, 2007, with the goal of removing all combat brigades from Iraq by March 31, 2008. Why did you change your mind about the desirability of setting a deadline for withdrawal?

Question for POTUS

What are your views on the controversial second amendment? Do you agree that their should be certain limitations on firearms? Or should anyone be able to bear and own arms?

Re-phrase of Second POTUS Q

Will anymore troops be needed to remove the insurgents in Afghanistan and keep Al Qaeda from defining themselves and gaining power there?

Second POTUS Q

1. Questions have arisen lately, after General McChrystals opinion on the actual seriousness of the war and Afghanistan, seeing as how he’s more concerned with covering certain parts of Afghanistan than bringing the troops home. Are his hopes for more troops, approximately 45000, going to be fulfilled?

One of my Q's for POTUS

1. How much do you know about the ‘Q-Tip Tax’; How involved are you in this taxation, if you are at all and do you feel that it’s breaking the promise you made in your campaign, where you said you wouldn’t impose tax on the middle class?

Amendment 4

Amendment 4

Right 1: Police cannot search a person or their belongings without probable cause.

Source or Originator: From complaints against the King-The King would send officers to search people's houses for anything relating to John Wilke's pamphlets attacking the government and the King.

Argument against: The King obviously did not want to lose the right of going to people's houses and searching it without a probable cause. By searching people's houses when he felt like it, he could keep them from rebelling against him.

Court case/Why?: Warden v Hayden (1967). Police went into a house after armed robbery was reported. The resident gave permission to search the house and they found Warden and the gun. He argued that the police did not have probable cause to search the house, and therefore the evidence they found could not be used against him. Decision: The police had probable cause-they recieved a call reporting armed robbery.

Comtemporary/Why: Terry v Ohio (1968) A police searched three men that looked suspicious and found two of them were carrying a gun. Terry was convicted to three years in jail. He aurgued the search had been with no problable cause. The Supreme court convicted Terry to the three years in jail, saying the officer was securing his safety and the public's
--'Probable cause' is debatable.


Right 2: A warrant is needed to search someone's property

Source or originator: Entick v Carrington (1765). Three messengers sent by the King entered Entick's property and searched it wihout Entick's consent and against his will. It was decided that a state officer could only enter a peron's home with permission or 'in a manner prescribed by law'.


Argument against: again, the King opposed it.


Court case/ Why?: Georgia v Randolph (2006)-Scott Randolph was arrested after the police found cocaine in his home. The police did not have a warrant, Randolph's wife gave permission for the search, but Randoplh did not. Decision: Randolph was not convicted, the search was unconstitutional because the police did not have a warrant and they searched without Randolph's consent.


Contemporary/ Why?: When police have a probable cause and they don't have time to go to a judge for a warrant police are allowed to search property.

Bill Of Rights Rap

Helped me.

Breaks it down in a language I can understand!

tim r u still here

amendment 9

right: unenumerated rights to the people
amendment: 9
source: magna carta
argument against: is it necessary, the founding fathers only added it as a safety percaution for incase they forgot something that they didn't want denied in the future.
court case: griswold v. connecticut, counselling a married couple on preventing conception
contemporary: is abortion one of the rights that the ninth amendment is talking about and is it the womans right or the unborn childs right

Amendment 10

Amendment 10
Right:Powers reserved to states
Amendment:10
Source or Originator:The Magna Carta
Argument against:States can try to be exempt from certain legislation
Court Case/Why?:Hammer vs. Dagenheart; Regulation of production was reserved by the Tenth Amendment
Contemporary/Why?:Health Care Reform; states have right to choose how to provide health care.

My part (Amendment 1, the first 3 rights) (EDITED)

Right;

Freedom of Religion

Amend;

1

Source/ Originator;

Magna Carta, also reiterated by Thomas Paine in "Common Sense"

Argument Against;

I couldn't really find a very good argument against this. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Court case/ why?;

Engel V. Vitale (1962)

State of NY endorsed religion by creating a prayer to be said at the begining of every school day. Supreme court ruled this as illegal.

(FYI, this is the prayer Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country. Amen.)

Contemporary/ why?;

The pledge is still widely debated whether it infringes on American's freedom of religion or not.

Right;

Freedom of Speech

Amend;

1

Source/ Originator;

Magna Carta

Argument Against;

Again, kind of difficult, who wouldn't want freedom of speech?

Court case/ why?;

Roth V. United States (1956)

This case decided that freedom of speech does not cover porfanity.

Contemporary/ why?;

Freedom of speech is used to shield slanderers from formal punishment. Also, this is being infringed upon by the Patriot Act.

Right;

Freedom of Press

Amend;

1

Source/ Originator;

John Milton's Areopagitica

Argument Against;

The state should have the right to be able to pull articles before they are published if they hurt the nation.

Court case/ why?;

Near V. Minnesota (1931)

This case decided that the state has no right to restrain the press prior to their release even if it threatens the well being of the state.

(Another FYI; This case came about because there was a man in the newspaper that said some local government officials were involved in gangs, drugs, etc. The supreme court ruled that it was a violation of the first amendment to have prior restraint on the press.)

Contemporary/ why?;

Many people are victimized by biased news reports that throw out whatever benefits their party without being fact checked. Example; the 2000 election. Fox news said Bush won when it was still up for debate.

That's all I have.
