For this assignment, I have to create an outline with sources. I already did the assignment but it is incomplete and I need to add to it and add more sources. My assignment prompt is down below and the one I did is also below. If you could use what I have to improve my assignment that would be great.
The Setup
Groucho Marx once said, “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.”
If only he knew how right he was…
January 2025. There is a new president in the White House.
Your new President of the United States is:
Tom Brady???
That is right. In a stunning move, the country decided that if Tom Brady was good enough to win seven Super Bowls, he was good enough to be President of the United States of America.
Only one problem. Mr. Brady, for all his wonderful qualities, knows nothing of American government and politics. Fortunately for him, he has picked the right person as his new domestic policy advisor: YOU! So get to work, and don’t mind all the people asking for autographs.
The Assignment
Now that we have gotten that out of the way, it is time to get down to the assignment. As the newest advisor to the most politically inexperienced president in American history, you will need to call on all that you have learned in POS 2041 to help Mr. Brady. Specifically, President Brady has asked for your help in passing a new law. The details of the law, as well as the details of President Brady’s party affiliation (if any) are totally up to you. President Brady wants to know about the kinds of difficulties that his proposal will face, and the things he needs to do to get it passed .
Specifically you should inform President Brady of the following:
1) The structure of our constitutional form of government (separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism – you should talk about all three of these and each should be its own paragraph).
2) The role of specific actors within the formal branches of government (Congress, the bureaucracy, and the courts – you should discuss all three of these and each should be its own paragraph).
3) The role of other institutions and actors (the media, political parties, and interest groups – you should talk about each of these and each should be its own paragraph).
You’ll want to tie this all in with how a bill becomes a law.
This is a discussion post reply to this below with a 150-200 rebuttal/submission. Your response should be more than just “I agree/disagree”. Challenge the person’s claim with facts and/or an informed opinion. The judicial branch is one of America’s cores within the government as they decide the constitutionality of federal laws and resolve other disputes about federal laws(1). The legislative and executive branches both allow ordinary citizens to choose high-ranking public officials and to hold these officials accountable for their actions(2). However with the judicial branch, justices are voted into their positions within the court by the Senate. This shows a divide with representation within the system of government in the United States. Despite having a lack of representation, having an unelected judiciary is indeed beneficial to a representative government. By having elections for the justices in the judicial branch, it could create problems with those who are selected. Elected judiciaries could create bias within court cases, follow what the people tell them to do, be corrupt with their power, etc. When laws must be enforced, unbiased judges are needed to determine guilt or innocence and – if the accused is found guilty – the appropriate punishment(3). With these potential problems to having elected justices, it would most certainly put the current justice system and the government overall into chaos. Having the Senate choose who they believe is fit for the role of a justice within the courts, it shows no bias and allows for the right people to follow the laws set within the country. Federal judges are very important within the judicial branch of America’s government as they serve in the courts throughout the nation. These judges are found to “hold their office during good behavior”(4), as stated by Article III in the Constitution. It is argued by some people however that these judges shouldn’t be serving such a long time as it can cause them to lose touch with how they live their life, how the job affects both physical and mental health, distance themselves from the people in America’s society, etc., but they should not have their terms limited due to the problems it can cause. The reasoning for this lifetime role was so that it would remove them from politics and to ensure that they would view only the legal merits of a case and not make decisions with an eye toward re-election or re-appointment(5). Having a limit to terms would prevent these problems from occurring and would keep balance in the court systems. America’s current ways of how the justice system works allows judiciaries to follow the law and stay by what was set down in the Constitution.
The Supreme Court is one of the most important parts of the judicial branch as they take care of cases that usually affect the entirety of America and is the last federal court one can go to for their case. Nonetheless, the amount of justices that serve in the supreme court has been nine since 1868. It has been argued that this number shouldn’t be so low as the Constitution doesn’t limit the amount of justices that can, and that it would be beneficial to have more since the presence of only nine justices might constrain the number of cases the Court hears(6). Yet, this can cause some issues within the court itself. By adding more justices, it could cause politics to interfere within the courts, as justices have historically decided cases according to their own beliefs about the law and the case at hand, not because of any sense of obligation to the politics of the president responsible for their appointment to the court(7). Having more could also cause a split between the both Republicans and Democrats’ beliefs, which would prevent the Supreme Court from having their own independence and their ability to follow the laws of the United States
This is a discussion post, I will attach someone else’s response and I want u to reply with a 150-200 rebuttal/ submission. Your response should be more than just “I agree/disagree”. Challenge the person’s claim with facts and/or an informed opinion.
The United States Is a democratic republic meaning it has to main parties democratic and republican. The constitution states that federal judges are to be nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate.
During the presidencies many federal judges appointees are of the party of the president. Over the years the process of judicial appointments has become partisan which was not the intent. The nominees are questions about issues from gun rights, abortion, to federal power under the commerce law. In other words presidents nominate judges who share the same political perspectives as them. For example, “Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush looked for appointees who supported the ideological and philosophical positions taken by the republican party at that time particularly opposition to governmental intervention in the economy and to abortion.”This is what creates the problem of elected judiciary because judges tend to be partisan instead of A political. The judiciary was made to be unbiased and be neutral to both parties. An unelected judiciary can be more independent from political pressures allowing judges to make final decisions without the influence of political interests. Doing so will prevent the abuse of power and ensure that the government actions are constitutional. Not to mention judges may receive luxurious gifts influencing them to political parties.
The court needs some reform to take place in order to relieve it from bi partisan politics and restore balance.
Term limits should be limited because of several reasons including judicial accountability, encouraging diversity and preventing lifetime appointments. The supreme court justices now have served the longest in American history. Supreme justices hold onto their positions until the “right” person is elected into the White House to retire. Creating regular appointments would make the process less political. “Justice Breyer has argued that an
18-year term period would give justices enough time to fully learn the job and develop jurisprudence”. Since judges term is lifetime they get comfortable knowing they can’t get fired because it’s rare. Change will ensure judges are up to date with societal norms and expectations. With regular appointments in the first and third year of presidential election there are greater changes for judges to be appointed from diverse backgrounds. “Term limits will ensure that an entire generation of Americans will not suffer a further loss of their freedoms under a reactionary and partisan Supreme Court, and that no future Senate Leader can stack the Court the way McConnell did.” With term limits there would more effective representative governance.
Court packing is the idea of adding justices to the supreme court or lower courts to shift the balance in a liberal conservative or other direction. Increasing the number of justices can help rebalance the ideological composition of the court. Since it increased in numbers it also does in diverse perspectives preventing political groups dominating the court. “Expansion would allow the president to increase racial and gender diversity on the Court, and to appoint justices with different types of professional experiences. It would let the justices hear more cases each term and return the Court to the historical standard of having one justice oversee each circuit.” Since there aren’t enough judges supreme court cases have also increased heavily over time delaying cases. In general the framers intended to have representative governance.. The government today should intend to uphold that. Expansion of the supreme court is the best way to ensure there are judges that are fair because of their diverse backgrounds. The Supreme court has the final say in the case; it is only fair for the judges to all be unbiased to resolve the case in the most fair way possible.

Develop an introduction to a paper and offer a thesis statement as to your position. Which side of the issue are you taking? (Riding the fence is not an option.)
You should include an example (properly cited) from one of the articles ****MUST BE FROM ARTICLES IN THE ATTACHMENT** that illustrates your point.
Briefly recap the example. State who was involved, where it happened, when it happened, what were the specific, and how the issue resolved, if it has resolved. You should not reiterate every, little detail. Think big picture in your introduction.
You will then need to state your position. In stating your position, you must make it clear to the reader which side of the issue you are on. Do NOT ride the fence. Take a clear position.
In taking your position, you should not write, “I think,” “I believe,” “My position is,” or something like that. If I say, “I think Chick-fil-A is the best food restaurant,” that is weaker than saying, “Chick-fil-A is the best fast food restaurant.” State your position with confidence, as though it were fact.
This should be 200-300 words (one to two paragraphs).
To be successful, you should do the following:
Include a brief example that illustrates the question and your position.
Have a clear thesis statement that states your position.
Be properly formatted.
Have proper grammar and writing style.
Include citations.
Submit your introduction to the paper with a clear thesis statement that indicates your position on the issue. This should be no more than two (2) paragraphs. This should introduce the topic under consideration by giving an example that illustrates the issue. This should also pose the constitutional questions that come into play. Finally, this should state clearly your position on the issue.
