This week we will be reviewing the presidential election vote and the latest results from the U.S. Senate races & House of Representatives. We will examine the demographics of voters and their preference for U.S. President & attempt to analyze and draw conclusions from this data. Later in the class we will begin a discussion of the President & the Courts by first looking at the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) and then traveling to Franciscan University to hear a presentation on this Act in Cosmos & Damien Hall. Americans United for Life have a comprehensive discussion of FOCA here. Watch a You Tube presentation where President-Elect Obama promises to sign FOCA here.
Your homework assignment involves a number of questions on the Federal Court System and past Supreme Court decisions. All of your home work questions can be answered from the Almanac except question 6. To answer this question, go to the U.S. Supreme Court here and to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th District here.
