I completely agree that justices should serve for life. This means that they will not be paid off by big business and not afraid to vote the correct way, even if under pressure. I think people should not vote on them either since this would cause them to have to find election money as well as just vote on popular opinion.

Ebola is a very deadly virus, especially in the African continent where medicine is behind the rest of the world. There was a recent outbreak in guinea where medicine is especially behind. This is a concern where 59 people have already died. If this is not stopped, many more people will die.

supreme court cases

1. racial cases
     fisher vs University of Texas
   
Here fisher and a friend applied to the University of Texas. when both were rejected, they filed a claim that they were discriminated against since they are white and the majority, minorities with lower grades and less qualified made it in. she won the case at the supreme court level.

2. Religion
     Town of Greece vs Galloway

The town of Greece held prayers before each city meeting. some atheists and a Jew thought this was unconstitutional. it was brought before the supreme court. The case has yet to be resolved

3. School System

I agree with some of both since precedence and consistency are important, but so is the ability for it to change with the times otherwise slavery would still be legal.

I think we should look into what happened for the sake of knowing what went wrong and how to stop it in the future but no america should not get involved.

yes I believe it violated their right of freedom of expression and schools should not have that much power. while I believe it makes it better, the chanting should not have been allowed in 2010 but wearing clothes with the flag on it should be allowed.
