11014474 Question 1: Senator Hill makes three challenges to the charges against him. The first is that the committee could not conduct investigations into this subject matter. The committee lays out its purpose clearly; it is to investigate the accusations of sexual assault claims against Senator Hill. The congressional power of inquiry is enforced both in Kilbourn v. Thompson and McGrain v. Daugherty, as well as the power to punish witnesses who do not comply. However, the precedent sent forth Kilbourn states that inquiries must not invade areas reserved to other branches of government, must deal with subjects of which Congress could legislate, and must be within the scope of a subject of congressional interest.…

In the 2002 Neil Noesen case, a woman in Wisconsin went to fill her prescription at a local K-Mart, only to be refused by the only pharmacist on duty at the time, Neil Noesen, because the aforementioned pharmacist was a strict Roman Catholic, and it would be against his principles to give someone contraceptives. In addition to this, he believed it would also be wrong to transfer the prescription so that it could be filled by someone else. The district manager knew Noesen would not dispense contraceptives, but was not aware that he wouldn’t at least transfer the prescription. In this situation, the issue revolves around the woman’s right to have access to birth control, and Noesen’s right to exercise his religious freedom.…

Scarpelli (1973), the United States Supreme Court held that due process mandates a preliminary and final revocation hearing for a probationer under the same conditions specified in Morrissey v.

Every Assemblymember must decide how is best in presenting themselves to their electorate. Each member’s districts are different, thus resulting in the need for each member to approach this subject differently. It is up to the member to decide what must be emphasized while portraying themselves, such as how much to emphasize on party affiliation, how generally should they present themselves to the electorate, and how they will reach out and communicate with the electorate. With the modernization of the world to the digital age, there is also now the separation of the usage of social networking behind connecting with the local constituency with some using it as a main tool and others resorting to the previous norm of newspapers, television and meeting with their constituents, of which Assemblyman…
QHQ #2: Individual Liability Contrary to popular belief, poor access to health care is not the central problem to the health of an individual in poverty; rather, health is associated with certain social determinants of health, specifically individual risk factors. In the book Mama Might Be Better Off Dead: The Failure of Health Care in Urban America by Laurie Kaye Abraham, the concept of how an individual’s decisions can drastically impact their health is clearly expressed through the lens of Tommy, an uneducated individual who does not follow the advice given by his physician. The choices that Tommy makes in respect to his health outside the four walls of the hospital are what contributes to his declining health. There are two primary individual…
A fundamental right by the court allows for strict scrutiny where legislation constructs classifications surrounding the right. It is a policy decision implemented by the court to limit the amount and type of legislation that is subject to strict scrutiny. The significance of the case is based on the different levels of equal protection. Rosenfeld would view this case as legitimate because it follows separate factors; judges act as democratic participants: where the debate is open, and different sides are represented in majority and minority. Judges act as protectors of rights against government action.…
