    Ogden v. Gibbons, Heart of Atlanta Motel, and Solid waste cases are all closely related to the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of the Obamacare act. Each case deals with the specifics of commerce, mostly with commerce “among the states.” With the commerce clause being viewed from many different perspectives over time, it has given great importance to the meaning of our laws and regulations that we have set today. These three cases alone along with the Obamacare act, have affected the way interstate commerce is viewed. The most commonly used commerce clause in Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution, is the cause of the “power to regulate Commerce..among several states.”…

    Glimer Case Study

    In Glimer, there was some ambiguity about the effect of the statutory exclusion for contracts of employment because, the arbitration clause was not in a contract between an employee and an employer, but rather was in a contract between an employee and the agency. The Supreme Court clarified the ambiguity in Circuit City Stores, Inc. v. Adams, where the Court interpreted the exemption for “contracts of employment” exceptionally narrowly. The Court held that the statute applied to all contracts of employment except those involving workers who, like seamen and railroad workers, were engaged in transportation that crossed state lines. . Therefore, it is now clear that the FAA allows enforcement of agreements mandating arbitration of employment…

People have lost sight of the good that our judicial system does for us and what a gift it is to be allowed to sue for any reason and anytime. Yes, it is true that people abuse that power but as George Lakoff, a professor of Neurolinguistics at UC Berkeley, said “Suing is heroic… when you win a case you win it for other people as well as gaining justice for yourself” (Hot Coffee). On February 27, 1992, a seventy-nine-year-old woman named Stella Liebeck was in the passenger seat of her grandson’s car when she ordered a cup of coffee at the drive through of a McDonald’s Albuquerque, New Mexico.…
