Judicial review

Judges Leslie Tiller and Simon Skinner serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, respectively. Each has an involved history with Minnesota’s governor, Joyce Cooper.

I address each of the two cases in parts I and…

laws are set by Congress and do not allow judges to impose a sentence lower than what has been established. These sentences served the purpose of diminishing unlimited judge discretion and consequently lead to the limitation and even elimination of judicial discretion in sentencing. For example, an individual caught with or selling 50 grams of crack cocaine will automatically receive a 10-year federal mandatory sentence, regardless if they had no prior convictions or if…

One of the first concepts I gained from this class was the idea of the rhetorical triangle. The rhetorical triangle consists of three points, much like the geometric triangle. The points of the triangle include audience, speaker, and text which were surrounded by the hypothetical circle of context. In high school we just barely scraped the surface of each of these topics but in English 101 we actually learned how to find each of these in text and how to effectively compose about them. In the…

The drug has shown an increase in heart attacks and strokes with suspiciousness to why leaders did not act earlier to withdraw the pharmaceutical drug from the market timely (Topol, 2004).

Peer review involved giving real constructive criticism that would affect the other person’s…

I started off pretty good and knew I was going to pass, but at the end of the semester I guess me and the teacher had a different outlook on how well I did. Let’s just say English is not my favorite subject and has…
