Rasul v. Bush

in the No Child Left Behind Act was President George W. Bush. In 2001 he put into action a position that was to be overseen by the Secretary of Education. The responsibilities of the Secretary of Education were to increase the accountability of the schools that were underperforming, allowing parents to have a more informed choice on where their child attended school, and to increase the test scores of low performing schools. When President Bush put the act into effect his hope was to improve the…

If we use torture tactics we could prevent more major terrorist attacks. Torture is the easiest way to get information out of terrorist. The CIA would only use torture methods on Al Qaeda leaders in order to get information that may prevent future attacks. Personally I believe that these torture methods are justified because of what they do to POW’s overseas. 59% of the American society support the CIA’s methods according to new polls conducted by telephone calls.(Adam Goldman reports on…

“Frankly, we are republicans and they’re democrats but before all of that, we’re Americans. And I believe we need to unify in so many ways to rebuild our country to strengthen our country, to rebuild our defense, and for America to secure its place in the world; for us, for our children, and for the next generation.” John Kasich can help America. With his experience, America will be better again. Kasich for us. John Kasich is electable. Voters will be skeptical of sending another inexperienced…

election between George W. Bush and Al Gore continues to spark controversy regarding which candidate actually should have won, even 17 years later. In 2008 the dramatization film of this election, Recount, aired on HBO and primarily documented the voting irregularities in Florida. At the time, Florida counted with 25 electoral votes, thus analytics predicted that whichever candidate won Florida would also win the election. It is later revealed in the film that George W. Bush won the election…

Friends, I understand that we have different opinions regarding this election. Whatever yours may be I respect it because you, I'm sure, have justified reasons for thinking what you do. I am asking you to have that same respect for me as I tell you what I hold to be true. I'm going to voice some pretty confrontational views, but if I were to stay silent, then I wouldn't be standing for what I believe in. We all have differences in opinion, some more strongly than others. Hillary Clinton, to…

I think Ed Snowden felt it was the right thing putting all the top secret files out in public. Why? Because he did not like the fact that the US government could see what private citizens do on our phones, computers, TV, and other electronic devices. Snowden believed the US Government had been spying on its people for many years. He wanted US citizens to know that their own government had been watching them through their electronics, secretly invading their privacy and tracking their every…

Assignment # 1- President Clinton’s Shanksville Speech I believe Clinton's speech for the 9/11 memorial was good. It was pretty straight forward, and to the point. Clinton tone was raspy and calm. Upon listening I felt the sincerity of his words. Clinton comparing the passengers on the plane on 9/11 to the spartan accepting their fate against the enemy with bravery. In this battle the soldiers lost their lives but their loved ones were saved in quote, “but the casualties they made and the time…

In the summer of 2013, Edward Snowden became a household name when he showed the world a corrupt, horribly invasive program run by the National Security Agency, also known as the NSA. This debacle is known as one of the largest surveillance programs in all of history. The NSA invaded the privacy of every United States citizen with access to the internet, and even read through emails and discussions of people in other countries. Was Snowden justified in his release of reports he learned during…

In regards to this week’s discussion, I would like to discuss the lapse in preventative measures that were neglected prior to the event in conjunction with the communication failures discussed by Cooper and Block in chapter 7. Before I discuss the lapse in communicating the dire situation to Secretary Chertoff by Brown, one should note issues in planning, communication, leadership, and unsatisfactory camaraderie amongst department heads were identified far in advance. The emergency response to…

Alberto Gonzalez an early advocate of the controversial USA Patriot Act. During Gonzalez' tenure the justice department and the Federal Bureau were accused of improperly, and perhaps illegally, us9ing the patriot act to uncover personal information about US citizens. raised the possibility that New York Times journalists could be prosecuted for publishing classified information based on the outcome of the criminal investigation underway into leaks to the Times of data about the National Security…
