This case is an example of Judicial Activism because during this time the court ruled on peoples beliefs. First Patrick Kennedy said he should not be given the death penalty because the child did not die and it was not a murder. The majority and the court agreed with his decision so he was removed from the death penalty. The court should have ruled in its opinion because when people start doing all kinds of crimes the court just cannot agree with the majority or minority’s decisions. Last this…

No matter which Justice on the Supreme Court one would pick, each have some sort of both bias and method when deciding their rulings.

The debate over whether or not abortion should be a legal option continues to divide Americans long after the US Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision on Roe v. Wade declared the procedure a “fundamental right" on Jan. 22, 1973. Proponents, identifying themselves as pro-choice, contend that choosing abortion is a woman's right that should not be limited by governmental or religious authority, and which outweighs any right claimed for an embryo or fetus. They say that pregnant women will resort to unsafe…
