Constitutional Connection: Judicial Branch. Article three, section one. " The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."
Explanation of Connection: The members of the judicial branch are appointed by the president but confirmed by the senate. Article three only supports one Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the highest court that exists. Their job is to ordain and establish which is also stated in the preamble of the constitution. Judges are to keep their jobs during good behavior, we currently have nine, one chief justice and eight associate justices. They can keep their jobs for life, unless they are impeached and convicted, resign, or retire. The supreme court is the only required court required according to the constitution. Their salary can not decreased over the years, yet they can increase according to the ending of section two.

S.1- Senate's bills.
Source: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/BillBrowse.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&wrapperTemplate=BillBrowse_wrapper.html&billtype=s
Constitutional Connection: Bills the Legislative branch have proposed.
Explanation of Connection: "S. 1 (pcs) To create jobs, restore economic growth, and strengthen America's [Placed on Calendar Senate] " I believe that this is one of the best bills congress have proposed. Creating more jobs will help US. By creating more jobs they can possibly save more money because they wouldn't have to provide as many people with aid such as Section 8, link, wic etc. They would have to support as many families which can save more money and help rebuild the economy. Not as many people will struggle if they can get jobs. Also the many people who's job was cut can gain another job. The government lose tons of money on unemployment checks and by providing people with jobs can change that. Hopefully this will help us restore the economy. This way people can and will spend more money gaining money for the government. This can help us get out of the recession.

Is Congress just a group of Crooks? Nah, I doubt it.

Constitutional Connection: Legislative Branch.
Explanation of Connection: Congress isn't appreciated by the people. They are constantly receiving harsh comments and jokes. Congress work hard for our country but it takes a long time for progress to occur. We don't know everything that congress does. The media spends too much time focusing on the negatives of congress instead of the positives. Bills are passed but it takes a long time for them to be passed. It is a hard job for congress, they have to come up with bills that will make the US better. Their bills must be thinking about the long term effect not short term. The people do not try to help congress. We have the Senate there for us. We as a people need to take advantage of that opportunity by writing letters and expressing our thoughts and feeling to the Senate. How can they know what we want if we never speak up and state our opinion, and thoughts for the US. Have this opportunity is a huge privilege that we don't use. We should change that. Our input can help can the world for the better.

Legislative Branch- Why are they still funding the war?
Source: http://ecword.org/index.php/2010/09/uncategorized/legislative-branch-should-stop-funding-war/
Constitutional Connection: Legislative branch.
Explanation of Connection: We (United States) entered into a war in 2003. We enter due to preemption which is the right of purchasing before others; especially : one given by the government to the actual settler upon a tract of public land. (Merriam- Webster Dictionary). The purpose of the war is to retrieve the Middle East's oil and to spread democracy. Bush led us into the this war without mentioning it to anyone else. He began to send viruses, bacteria, fungi and anthrax to Iraq. Bush stated that Saddam Hussein would bring horror to our people. Hussein had possession over 30,000 chemical weapons, he got this weapons with U.S.A. in mind. Why is the legislative branch still funding the if we were unknowingly led to fight in this war? I do not agree with war unless it is the last result and nothing else can solve a problem. To me war is just a form of legalized murder. Or a legalized gang war. Why hasn't Congress realized that you can render evil for evil, it will only result in more violence. War between countries does not help advance the world in any way. We are in this World together so why not help each other? No single country will be able to fully support themselves. We all need aid, money, food, or whatever to trade. We can figure out a way to get our needs and helping others as well to get theirs by trading. Bush sending viruses to the Middle East only caused problems for us. Many people have died and we still are fighting. Why won't Congress take our people out of the war?

Tenth Amendment
Source: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3898/is_200106/ai_n8957874/
Constitutional Connection: Tenth Amendment- The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.
Explanation of Connection: King argued that the CSRA (Child Support Recovery Act) violated the tenth amendment and gave Congress too much power. I totally disagree with him. There is nothing in the constitutional that says "it is the states/ parents responsibility to pay child support" therefore it can be left to anyone. Anyway if you are man/ woman enough too lay there and have a baby you should be man/ women enough too take care of the child and be apart of their life. Too be a "dead beat" parent makes you trifling and makes you a bad person. If a child is put into the system the DCFS takes care of them by way of putting them in group homes, placing them in foster families, providing them with money and finances, etc. If that is YOUR child why is it so hard for you to do the same. I feel that Congress should enforce the CSRA because your children are your responsibility. You knew your life, your circumstances, your predicaments, your problem or whatever before you had a child so they are not excuses for you not being about to take care of them no matter your age. If you were grown enough to produce children then assume the responsibility that comes with it. I think the CSRA was a great idea because people are becoming too lackadaisical and nonchalant when it comes to their children and it is causing children and single parents too many problems. Therefore this is not a violation to the tenth amendment it is an enforcement of the tenth amendment.
