The following report reviews the book, “Courting Disaster: How the Supreme Court is Usurping the Power of Congress and the People” By Pat Robertson. The writing takes a hard look at the recent history and current climate within the United States Supreme Court. A great deal of the author’s work centers on the decisions that have taken place during Chief William Rehnquist’s time leading the highest court in the nation. Rehnquist was chief Justice during the infamous Bush v. Gore decision that sided with President George W. Bush resulting in Al Gore losing the election. The book also examines the political machine that determines whether a justice nominee will be appointed and in light of this process, how political control of the legislature

In chapter 3, The Old Catastrophe, Alison Bechdel makes one literary reference that I think works wonderfully in relating to her father. She uses the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. Alison's father sought to relate his life to Gatsby's. Gatsby and Bruce try to live their lives with the fact that they are hiding their true selves and live in a world of lies. The Great Gatsby is referenced for the fact Bruce uses objects to make their lives look more beautiful than what it really was. He is constantly working on the old house making upgrades and using restored furniture that cannot really be used as furniture, its purpose is of aesthetics. The constant references allowed me to understand more greatly about Alison's father. Having read The Great Gatsby multiple times, helps me to see how Bruce could relate to Gatsby.

American Leader Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity” (Martin). Luther King believed that in order for us humans to have a meaningful live we must put aside our personal problems and care about the problems of humanity as a whole. The earthquake of Oakland, California in 1989 is a true example of this quote. As the sirens of ambulances roared through the abolished city thousands of civilians gathered together, taking risks, to help those that were in the borderline of life and death. Learned helplessness,

John-Manuel Andriote starts Victory Deferred by establishing the historical context from which the gay community arose from. A long history of discrimination both social and political had caused many homosexuals to congregate for protective communities, like in San Francisco and New York. These areas were often referred to as “gay ghettos” and served as safe havens for the gay men who migrated to them. Post Stonewall gays had formed an “army of lovers” who were out and proud activist for the community. These early protests for gay rights marked the early instances of gays uniting to act as a community, instead of individuals. It was these same groups who protested the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality as a type of mental

In Greek the word “tragedy” means “goat song”, but the connection between tragedy and goat song is obscure. Perhaps a goat was the prize at some sort of early singing contest in Greece, or perhaps the dancers wore goat skins. One medieval writer ingeniously suggested that tragedy is called goat song because it begins prosperously, as a goat is abundantly hairy in front, and ends wretchedly, as a goat is bare in the rear. Dante Alighieri, whose Divine Comedy proves him to be the greatest poet of the Middle Ages, offered the engaging idea that tragedy is so called because its story is unpleasant and smelly as a goat.
