Roberts V. Roberts

The questions presented to the Supreme Court in Raich v. Gonzales (2005) are whether the Commerce Clause affords Congress the power to ban the growth, use, and sale of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act and whether it can enforce that act against ill people whose doctors have prescribed medical marijuana as a remedy. Writing for the majority in that case, Justice John Paul Stevens employed Justice Stephen Breyer’s strand of pragmatism to answer those questions. The premise of Breyer’s approach is that the Constitution enshrines values and principles, but it grants judges the flexibility to apply those principles to changing circumstances (Yale 11). Hence, pragmatist judges embrace constitutional

The assumption approach is the result of two Supreme Court cases, Horowitz and Ewing. In Horowitz, a medical student brought a due process claim against the University of Missouri-Kansas City for dismissing her for academic reasons. The Supreme Court first discussed whether Horowitz had a protected interest. The Supreme Court noted that the plaintiff never alleged a property interest, but that if she were to do so, she would have to rely upon Missouri state law to have a valid claim. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court assumed the plaintiff had a property interest in her case without deciding the question. Instead of addressing the property interest question, the Supreme Court found that the university provided the plaintiff sufficient process under the Fourteenth Amendment, and therefore the Supreme Court never determined whether the student had a property interest in her education.

Following the termination of the Colorado State University women’s varsity softball team on June 1, 1992; plaintiffs sought reinstatement on the basis of a Title IX violation ("Roberts v. Colorado State University, 814 F. Supp. 1507 (D. Colo. 1993) :: Justia," 1993). The girls found terminating their sports team to be unjust. The plaintiffs argued financial difficulties and lack of participation and support for the boy’s baseball team did not warrant termination of the softball program. They also argued getting recruited to play Division I level softball afforded them a better chance at improving their future. Most girls had a substantial amount of scholarship money that helped them afford college ("Roberts v. Colorado State University, 814

Missouri v. McNeely(2013) was a case decided by the US Supreme Court on an appeal from the Supreme Court in Missouri, regarding exceptions to the Fourth Amendment under exigent circumstances. On October 3, 2010, Tyler Gabriel McNeely was stopped by a police officer in Missouri for speeding and crossing over a centerline. The police officer asked McNeely if he could take a breath test to measure his blood alcohol level because he had noticed signs of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and the smell of alcohol. After refusing to take the breath test, McNeely was arrested and taken to a nearby hospital so they could do a blood test. McNeely refused, but the officer still told a lab technician to take his blood. His blood alcohol level tested far above the legal limit, and he was later charged with driving under the influence. He later argued that the taking of his blood without consent violated his Fourth Amendment rights in which the court agreed. I found this case interesting because we see a lot of drunk driving today and it 's an uneasy feeling knowing that drunk drivers could possibly get away with the crime they are committing since it may take a while for an officer to get a warrant. I would like to see the stages that the Supreme Court went through to get to the decision they came up with.

Legislation passed under former Chief Justice John Marshall would continue the Federalists agenda to define a strong central government while diminishing state level powers. Arguably the most important Supreme Court case in history, Marbury v. Madison’s (1803) presided over the commissions of several judges appointed in the final hours of the Adams administration. Chief Justice Marshall would deny the petition and writ, claiming the court did not have the power to issue them however; he awarded the plaintiffs their commissions. As result Marshall’s decision established judicial review allowing federal courts to nullify acts of Congress that violate the Constitution. Despite the immediate limitations Marshall place on the court his actions would

In 2012, Janis E. Roberts sued her former employer (CareFlite) for what she reasoned was an invasion of privacy by intrusion upon seclusion. CareFlite argues that Roberts was terminated for what they deemed as “unprofessional and insubordinate” (CITE THE CASE) activity posted on her Facebook. Roberts was working as a paramedic and she posted a comment on her coworker Schoenhardt’s page claiming that she “wanted to slap the patient” (CITE THE CASE) who was deemed to require restraining. An officer from Careflite noticed the post and the officer sent Roberts a message regarding the fact that the public can see her post and encourages Roberts to delete it. After Roberts responded to the officer’s message with an aggressive tone, Roberts deleted her original post that contained the “slap” comment. After this occurred, Roberts sent her coworker and email of the exchange of the messages between her and the compliance officer. However, Roberts

Throughout the history of the United States, the Supreme Court has decided the interpretation of the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land. They have settled many cases and set many precedents that have changed life in America since its inception. It was the Supreme Court who protected the freedom of speech when a man tried to burn the flag. It was the Supreme Court who decided that a person could not be forced to recite the pledge of allegiance if it went against their religion. And it was the Supreme Court who decided that a free citizen of the United States couldn’t be kept from a public school because of his or her race.

While the American judiciary was expected to be away from politics and that justice as rain is equal to the rich and the poor and the democratic and republican and white and black and all segments of other American society of Latin and Red Indians and others.

The Supreme Court does not have set terms. They usually stay in Supreme Court until they die or retire. The Supreme court is important because they are the top court, they deal with the constitutional and unconstitutional things, and involve others.

Before we look into Justice Roberts, role and his argument we must first understand the basis of his argument. The Supreme Court of the United States made a decision determining that the U.S. Constitution requires states to license marriages between each and every same-sex couple. This decision clearly swept away state laws defining marriage as solely between a female and a male. This defining decision determined that the Court must now hold that states must recognize same-sex marriages. This decision on Obergefell is something that I agree with and respect the process of how they got there. The court believed that marriage is among the most intimate decision that an individual can make. Justice Kennedy wrote the 5-4 opinion. That being said,

Following on, The Roskill Committee concluded that a trial by a random jury was not an adequate way of achieving justice in such cases, with many jurors being 'out of their depth', arguing even the most qualified individuals may struggle with the huge amounts of documents presented to them. (Roskill Committee, 1986) However, the Committee was unable to find any precise evidence that showed a higher proportion of acquittals in complex fraud cases than in any other kind of case, with the majority of their conclusions and findings being based on research by Baldwin and McConville in 1979, and yet none of the questionable acquittals reported were related to complex fraud cases. Therefore, this proves to be quite a limited source in showing juries

Based on Rubio’s medical condition and age, the implications of this sentence remain nothing short of a life sentence. Furthermore, the stressed involved when considering the foregoing during this case added significant pressure.

The case of Winterburn v Bennett involved the appellants Mr. and Mrs. Winterburn who owned a fish and chip shop in Keighley, West Yorkshire. They had owned a 20-year lease on the property the shop was located until 2007 when they registered as freehold proprietors. They were in dispute with the respondents Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, who owned the carpark and other social facilities on the same land in dispute. The property was bought from the Conservative Club Association (Club) in 2010 and was let to a tenant in 2012, who then obstructed access to the carpark.
