Rehnquist would “often draft his own opinion and then tried to bring everyone around.”(Tobin 180) All the justices loved Rehnquist. When he went into the hospital in 2004 due to thyroid cancer, they knew he was dying. Even so, Rehnquist did not want to retire from the Supreme Court. He still wanted to be involved He even made an “unsteady journey” to administer the Oath of Office to President George W. Bush. Even though he was away from the court building, he still listened to tapes, cast votes, and made assignments. With Rehnquist gone from the building, it was up to O’Connor and Kennedy to avoid controversy because they were Rehnquist’s beneficiaries. Anthony M. Kennedy was persuaded by his surroundings. A year after he was appointed

F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson admired Marshall by recognizing his high level of legal, moral and performance standard. President Johnson appointed Marshall to the US Supreme Court in 1967, where he served until 1991. Marshall also served as top aide to President Bill Clinton until his death in 1993. (3, 84)
Under the U.S. Constitution, this appointment is a lifelong position that will only be nullified if the judge resigns their post or dies in office. This creates serious contests within the partisan political environment found among federal representatives, for any candidate appointed to this post helps define the direction of the Supreme Court for the rest of their life. Thus, it is frequently believed that a president who appoints a judge to the Supreme Court is creating a legacy, helping to shape the direction of the laws for the country for a time long after their presidency has expired. This makes the selection of a judge a hotly contested process.
Two past presidents of the United States leading America through tough times and crisis’. Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy were two of the most significant leaders in America. Kennedy and Reagan were very popular presidents. When Reagan took office he got shot but it didn’t kill him. Reagan had a lot of integrity in his personal life where Kennedy didn’t. Reagan was faithful to his wife while Kennedy ran around with other women. They were both powerful communicators. Reagan had a greater impact because of the way that he spoke he was able to articulate conservatism in a way that nobody else was able to do. Reagan and Kennedy both led presidencies that were compelling and significant.
Quindlen and Kennedy have similarities and differences in their styles.Both authors qoute outside sources to support what they're trying to get across. However, Kennedy uses factual data to make a better understanding, and Quindlen uses Metaphors/ Analogies. First ”The National Opinion Research center agreed with this statement:’The U.S. is a unique country that stands for something special in the world ’ ” (Quindlen 15).Secondly “A German farmer wrote home from Missouri in 1834, If you wish to see our whole family living in… a country where freedom of speech obtains , where no spies are eavesdropping, were no simpletons criticize your every word and seek to detect therein a venom that might endanger the life of the state, the church

Reasoning- The Supreme Court’s decision was split and provided various points of view on the issues just like the American population and some sections are still being challenged today. Chief Justice Roberts was joined by Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayer, and Kagan to form the opinion of the court on this case. However, there are sections where Justices felt split on the opinion. Due to this reason, there is a detailed explanation of which
Someone once said, “Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.” In this case, Patrick Henry and John F. Kennedy are two individuals, that set out to make a difference, giving them views of freedom, equality and nationalism. Henry is known for his speech to the Virginia Convention, fighting to free Virginia from British actions toward colonies in America. He was letting people know he will do anything to be free from them. Then there was John F. Kennedy with his Inaugural Address, telling listeners about liberty and peace and that both Americans and people from worldwide should unite no matter if the problem was in the United States, or global, he will cover every issue.
With the end of World War Two and the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, the United States emerged on the global stage as one of the planet's great economic and military powers. It is safe to say that with America's change in status, and in conjunction with profound industrial and technological change, that presidential leadership would necessarily have to transform yet again to meet a new era; nowhere could two different styles of leadership to meet the age be seen than in the Cold War administrations of Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. Both men would exhibit a unique style of leadership suited to the personality of each, and each style could be considered to characterize the administration of each president, but nevertheless, both men would also use very similar leadership styles when necessary in order to attain certain policy goals.
These two stories, “ A Quilt of A Country” and “ The immigrant contribution” , are really good on describing why immigrants were important. Kennedy and Quindlen’s stories both use good examples of tone and diction. A few examples of diction they use are formal, informal, abstract, concrete, and many more. Kennedy and Quinlden don't use the same exact tone and diction as each other throughout their whole stories. There are a lot of similarities and differences between their writings.
Through the use of direct and indirect characterisation, Markus Zusak establishes the character Ed Kennedy. Ed Kennedy's character is mostly established through direct characterization as he is the narrator and the reader has direct insight into his thoughts and feelings. At the beginning of the novel explicit characterization is used when Ed Kennedy introduces himself rather incongruously in the middle of a bank robbery and succinctly telling the reader: “My full name’s Ed Kennedy. I’m nineteen. I’m an underage cabdriver. I’m typical of many of the young men you see in this suburban outpost of the city—not a whole lot of prospects or possibility. That aside, I read more books than I should, and I’m decidedly crap at sex and doing my taxes.
Jacqueline Kennedy's smiling face shines out from the surface of Andy Warhol's Jackie, embodying "Camelot", the dream of a new American renaissance that accompanied John F. Kennedy's election as the 35th President of the United States. Warhol based this painting on a press photograph of the First Lady, taken just hours before an assassin's bullet shattered the dream. The First Lady appears relaxed and glamorous in this intimate portrait with her pillbox hat and fur-collared coat. Marking out this screen's rare quality, we can clearly see the President over her right shoulder, smiling enthusiastically, blissfully unaware of the impending tragedy. Warhol seized upon this image, one of many of Jackie that saturated the media for days and days after the president's death. The media process fascinated Warhol, as did the ensuing frenzy and demand for national and international grief. He took this image and, with his unrivalled ability to capture the contemporary
