two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-state? (Supreme Court of the United States, 2015 Jan.) Thus, the case would revolve around the Equal Protections Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Obergefell v. Hodges would focus on answering the second question: whether or not the Fourteenth Amendment requires a state to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when the marriage was performed in a different state.

balance, the case of Obergefell v Hodges illustrates the constrained court view, suggesting that the Supreme Court is likely to be constrained when at least one of the constraints mentioned above is in tact. A doctrinal constraint can be met through specific laws, an institutional constraint can be met through inactive or ineffective legislative backlash, and finally, a cultural constraint can be met through the court’s adherence to cultural trends. The case of Obergefell v Hodges began in early 2014

Introduction A Writ of Habeas Corpus is an authoritative order forcing governments to provide the “body” of the detainee in which the legality of their detention and individual liberties will be challenged. Historically associated with civil liberty violation and the injustice of illegally detaining potentially enemies of the state, jurisdictional issues regarding their detaining location have made justice difficult to administer and deliver. Detaining enemies for their participation, involvement

The facts of Padilla v. Rumsfeld The case is about detention of a citizen from the United States of America unlawfully without being charged or tried. The issue in the case is whether the military officials violate the law through such conducting such a detention unless the Congress authorizes them to do so. Jose Padilla, an American, returned from Pakistan in 2002 when he was later arrested in O’Hare International Airport in Chicago (Ann, 2004). At first, he was detained as a witness during the

Civil Liberties, Habeas Corpus, and the War on Terror Charlotte Ashford University 04//2013 POL 201 Instructor Civil Liberties, Habeas Corpus, and the War on Terror have all played a role throughout history. Throughout history, the motivation of man’s self interest has concluded in the domination of those with little or no power in the absence of the rule of law. The war on terror presents an unpredictable challenge for the United States since terrorists are apprehended

the U.S. Constitution that states that the writ of Habeas Corpus can only be lifted if the people being questioned in involved in a rebellion or pose a threat to the safety of the public. That is why the administration of the previous U.S. President Bush detained all of the people whom they tagged as terrorist and were captured in the war on Afghanistan in 2001.

Is it ever acceptable to torture a man to the point of inflicting suicidal thoughts and actions on him? This instance commonly takes place at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, or GTMO (“Gitmo”). Only 6 of the 166 current detainees have been formally charged, which leaves the possibility that over 96% of the prisoners there are innocent. In fact, more men have died at Guantanamo than have ever been convicted. GTMO’s existence is a controversial topic because of the treatment of detainees, various

The United States for over a decade now has been attempting to find appropriate routes of compensating and protecting their citizens from terrorism. After the attacks on September 11, 2001 the legislature has made it one of their top priorities. The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) was introduced in the Senate as S. 2040 by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) on September 16, 2015. The bill was passed through the Senate on May 17, 2016 by a voice vote, passed through the House of Representatives

President Abraham Lincoln suspended writs of habeas corpus. Both presidents based their action on the dangers of war, and both presidents faced sharp criticism for carrying out what many believed to be an attack on the Constitution. President Bush suspended writs of habeas corpus through his support and signed into law the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This bill granted the President of the United States almost unlimited authority in establishing and conducting military commissions
