   recess around the end of June
They hear arguments over a two week period, giving each

  100 out of thousands submitted
Simple majority vote (at least 5 justices agreeing) decides a
  case

Questions? Discuss
Art. III Sect. 1
How are federal judges given their jobs?
Art. III Sect. 1
How are federal judges given their jobs?
- appointed by the President, subject to Senate confirmation;
   (Art. II Sect. 2) often controversial today
How long does a federal judge serve?
Art. III Sect. 1
How are federal judges given their jobs?
- appointed by the President, subject to Senate confirmation
   (Art. II Sect. 2)
How long does a federal judge serve?
- as long as he behaves well (whatever that means!) or until
   he resigns, dies, or is impeached
Is this undefined term length a good idea? Why did the
   Founders set it up this way?
Art. III Sect. 1
How are federal judges given their jobs?
- appointed by the President, subject to Senate confirmation
   (Art. II Sect. 2)
How long does a federal judge serve?
- as long as he behaves well (whatever that means!) or until
   he resigns, dies, or is impeached
Why did the Founders set it up this way?
- They wanted an independent judiciary free from politics so
   the judges would make rulings based on the law rather
   than to keep their jobs
Should judge's terms be limited? They are in most states, but
  not in the federal judiciary
Controversy over the Supreme
               Court
Why have Supreme Court nominations become so heated
 and controversial?
Controversy over the Supreme
                Court
Why have Supreme Court nominations become so heated
 and controversial?
- Because the Supreme Court has so much power and
   sometimes legislates or sets policy from the bench
What are some examples of this?
Controversy over the Supreme
                Court
Why have Supreme Court nominations become so heated
 and controversial?
- Because the Supreme Court has so much power and
   sometimes legislates or sets policy from the bench
What are some examples of this?
- Dred Scott, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (ended
   school segregation), Roe v. Wade (right of privacy allows
   abortion), school prayer cases, etc.
What is the difference between judicial restraint and judicial
 activism?
Judicial Activism v. Judicial Restraint
Judicial restraint = strict constructivism, in which judges only
  apply the clear meaning of the Constitution to make their
  decisions
Judicial activism = broad constructivism, in which judges act
  as policymakers, interpretating the Constitution to meet
  present needs
Watch video of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg being
 interviewed on Egyptian TV
Which category does she fall under?
The problem for me is that our nation no longer reveres or
  recognizes the value of Biblical and traditional thinking of
  the past in the realm of law. Without a firm foundation of
  truth, we are vulnerable to the whims of the day.
Art. III Sect. 2.3: Trials
All federal criminal trials are by jury (except impeachment)
All trials will be held in the state in which the crime was
  supposedly committed unless it was not committed in any
  state. In that case Congress will choose the place
How many of you have witnessed a live trial? Any
 comments?
Criminal law = crimes against the people in general such as
  murder, theft, rape, etc.
Civil law = involves a dispute between two individuals or
  parties such as breach of contract, often includes suing the
  defendant; usually heard by a judge w/o a jury
Jury = group of people sworn to render a verdict in a court of
  law
Art. III Sect. 3: Treason
Treason = ?
Art. III Sect. 3: Treason
Treason = making war against the US or helping an enemy
  of the US by giving him aid and comfort; only crime that is
  defined in the Constitution
- Note: This does not include thoughts or words that are
   critical of the US or that praise an enemy
Requires the testimony of at least two witnesses to convict
 someone of treason
Confession of treason must be public (can't be result of
 torture or interrogation behind closed doors
Punishment = ?

II Sect. 2) How long does a federal judge serve? - as long as he behaves well (whatever that means!) or until he resigns, dies, or is impeached Is this undefined term length a good idea? Why did the Founders set it up this way?
  • 21. Art. III Sect. 1 How are federal judges given their jobs? - appointed by the President, subject to Senate confirmation (Art. II Sect. 2) How long does a federal judge serve? - as long as he behaves well (whatever that means!) or until he resigns, dies, or is impeached Why did the Founders set it up this way? - They wanted an independent judiciary free from politics so the judges would make rulings based on the law rather than to keep their jobs Should judge's terms be limited?

  • 24. Controversy over the Supreme Court Why have Supreme Court nominations become so heated and controversial? - Because the Supreme Court has so much power and sometimes legislates or sets policy from the bench What are some examples of this? - Dred Scott, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (ended school segregation), Roe v. Wade (right of privacy allows abortion), school prayer cases, etc. What is the difference between judicial restraint and judicial activism?
  • 25. Judicial Activism v. Judicial Restraint Judicial restraint = strict constructivism, in which judges only apply the clear meaning of the Constitution to make their decisions Judicial activism = broad constructivism, in which judges act as policymakers, interpretating the Constitution to meet present needs Watch video of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg being interviewed on Egyptian TV Which category does she fall under? The problem for me is that our nation no longer reveres or recognizes the value of Biblical and traditional thinking of the past in the realm of law. Without a firm foundation of truth, we are vulnerable to the whims of the day.
  • 26. Art. III Sect. 2.3: Trials All federal criminal trials are by jury (except impeachment) All trials will be held in the state in which the crime was supposedly committed unless it was not committed in any state.

Criminal law = crimes against the people in general such as murder, theft, rape, etc. Civil law = involves a dispute between two individuals or parties such as breach of contract, often includes suing the defendant; usually heard by a judge w/o a jury Jury = group of people sworn to render a verdict in a court of law
