The entertainment industry is encouraging young people to defy and deceive their parents.
journey decision choices
On every journey you take, you are met with options. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. These are the decisions that shape your life.
president lawyer constitution
In 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt reminded us that the Constitution is, and I quote, "a layman's document, not a lawyer's contract."
judging temptation needs
Judges need to restrict themselves to the proper resolution of the case before them. They need to avoid the temptation to set broad policy.
children issues groups
I put a lot of emphasis on childrens issues. Children are many times ignored because they dont vote, and they dont have lobby groups.
children hiv care
It is my mission to ensure that HIV-positive children and children with AIDS are no longer overlooked and that they begin receiving the treatment and care they deserve.
becoming illness violent
I have seen the cycle of a non-violent, mentally ill offender who is arrested repeatedly and put into the system repeatedly-never being treated for his illness and, as a result, becoming more and more ill.
jobs opportunity thinking
Im for the fracking. I think its an opportunity for Ohio to really get a lot of jobs. But we have to do it right. We have to really take a deep breath, do it right, make sure the public is protected, make sure our land is protected.
judging people democracy
Our constitutional system is founded on democracy: the will of the people, not the unchecked rule of judges.
issues judging people
The Constitution empowers the people to resolve our day's most contentious issues. When judges forget this basic truth, they do a disservice to our democracy and to our constitution.
play doe roles
Without question, the court does play a vital role in our constitutional system.
government self issues
In my opinion, Chief Justice Roberts put it best during his recent confirmation hearings. And he said, and I quote, "The framers were not the sort of people, having fought a revolution to get the right of self-government to sit down and say, 'Well, let's take all the difficult issues before us and let's have the judges decide them.' That would have been the farthest thing from their mind," however, I fear that the Supreme Court forgets this advice.
judging people decision
After all, our Constitution was intended as a popular document. It was drafted and ratified by the people. It established democratic institutions. It entrusts the people with the power to make the tough decisions. And, in most cases, it prefers the will of the people to the unchecked rule of judges.
