US Government [Friday, March 23, 1st period]
Josh looked up from his crossword puzzle when the government class began walking in.
"Today we talk about the judicial branch," he said. "Specifically, the Supreme Court: the people who will decide if the bills the Congress passes and the President signs are Constitutional." He grinned. "So, other than wear cool robes, what do they do?"
Josh lectured from his notes. He spent a lot of time on landmark Court cases, too. You might think Marbury v. Madison and Dred Scot would be on a test sometime soon.
"All right," he said. "We know that the only way to get rid of a member of the Supreme Court is either through retirement or the icy hand of death. Why do you think the Founders decided that was important for the federal judiciary? Do you think they would've reconsidered given that we live much longer now?"
