1. The law of abortion will be reviewed in Texas by the supreme court. The folks will know monday morning. The people think that the law being reviewed is a good thing. The Texas Attorney General feels like its a good thing because the new standards were meant to help women seeking abortion.
2. The manslaughter charges against Charles Klerinert were layed off and no charges were pressed against him. The precedent used was ruled Oct. 29, from 125 years ago, written to protect circuit riding federal agents. Klerinert's defense relied on a U.S. constitutional provision known as Supremacy Clause, which declares the Constitution the primary law of land. I think that the far reaching impact in this issue was that Klerinert got away with killing someone in 2013 and that he had no charge for it. Which I think is unfair because the took someones life.
3. UT's basketball team is taking this pretty well and they seem exited, however Washington seems to want to be prepared and have actually taken the academic way to prepare by taking mandarin classes. It is going to be historical because it is going to be played like an NBA and ESPN type of venue. This has made other universities to want to do the same. Some concerns for the head coach is that he is worried about his teams eating schedule and strength as a whole.
4. History was made on sunday in Mayanmar when the general election was held in order to test if the military can be loosened up. The day was very tremendous and filled with hope. The main fight is between Suu Kyi's National League for democracy and the ruling Union Solidarity Development Party.
5. Pope Francis said that the theft of documents describing financial malfeasance inside the Holy See was a "crime" but pledged to continue reforms of its administration. The two discoveries made with the finding of the books were that the detail mismanagement and alleged greed in the Vatican, and are seen as part of a bitter internal struggle between reformers and the old guard, according to the article. I think he still feels upset because after this "crime" he has had to re-address lots of things.
6. The sanctuary cities so far in the article are Austin, Houston and Dallas, (as seen on cartoon). The two opinions in the articles are the decision to not detain immigrants who are brought in for minor offenses, and that every crime committed by an illegal immigrant was preventable if the sanctuary cities were taken down. The article on the left uses a lot Valdez to support his side and more evidence. The article on the right I feel uses a lot more conclusions from its one or two clues. The cartoons in this article both dramatically advertise the subject, the billboard is kind of standing like a huge sign to illegal immigrants to come, and the statue of liberty is kind of wanting to step in tell others, hey I am here. I really do not want to answer what side I would take, just because I don't know, I more likely would take Valdez's side just because it seems a lot more fair for the immigrants. This article(s) is different because it has a big title and two separate articles with separate pictures explaining different sides, kind of like a ven diagram. I think this was a good idea, it was a great change and to me a change gets me exited to read. It allows the reader to know the good and bad side of things and haves fun reading along too, definitely something I would love to do in the future.
1. But why would the Supreme Court want to review the Texas law? It's too see if the law is too restrictive. The standard of providing an "undue burden" could be clarified. The AG said that the law was to make abortions safer not more difficult to get. (-2)
ReplyDelete2. You got this mostly correct. But the part you didn't get was why Kleinert was protected under the Supremacy Clause. The clause says that FEDERAL officers can't be tried LOCALLY, and he was a local officer but served on a FEDERAL task force. I agree with you. It's bogus, but it is worse than that because a lot of other policeman will be able to avoid a trial because they also served in some FEDERAL capacity. (-1).
3. It was historic because it was the first time a regular-season college game was played in China. (-1)
4. Not loosening up the military but removing from power a party that was tied to the military. Who is likely to win? And why is that a big deal? (-2)
5. What were the acts of corruption described in the article? He said he felt betrayed and that people would be confused by the accounts in the books. (-2)
6. Your first explanation doesn't include the opinion of the author. Yes it's about the decision not to detain, but it defends this decision and attacks Republicans for making this a political issue and not a policy debate. I agree it's like a Venn diagram. It's significant in the Statue of Liberty cartoon that Gov. Abbott is ignoring Lady Liberty. What do you think that is supposed to represent? The billboard and the the barbed wire are sending opposite messages which is exactly what the author is saying is happening in cities that don't report illegal immigrants. There is no board editorial on this editorial page. What do you think of that? (-2)
