Politics w/ Mr. D

 OK - a simple plan but a bit different than before.  Your comments will be made in two stages.  You might want to open up a word processor to write your blog comments on, then you can copy and paste them to the comment page.  You'll be hopping around in the middle of writing your comments, so if you do this you won't have to worry about accidentally closing the blog window and losing your comments.

FIRST:Read these two articles from WorldNetDaily:

1. Justice: Can Constitution make it in global age?
2. O'Connor: U.S. must rely on foreign law
   

SECOND: Write your comments as usual.  Refer to specific points in the article!

THIRD: AFTER you have read the articles and written your comments -- but before you post anything -- read what Article 6 (clause 2) of the U.S. Constitution says.  (Click the link to the Constitution and scroll down to Article 6, clause 2.)  It may shed new light on your thinking or perhaps reinforce what you already wrote.

FOURTH: In light of what you just read (Article 6 of the Constitution), add any further thoughts you have below what you already wrote and now post all of it.  If you already knew what Article 6 says, just say so at the end.

Yeah, i know these articles are 5½ years old; Chief Justice Wm. Rehnquist died and was replaced by John Roberts; Sandra Day O'Connor retired and was replaced by Samuel Alito; BUT the issues discussed are very much alive and kicking RIGHT NOW.

DEADLINE: Sunday night @ midnight!

  JUNIORS!  Review for tomorrow's test by going to the new links on the homework page -- also, all chapter reviews and such MUST be in tomorrow.
