Facts: During 1971, The New York Times got a hold of leaked documents from the Pentagon all about the current war in Vietnam. The Government fearing that it might put troops at risk decided to use prior restraint to stop the production of the newspaper but the New York Times challenged their use of prior restraint saying that it was unconstitutional. Issue: Is it constitutional for the government to use prior restraint to stop production of a newspaper? Ruling: The Supreme court decided that it was unconstitutional to stop the New York Times from printing the paper and also decided that printing such material wouldn't risk the lives of troops.

How many of you remember 9/11? Maybe some of you were only 6 or 7 like me and cant remember the actual day, but every year on that memorial day we are reminded of what happened, but did you know that with out all the efforts of what the CIA did it could have bin worst? Water boarding being illegal is limiting the authority the CIA has for interrogations when it comes to national security.

U3Q2D3-Dist-2010-2011 As Susan B Anthony stated, ?It was we the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people who formed the Union.? Consistent with this view, enfranchisement has been expanded to virtually all American citizens through constitutional amendments and legislative acts of Congress. Suffrage has been expanded as a result of disenfranchised groups fighting for their right to be represented in government.
