week 3 discussion

 Analyze One U.S. Supreme Court Justice       

Choose one, current Supreme Court justice, and provide a biography of significant events in the justice’s life, the political labels placed on the justice, an examination of whether or not that political label is accurate, and an analysis of the judge’s philosophy on constitutional issues. It is recommended that your post contain approximately 400 words.

Guided Response:
U.S. Supreme Court justices are people too. Examine where the justice of your choice originated and major life events which may shape her/his views when deciding a matter of national importance. Analyze whether or not it is appropriate for justices to use their real-life, prior experiences in their interpretations of the law. Review your colleagues’ posts, and substantively respond to at least two of your peers. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7 of the week, and respond with robust dialogue to anyone who replies to your initial post.
