Source: Democrats approve Illegal spy bill, Telecom Immunity (FISA)

Constitutional Connection:

Article 3,The Judicial Branch


Analysis of the Connection:

Bush was trying to legalize a spying bill. This would state that the government could spy on anyone without  their permission. Bush already had Telecom Immunity spying on people. Therefore it would just be just making this official by law. It will allow them to tap wires in to foreigners and Americans without a warrant.

This video demonstrates the judicial branch. Bush was trying to make spying without a warrant illegal, but only toward the government. Some people agree with the bill and some really disagree. The Democrats were never really engaged in this.This bill has no public value. It is solely for the benefits of the government. Bush already had an illegal spying program. The Democrats are giving in and some people are worry because almost every bill propose was passed.

I really disagree with this that Bush was trying to passed because has no respect for the public. I say this because  it  gives noone any for sure privacy except maybe parts of the government. This would totally violate privacy rights as well the forth amendment. If i know i   was  or  could possibly be being spied on I would be paranoxed,and I think allot of others would be too. Then allot of people could be incriminated because of things they say when maybe it was just a way of phrasing something. I thought this video was interesting because i disagreed and wanted to express my opinion.

Constitutional Connection:

Article 2, The Executive Branch

 Analysis of the Connection:

 In this cartoon the foxes and Pinocchio suppose to be Fox news and the tall black man being stabbed by Pinocchio nose is President Obama. Fox news lied about some of the news they reported. Then they framed it as an attack by the executive branch on the "Forth Estate" of journalism. When the Pinocchio says " WE ARE SO A REL NEWS ORGANIZATION!" his nose grew really long symbolising that he was lying about something. Pinocchio's nose grew so long that it stabbed Obama.

This cartoon demonstrates the executive branch because it shows how the executive  branch won the case against fox although it was hard. For Obama this issue was like political suicide  to him that's why the nose is stabbing he in the heart. Obama is one  big and hovering over the "reporters" because it was like he was the wining but was just stabbed by politics.It was like the reporter tried to get information for the man and put in a way they want to making it not true.

I couldn't imagine if news reporters could lie tell lies in their reports to the public when its suppose to be facts. Most of the people dont want the lies of life they want the facts of what's really going on in the world. Obama took a risk for the better of the truth of journalism. This cartoon was interesting because they used cartoon character off movies for the bad guys, and a human for the guy won and politically killed. I believe that being a news reporter is about telling the truth and nothing else.

Nancy Pelosi keeps losing Democrats on tax cuts

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0910/42330_Page.html

 

Contitutional Connection:

 

Article 2, The Excutive Branch

 

 

Analysisof the Connection:

 

While President Barack Obama is trying to cut taxes on people that have am imcome of less than 250,000, and rise taxes on  the people that make over 250,000, Nancy Pelosi keeps losing Demcrats on the tax cuts. A least 38 House Demcrats are publicly coming out and speaking on how they feel about this and how they dont agree. Even Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, who heads Democratic campaign efforts, has argued privately for taking a political issue off the table by giving a short reprieve to wealthy folks before the midterm elections.

 

This artilce clearly demonstrates The Excutive Branch. Nancy  Pelosi is losing  some Democrats to the tax cuts because some of them disagree with the way taxes will be rised on wealthy people. This article demonstrates that this makes those Democrats  upset because the majority are wealthy. The Republicans want to just rise taxes for everyone, but they dont want income tax rates to rise before the end of next year. this doesnt make it fair to the people that dont have as such money as the wealthy or way less. In the article it states "   Democrats also fear fallout in expensive suburban districts where $250,000 a year doesn't put couples in the jet set."

 

I feel that the Democrats and republicans that disagree that this should be a bill are just selfish because in the event that their wealthy they dont want taxes rised on them. In this situation they thinking of themselves and not the people. By rising taxes on lower income people it will evenually create more poverty than there already is and than what be done to fix that damage. Noone wants to pay more taxes, but why not when you have an excessable amount of money. How would you feel if you were the not the wealthy?

Constitution Connection:

Article 1, The Legislative Branch

Analysis of the Constitutional:

While republicans are speaks out about state spending some of the demcrats are agreeing with this concept. Government's saying they will give tax creditsto programs and then withdraw them when the business needs the money to spend. William Magnarelli  thinks that they should have just stoppped some programs altogther or had them pay on time.

This video clearly demonstrates a legislative action. Lawmakers want to restirt state spending. They are trying to end programs getting tax credit because of the exspenses.The  issue is a legislative action to end some programs that offered tax credits to businesses across the state to create more  jobs.  Magnarelli's GOP challenger said the lawmakers have damaged the state's credibility on economic development.

I think that Magnarelli's right because by lying and agreeing to give tax credit when you know  your going to take it back when you want to use it. Now that for one thing i think is wrong.   The powers shouldnt be able to do programs and the people wrong like this there should be something done to stop it. This is how i feel about this issue.

PA TOON -- PA legislative surplus COLOR

Contitutional Connection:
 
Article 1, Legislative Branch
Analysis of the Connection:

In this cartoon there is a fat lady who is suppose to be the PA legislative eating all of the food which is the general assebly surplus. While there are people  starving who are the envoriment, libaraies, and public television. In the cartoon the starving 3 people say "And dont forget the cake " and then the fat lady says "I ate that too." This means she left nothing for the others.

This article proves a legislative action. It shows the PA legislative eating all of the  general assebly surplus without giving any to the envirment, libraries, and public television. This cartoon demonstrates that the PA legislative is using all of the resoures and the surplus for themselves not sharing  or giving any to the people and programs that need it therefore they are starving and stuggleing.PA legislative  is basically being selfish in this instant.

I believe this is completely wrong because it's like their not using their powers correctly which is a disadvantage in other people and their programs that need to be funded.  i think it is okay to have one power if used and utlized correctly helping and benefiting who may need it. This cartoon makes the PA legislative look selfish and un responisble because thier programs that are starving and all they are thinking of is themselves. It also makes them look greedy.

Constitional Connection:

Article 1, The Legislative Branch

Analysis of the Connection:

The third  party organizations surged moved forward in August. There are very large sums of money being put into organizations between the republicans and democrats. Some have more money put into them than others.  The Democrats were raising money for some of their programs. these are a couple of the things done when a campaign is going on.

This article clearly  demonstrates the actions made in the legislative branch. The different parties are having a election cost allot of money and there are different ways to get the money for the canpaign .It seems that the popular parties get and can raise more money which is the Democrats. Some donors give donation to the campaign. It could become a problem because we don't know who's funding these organizations.

I think they need to find the source to who is funding these campaigns so that it wont become a problem in the long run.  This is important because it can there are many other problems to face and endure in a campaign and by solving this probem that is one less needed to worry about. I also believe  that they should keep things fair. This article reminds me of campaigns of class presidents.
