In Morrison v. Olsen, the issue of the Independent Counsel Provision in the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 was challenged and the court decided that it was not unconstitutional because it did not violate the separation of powers by taking power from the Executive and giving more to the Judicial or Legislative branches. Alexia Morrison had been appointed as the independent counsel to investigate Morrison to see if he had violated federal law; he sued her arguing that the Independent Counsel had taken away powers from the executive. The majority held that Morrison was an “inferior officer” due to the ability of the Attorney General to remove her for “good cause”, she can only perform certain limited duties, she is limited in jurisdiction, and…
Candidate Miller struggled to deliver a five paragraph order that was in accordance with the OSMEAC format. Although SNC was able to brief some of the information he received from the instructor, he only mentioned "mission" and "signal" before briefing the sub-paragraphs. Additionally, SNC delivered the order with choppy, mumbled phrases and utilized excessive filler words. Candidate Miller displayed minimal confidence, and although he briefed a scheme of maneuver prior to execution, it was clear that he was making it up as he briefed. The tasks he gave to his fire team also lacked clarity and gave the impression they had not been thought through. During the execution, SNC used phrases that displayed lack of assertiveness such as "we should…

The entire mission needed a leader. Unfortunately, there was not one specific person leading the mission, therefore causing a loss of communication and execution.…
Candidate Kaberides was evidently confident upon the commencement of his five paragraph order briefing. SNC was able to formulate a solid verbal plan of execution in which the content was clear and direct, leaving no unanswered questions. Upon initial execution and negotiation of the obstacle, SNC was able to rapidly produce a backup plan to the unsuccessful initial plan, without hesitation. SNC's effective communication skills and ability to utilize his fire team throughout the course was evident and portrayed him as a natural leader under pressure. SNC and his fire team maintained focus on the mission at hand, steadily pursuing the objective. SNC's steadfast confidence and sense of urgency was also clearly evident throughout the problem…
Candidate Oblea Delivered his five paragraph order ensuring to cover all paragraphs, however his understanding of the order was poor. The coordinating instructions seemed as though they were ignored during the execution phase. Fire team members violated the boundaries set in the coordinating instructions. SNC displayed a complete lack of confidence during his brief and execution phase. When approaching friction points SNC could not adjust his scheme of maneuver, instead he paused and could not proceed through the course. SNC did not effectively utilize his fire team to their potential, he would state what needed to be done and instead of delegating he would actually execute the order himself. The management of time was…
Candidate Flack displayed solid command presence as he appeared comfortable by giving a clear and concise brief that included detailed orders to his team. His tone was filled with enthusiasm and excitement by speaking loud throughout the exection, in combination with constant use of hand/arm signals. Candidate Flack had his team moving at a good pace during movement toward the objective; however, he was not keeping a good eye on the location of his team members. Candidate Flack heard the sound of the enemy coming from the right of his team and changed their formation while changing their direction of movement toward the sound of the enemy. Upon receiving fire from the enemy, the ADDRAC was announced and he directed buddy rushing. Initially…
SNC confidently addressed all paragraphs of the order in a logical and confident manner. SNC’s initial plan lacked specific tasking and direction. SNC had initial difficulty issuing orders and direction. SNC used phrases which included “Let’s get two candidates” to complete a task and “do you want to give it a try.” SNC used available resources and became more confident in leading as SNC’s subordinates responded to tasking and began to gain momentum. SNC overcame friction points. As SNC made initial success, SNC became more directive and assertive in leading after the first candidate overcame the obstacle and secured the ammo can. SNC was…
1) The media comes up with their own ideas on the case and sways everyone else's opinion and half of the information stated is false. The media should not play a role in the legal system and it should be left to the court. I don't think we should tell the media as much as we do because they tend to sway opinions.…
There was no justification with taking the computers. There was enough information on the harddrives of the computer Aaron Greene purchased as the data was never erased prior to the sale. What was found on the computer was illegal pornographic images and videos stored on the harddrive.The purchaser agreed to let the City of Monetery, CA police department obtain the computer and secondary storage devices. Since the computer purchased by Greene was from a seller on Craigslist, there is enough of a cause to research the seller. Forensic experts found the images on the computer was from a local company. Resonable search procedures established found further incriminating evidence among such items as business records. The owner of the business contacted,…
For the Roosevelt Dawson case, Dawson a young man who suffered from a viral infection that affected his spine, caused inability to move his limbs and breathing. What we need to keep in mind is that he is not suffering from any severe, untreatable pain or a terminal illness or disease. Also that he is about twenty-one years old. Based on past cases in this hospital, the hospital board has granted patient's (or whoever was put as the guardian) assistance for breathing and or nourishment. Looking at the patient's competency does not apply to this case, at least in my opinion.…
In the United States during the late 1950s, two events occurred in which stirred conflict in the union. The North and the South had differing views on the idea of slavery. The North wanted slavery to end while the South did not. The Dred Scott Decision and John Brown’s Raid were two significant occasions where there were disputes between the North and the South. The Dred Scott case concluded in 1857 and the raid on Harpers Ferry occurred in 1859. These two incidents insinuated that a Civil War was going to happen in the next couple of years.…

In this paper I will be discussing the Scott Peterson case in three key areas background/summary, evidence, and finally crime elements.…
