Sonia Sotomayor Event Report
Having a U.S Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor attending Campus is not only interesting but very educational. I’d love to attend this event if I am available that day. I believe the event timeline would be strictly structured as someone with a prestige job like Sonia Sotomayor is our guest. As for the requirements, there will probably be some type of security check while arriving at the event and also a precise time table.

    Why Was Sotomayor Important In College

    Throughout the childhood of Sonia Sotomayor, family and friends played a major role in importance. However, Sonia’s family didn’t exactly strive very far in education. Also, other students within her high school class held low expectations for her. Sonia took advice from her friend, Kenny, and persevered by going above and beyond and applying to Princeton University. Luckily enough, she was accepted! If Sonia were to not attend Princeton University, she most likely would have never came close to accepting the position she has today, the first Hispanic woman appointed to the supreme court.…

    Gender Discrimination In Ruth Bader Ginsburg Case

    In 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Columbia Law School, Cornell University, and Harvard Law School graduate, became the second woman to ever be given a position in the Supreme Court. Born into a low income family in Brooklyn, New York on March 15, 1933, Ginsburg was frequently exposed to gender discrimination throughout her college years—as there were “only 8 other females in a class of 500 students” at Harvard Law—as well as in the work force. This ultimately pushed her to fight for gender equality. She began her career as a clerk and then teacher, becoming Columbia University’s first tenured teacher who was a woman. Following this, she took on several projects in which she fought for the rights of woman in front of the Supreme Court of the United…

    Sotomayor's Argumentative Analysis

    Magtadt defines liberals has typically holding civil rights close to heart. They are often the primary defenders of individuals or groups that they see as victims of past discrimination, such as racial minorities, women and the poor (p. 37, 2015). Although identifying as independent she has quite often voted along with the liberal side of the Supreme Court. However, it can be said that unlike other liberals Sotomayor takes a more case-by-case approach. Sotomayor has shown a willingness to side with conservative in cases pertaining to criminal law, no doubt an influence of her time as prosecutor. For example, in Wetzel v. Lambert back in February 2010, she sided with the conservative bloc’s majority opinion to reinstituting a convict’s death…

    Lawrence Garcia Supreme Court Justice Analysis

    Gustavo Garcia said, “I am glad I was able to tell the Supreme Court justices that they were a little confused in thinking that we are all wetbacks”. I remember the first time I heard the term, wetback. I was young, twelve years old in the sixth grade. I had gone to this elementary since kindergarten, and had the same classmates too. We were all friends, but as we got older we began to break into cliques. It did not seem like a big deal, we still talked to each other every now in then. One day while on recess I heard there was a fight. Soon I found out my brother and his friends were involved. The fight began over something innocent, but quickly became ugly when the other group of boys called my brother and his friends, dirty wetbacks. All…

    Sotomayor

    A time when Sonia Sotomayor was determined to give back to her community was when she had to give her speech during her speech competition. She started by talking about the killing of Kiddie Jenaveys and how it took place. After she got off work from her job at a bar late at night around three in the morning, getting home to her apartments in the queens, she parked her car in a nearby parking lot walking through an alley towards her apartment when a stranger appeared in her shadow and frightened her so she ran and he caught up to her and stabbed her in the back as she screamed and cried for help. Several neighbors heard her cries and her struggle as Winston Mosley stabbed her. The windows were shut due to the cold weather, but kiddie kept screaming for help as he stabbed her repeatedly and beat her to shut up and finely raped her. When it was all over the neighbors called the police and they arrived minutes after but Mosley got away that night later caught for a burglary charge and now is faced with life in prison.…

    Sotomayor's Analysis

    In My Beloved World, Justice Sonia Sotomayor chronicles her rise from an impoverished childhood in the Bronx to a successful legal career. Sotomayor offers a simple rationale for her ability to make this improbable rise: the help of mentors. Throughout her life, Sotomayor relies on the advice and help of others, allowing her to first see beyond her poor neighborhood then reach the summit of the legal profession. Sotomayor both seeks mentorship from obvious sources like her mother, her grandmother, and later professors, and qualities in friends and colleagues. Sotomayor makes it clear: her ability to make mentors of friends and superiors allowed her to reach the office she holds today.…

    Supreme Court Major Cases

    The court’s Ruling was actually somewhat mixed. The court ruled that Marbury did have right to the commissions because the order would go into effect when Adams signed the papers. This was so because he was still in power when he signed them. The also ruled that Congress did not have the power to expand the original jurisdiction of Supreme Court beyond that which is specified in Article III of the Constitution. Their reasoning behind this was that the Constitution states “the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction in all cases affecting ambassadors,…

    Lasser on Supreme Court

    The Rehnquist court’s decisions in the past couple of years haven’t been as significant as the people may think they are in increasing the autonomy of the states. The court case of medical marijuana under Chief Justice Rehnquist did not end what they called the “federalist revolution”, because there was none. This court case was a case that obviously had significance throughout the country as it has been a highly spoke about topic. I believe that the ruling in favor of the states was expected in this case which is why not much power was shifted from the central government to the states. I believe more that the central government lost some power compared to the states gaining power. They lost the power to regulate commerce to a degree. I believe now that since they can not regulate the buying and selling of medical marijuana it opens up more controversial topics to also not be regulated. The Commerce Clause “authorizes the federal government to prohibit the use of medical marijuana”, but it wouldn’t make sense to regulate it because then any item could be regulated.…
