Summary Of Justice Antonin Scalia

1052 Words5 Pages

When I was looking for an argument to analysis, I realized that they were all about politics. I looked at the multiple source examples that you had given us: New York Times, The Guardian, and Al Jazeera. I also added CNN into the mix of things, but I was really shocked that all of these big newspapers had the same topic. Because to me I would think that if they were competing against each other that they would have different topics they wrote about. They were all talking about the Presidential Elections. I do recognize that I should not of been surprised that they were all the same because at this time of the year mostly what anybody talks and writes about it is the Presidential Elections. I decided to wait a couple of days to see if …show more content…

Now, to any reader they may or may not agree with what the writer thought about what Justice Antonin Scalia has done in the supreme court that was right. At the beginning I am able to find the writer's stance in the issue of whether to leave Justice Antonin Scalia's seat open or not. As he goes to approach Justice Antonin Scalia’s legacy, the writer is not really clear of their stance. Which is really confusing and I think does not make for a good essay if the reader is confusing. To me it seems like the writer is a Democrat, by their tone of voice and word choice that is used in this piece of the article that discusses where Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat should be filled, “Given how blindly ideological the Republicans in the Senate are, after nearly eight years of doing little besides trying to thwart Mr. Obama…” …show more content…

The writer was able to acknowledge Justice Antonin Scalia's who has done a lot for this world, but some of the things that the writer did acknowledge might bring bad emotion out of the reader towards Justice Antonin Scalia’s, “He disapproved of the Miranda decision that requires police to read prisoners their rights.” (nytimes.com) As a reader, pathos is a huge thing to me because I think when a writer puts their own emotion into their paper it is easier to get emotion out of the reader and to connect to what they are writing and convince the audience of the argument they are trying to make. I am an optimist and usually when I read something I believe it, but the fact that this was written by the Editorial Board of the New York Times, really applies to the use of ethos and the credibility of the article. They were also able to take life events that have happened in our lives and use it to show that it was something Justice Antonin Scalia’s helped pass and approved of, which has changed lives for the better. That is a fact and even if some hate Justice Antonin Scalia, they do know that from his help some of the laws and freedom we have today we would not. So I do have to say they did a pretty good job of the incorporation of logos into the

John Marshall’s Supreme Court hearings had a positive effect on the United States. From court cases like McCulloch v. Maryland, declared that the federal courts could decide if state laws were unconstitutional. The McCulloch v. Maryland trial went to the supreme court because Maryland had put a tax in place that too 2% of all assets of the bank or a flat rate of $30,000. John Marshall saw this tax as unconstitutional for the simple fact that people were being denied their property under the state legislature. From the Gibbons v. Ogden case, congress’s power over interstate commerce was strengthened.

John Marshall had a significant impact on strengthening the national government during his term as Chief Justice from 1800-1830. Marshall achieved this goal by strengthening the power of the Supreme Court in three main court cases. In Marbury v. Madison Marshall established the practice of judicial review, then in McCulloch v. Maryland he weakened the central government and Gibbons v. Ogden provided the federal government with the ability to regulate interstate commerce. Marbury v. Madison (1803) was a court case that began the practice of judicial review. This case started because the night before President John Adams term ended, he appointed 42 justices of the peace.

The author also developed pathos in her article by commenting that, “Jurors couldn 't held back tears as the judge announced the non-guilty verdict.” (Banks) It must have been something very unfair, to the extent of seeing people that carry the responsibility of justice agreeing that it was unfair! The audience may be able to analyze how Banks did an excellent job when it comes to pathos, as she included visualizations that might help the reader feel the same way towards the issue as Bank

Pathos is an appeal to emotion, and it makes the audience feel something such as anger. For example, in the article, the author Cowen states, “They are unfair because you, collectively, as viewers, want them to be unfair”(Tyler Cowen).It is pathos because the author is blaming you that the media is unfair. In other words, the author is making the reader feel guilty that the media bias is unfair because you make it unfair. It would also make the reader feel confusing and mad because they wouldn’t know how we make it unfair. In addition, another example shown in the article that mentions pathos is, “It is perhaps sad that we do not look much to the news for objective information, but this same fact limits the damage that slanted coverage”(Tyler Cowen).

Although Sullivan agrees with many of Bush’s decisions he says he cannot get over the brutal and inhumane actions taken place due to wartime prisoners. The audience is aware he wants something done due to his ending quote of “You would like us to move on. So would the current president. But we cannot unless we find a way to address that stain, to confront and remove it”(Sullivan 3). Sullivan uses pathos throughout the article in response to Bush because he uses a tone of a friend almost being disappointed in his actions.

These emotions are only one sided, so you may feel something and another person may feel another. I don’t think this was a good way to use pathos in the article. I did not really feel any emotions in it, so that is why I think that they depend on what one person feels against another. Since there is no real pathos in the article, one may hope to find to ethos in it. I do not think that Brooks used much ethos at all.

Justice Hugo Black was a United States senator for 10 years and served one of the longest terms in Supreme Court history with thirty four years and one month in the court. As a senator, he was a strong supporter of President’s Roosevelt’s New Deal reformation, therefore leading to his nomination to the Supreme Court in 1937. Justice Black’s rise to the Supreme Court was met with outrage and controversy from the public and the media due to his previous affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan and consequently tainted his reputation nearly costing him his seat in the Supreme Court. However, he was also an advocate for rights of racial equality and a defender of the constitutional rights of the accused. His literal interpretation of the Constitution

Originalism is a judicial theory that reads the Constitution based on its original meaning at the time of its enactment. Justice Clarence Thomas is an outspoken advocate of originalism, which has left a legacy in the history of American literature. Many have questioned and scrutinized his opinions on originalism, stare decisis, and precedent, especially considering modern culture. In addition to its legal significance, Justice Thomas's jurisprudential approach has significant socio-political effects, making him the longest-serving African American justice in Supreme Court history.

You can clearly see how the author uses pathos in this line “the pain and suffering of both the victim and his or her family”. This considered pathos because it has to do with feelings of a person. Furthermore with quote used the reader is saying while capital punishment should not be kept because it causes sadness to the families criminal. Further along in the article we see how he gives an example of crime. In the crime example the author uses this quote “If we have not gone through something like this personally, what the families and loved ones of the victims suffered” the quote for the example ask the reader to put your feet in the shoes of the families which their loved ones were toured before being killed by the person.

While Justice Thomas is famous for his silence during oral argument, this does not mean that his lack of input in cases makes the other justices wary of where he may stand in issues because of his known conservative reputation. What drives his conservative stance on the Supreme Court is his “originalist” philosophy which calls for interpreting the Constitution as the Founding Fathers primary intents were. As Ralph Rossum states “During his years on the Court, Thomas has pursued an original general meaning approach to constitutional interpretation; he has been unswayed by claims of precedent, by the gradual buildup of interpretations that, to his mind, come to distort the original meaning of the constitutional provision in question, leading to muddled decisions and contradictory conclusions” meaning that Thomas determines cases based on strict interpretation of the Constitution and does not think that neither precedent or stare decisis have any weight on recent cases. The only document that has a true significant precedent is the Constitution itself. His judicial philosophy surely makes him an enigma to

Justice Thurgood Marshall Response Justice Thurgood Marshall said in his “Reflections on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution”, “I do not believe the meaning of the Constitution was forever ‘fixed’ at the Philadelphia Convention. Nor do I find the wisdom, foresight, and sense of justice exhibited by the framers particularly profound. To the contrary, the government they devised was defective from the start, requiring several amendments, a civil war, and momentous social transformation to attain the system of constitutional government and its respect for the individual freedoms and human rights, that we hold as fundamental as today” (Marshall). In this passage of his essay, Judge Marshall is critical of the government that is

For my quantitative analysis I have chosen two major newspapers: The New York Times and The Washington Post. These two titles are considered as so called prestigious or elite newspapers. This type mass media is often held to higher standards of journalism because they can utilize more resources. Noam Chomsky also uses term agenda-setting media.
