blog your brains out
Sometimes, I should say many times I find myself trying to figure out what to say on this blog. It's a political blog so that sort of narrows it down, but at least I get topics to blog about. Though I know we have talked about the topics or I have read about them, but what to say. One thing is for sure only one more day then spring break starts. Woohoo! I am completely an totally ready for it. It will be a nice little break from all of the stress of being a High school senior. A little break from it all English papers to Morse code class uh I mean math class. Laugh out loud. It'll be nice. Now time to get back on track and talk about politics.
The District courts versus the circuit courts. Interesting if I do say so myself. The district court has ninety four courts while the circuit court has 13 courts. They both have different types of cases. The district courts has general trials and questions on general laws. The circuit court on the other hand have appeals on trials already completed. There is one judge that is used per each case in the district court. While, the circuit court uses a three judge appellate panel. District courts deal with many different cases from divorce cases to felonies. The circuit court deals with cases that are being appealed. Circuit courts are very influential because they set the legal precedent. In all cases they usually start out at district court and move up to the circuit court level after a while.
Last but certainly not least, Judicial Restraint versus Judicial activism. These are two forms of legal and constitutional representation used to make a decision. Judicial activism is usually when personal or political ideologies are used to make a decision. Usually accusations that go with this is that the court overstepped the boundaries. While judicial restraint is when the court should uphold all acts of congress and state legislatures unless they are violating a constitution. Judicial restraint helps to preserve a balance between the branches of government. Those are some of the differences between them.
I hope everyone enjoyed this post. Have a great easter and a great spring break.
