Congress And The Change In Term Limits
Words: 1698 - Pages: 7.... p.272) Over time, career legislators are more likely
to promote the interest of the establishment of which they are part than that of
the larger public. This fact is not surprising. If most of a persons time is
spent meeting with lobbyists, constituents, and bureaucrats, that person may
actually come to believe what these influential people are saying. This is why
new blood needs to enter Congress more frequently, in order to avoid the highly
influenced Congress that is filled with old people with old ideals. Needless to
say the once optimistic freshmen were unsuccessful in their task, and it=s plain
to see why. Until that changes, Cong .....

Presently, Israel has control over the city. Israel insists on retaining sovereignty over the “eternal” city and hopes a deal will win world recognition of that right. Palestinians, on the other hand, wish to reclaim east Jerusalem for the capital of a new Palestinian state and want to share sovereignty. This issue should be resolved by making Jerusalem ‘no man’s land’. Jerusalem should be governed by an independent, neutral third party. Palestinians and Israelis would share it, as .....

Roe V. Wade
Words: 831 - Pages: 4.... Bork, many feel that the Court had no right to
interpret the binding piece of our country, the Constitution. Since the
word "abortion" is not used in the Constitution, right-wing lawyer Bork
states " Unfortunately, in the entire opinion there is not one line of
explanation, not one sentence that qualifies as a legal argument ". (pg,
103, Bork) He continues to say " It is unlikely that it ever will,
because the right to abort, whatever one thinks of it, is not found in the
Constitution ". (Pg, 103, Bork)
Dworkin, distinguished author of the book titled Life's Dominion,
