Yours Truly, Ally

One of the strongest beliefs of the Democratic Party, or at least in my opinion, is the ideal of equality on all front. Simply put, Democrats believe in equal opportunity regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. However, in relatively recent news, Democrats seem to act in contradiction to their supposed "beliefs," especially with the #MeToo movement. Rather than promoting "equality for all," modern-day feminism seems more like a threat to masculinity (especially if you're a white male). Democrats treated unsubstantiated allegations about Judge Brett Kavanaugh (now an Associate Justice for the Supreme Court) as the "ultimate" truth, which was in my opinion, was the Democrats tactic to prevent Kavanaugh from serving on the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh angrily denied (as he should) all allegations of sexual misconduct that Christine Blasey Ford made towards the Supreme Court nominee. First of all, it seems rather convenient that Ford ch...

When you think of the Supreme Court, how do you picture it? Perhaps for some, it might comical to picture it as a so-called cult: people dressing in black robes for some discreet, ominous meeting. Yah, seems "cult-like" to me. And if you actually thought that, you're most definitely wrong (and might need to revisit your middle school history class). The Supreme Court of the United States (or SCOTUS) is without a doubt the most unique —not to mention most powerful —court system.  But, how familiar are you with its role in our nation? "The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." These words, as found in Article III of the U.S. Constitution, established the Supreme Court, as well as granted Congress the power to create inferior federal courts. This power was established in the SCOTUS during the Supreme Court case: Marbury v. Madison in ...

The U.S. Constitution is one of the most important, if not the MOST important document in United States history. The Constitution protects our individual freedoms and its fundamental principles that govern our nation. Most importantly, the Constitution limits the power of the government and establishes a system of checks and balances. So, what are some ways the Constitution impact YOU as a citizen? 1. As citizens, you are granted the right to vote (as long as you're 18 and over) Personally, I feel as if many individuals, especially those who are my age, show a lack of care for taking part in politics. Especially during the past election season, many students did not vote simply because they "did not care" to or "have the time" to vote; however, those who I spoke to were first to complain about why they did not like a particular candidate. Simply put, if you did not vote, do not complain. Countries ruled under a dictatorship, or some other extremist authoritar...
