Reasoning: The section of the Judiciary Act of 1792 (passed by Congress) relied on by Marbury which granted the Supreme Court the right to issue writs of mandamus to government officials was unconstitutional and therefore is void and of no effect. The Constitution only gives the Supreme Court original jurisdiction in cases “affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls and those in which a state shall be a party. In all other cases, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction.” It is the duty of the Court to

Christopher Yanez Dr. Frank Mineo AJS/562 Federal Tort Claims Paper 03/16/2015 Federal Torts Claim Act of 1946 The monarch cannot be sued or have any wrongdoing. This is an old English principle that the doctrine of Sovereign immunity is derived from.

The FCTA applies to local justice and security agencies under unique situations of negligence committed by local justice and security agencies.
34 of the U.S. Army. His care reached the Supreme Court in 1944 after he appealed his conviction. Procedural History: Justice Frank Murphy argued that the exclusion at issue here goes over the edge of constitutional power and falls into the subject of racism. Issue: Was it within the power of Congress and the Executive to exclude persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast at the time that they were excluded? Rule: Legal restrictions that restrict the civil rights of a single racial group are subject to the most severe examination.
Appellants argued that undocumented aliens, because of their immigration status, are not “persons within the jurisdiction” of the State of Texas, and that they therefore have no right to the equal protection of Texas law. The Supreme Court rejected this argument saying “Whatever his status under the immigration laws, an alien is surely a person in any ordinary sense of the term. Aliens, even aliens whose presence in this country is unlawful, have long been recognized as persons guaranteed due process of law by the 5th and 14th Amendments. Indeed, we have clearly held that the 5th Amendment protects aliens whose presence in this country is unlawful from invidious discrimination by the Federal Government.” Appellants also suggested that undocumented children are singled out because their unlawful presence within the United States renders them less likely than other children to remain within the boundaries of the State, and to put their education
The Defendants argued that a federal common-law cause of action to abate GHG emissions does not exist, that the claims raised political questions unfit for adjudication by the courts, that Congress has displaced any possible federal common-law cause of action seeking regulations of GHG emissions, and that Plaintiffs did not have standing to sue on account of global warming.15 Relying on Baker v. Carr, the district court dismissed the Plaintiffs’ suits as presenting non-justiciable political questions.16 In Baker, the United States Supreme Court described the test of whether a case is justiciable, in light of the separation of powers doctrine, as “whether the duty asserted can be judicially identified and its breach judicially determined, and whether protection for the right asserted can be judicially molded.”17 Courts recognized six factors as

Exclusionary Rule Evaluation In the 18th century the exclusionary rule under common law did not allow coerced confessions of defendants to be admitted in trial courts. It did not protect defendants from evidence that government officials seized during illegal searches from trials. Weeks v. United States (1914) held that the exclusionary rule was a part of the Fourth Amendment, and any illegally seized evidence cannot be used against the defendant. The decision made the exclusionary rule a constitutional requirement, but it did not bind states. Incorporating the rule to the state level was initiated in 1961 by way of the opinion of Mapp v. Ohio.
Just this alone was a just cause for the United States to get involved in the Vietnam War. Many feel that this wasn’t a good enough reason for the United States to get involved and was immoral unjust war, or that communism is not that bad. According to Aquinas four things for the just war rules which are: legit ruler, just cause, right intention, and self-defense legit. All four of these in my opinion were met in the Vietnam War. US has a legit ruler, president of the United States.
Alabama’s law states that no court shall enforce the terms, or regard as valid, any contract between an alien and a party if the party knew at the time that the alien was unlawfully present in the United States. Alabama law says that an illegal alien may not receive any benefits from state or local public benefits. Also under Alabama’s law, any illegal alien cannot enroll in
