My next article is about the Cabinet, which is the Trump administration. Not only do we have a Vice President, Secretary,etc. There are many other members in the cabinet such as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Scott Pruitt. These members advise the president to make certain decisions, that is why they have different members for different topics.

The Supreme Court has been implying new rules to civil rights advocates over how state election practices are discriminatory. In a 5-4 vote Texas's congressional and legislative districts were upheld after lower courts discriminated against latinos. An Ohio law made it possible for voter purges. Most of these voting rights challenges typically come from Democratic-leaning groups rather than the Republican dominating legislature.
The article is about an ongoing battle between Republicans and Democrats. They never see eye to eye and their fights have been brutal for the American legislature.
Some believe that the Republican ran legislature, many of the Democratic voices are not being heard through our government. People want change, they do not want to continue these conservative ideas. I found it interesting that discrimination is still being a part of the United States government, it is as if we went back in time to the Jim Crow laws. It is as if all of the progressive efforts that have been made are being reversed.  https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/25/politics/supreme-court-voting-rights-gerrymandering/index.html

The center of my article is over the case of convicted murderer Brendan Dassey. Dassay who assisted in a murder back in 2005, that was a confession in which it was coerced, will not be getting his case reconsidered by the Supreme Court. He was featured on the Netflix show "Making a Murderer" which caused doubt in his case. His lawyer felt that he was manipulated into the confession of the teenager. He is still fighting for his freedom. An appellate panel upheld the decision to release Dassey.
This article was very short, and really didn't give me enough information, but what it did is to give me a insight in which how publicity can change someone's life. I found it interesting that the case has been going on since 2005, which is very complicated because he just assisted in it and did not do the crime himself. He was manipulated to the confession.

In my article a florist denied to make a flower arrangement for a same sex wedding. This is just like another case with the baker their main argument was that their religious values are what is stopping them from doing these things.Emphasized that the court's holding was specific to the case at hand, David Cole, wrote in the Washington Post. That the justices did not rule on arguments put forward by the baker arguing that Colorado had violated the baker's rights by compelling him to make one of his custom cakes in violation of his free speech rights. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the florist and baker.
This article was very interesting because it is dealing with the new society we live in, in which people are still not accepting of others. It is very odd to even see the Supreme Court ever side with the opposite beliefs, but people should continue to march on until they are given their liberty from oppression. I believe that even though a person's religion takes affect in to what they are able to do, many people that are very religious might not think the same as others, they could be in support of the LGBT community. Others believe not to do so, so it is a matter of what they believe in and who they are as a person.

This article is about how the Trump administration has drafted a piece of legislation that would allow the US to leave the World Trade organization rules and give more power to the US. The proposed “United States Fair and Reciprocal Trade Act”, would give the president the power to renegotiate with countries and raise or lower tariffs. This deal is not yet signed but it is a big talk among legislators.
This article is very different among others because it is touching very controversial topics. If this legislation goes through many foreign relations could be ruined, and it could lead to very bad consequences. Such as a war against the US, new relations could form and damage US economy. Although possibly some good can come out of it, such as limiting an excess of a certain product could be put in place. Overall this legislation could help US economy but could hurt all foreign affairs.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/leaked-trump-draft-bill-wto-trade-rules_us_5b39fe81e4b007aa2f819c88

This article is mainly about the author criticizing President Trump and how he believes he is above the according to the author. Some of Trump's lawyers stated that "by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer, could neither constitutionally nor legally constitute obstruction because that would amount to him obstructing himself.” Other of his attorney have said that if Trump was ever convicted and found guilty it will completely through off the constitutional order. The author is at a real unlikeliness against Trump. The author feels like Trump has done nothing but use his presidency to his advatage.
Personally, this article is just plain bias, it doesn't state fact. The author is trying ot really butcher the Trump administration without giving credit to the actual good things that the administration has done. It seems like a blog more than an educated article. It uses every aspect of what is bias writing, and it might bring up good points it is still one sided. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/opinion/donald-trump-pardon.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FExecutive%20Power&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=3&pgtype=collection

The House has narrowly   approved of a bill that is able to cut $15 billion, furthermore it has symbolized fiscal discipline in Washington. The legislation was embraced by Republicans claiming the $1.3 trillion catchall spending bill was too bloated. The measure includes $4 billion in cuts to a defunct loan program designed to boost fuel-efficient, advanced-technology vehicles, and cuts to conservation programs at the Department of Agriculture. Democrats believe that this cut will make it seem harder for them to be able to fund any other projects for later times.
This is actually a step forward in having the House have control and could stop Trump from hurting our economy. This is not only good but it could also be helpful towards bettering the economy. This article was for the people that are highly concerned on how the House is running things, and for our economy. I found it interesting that more Republicans would be in favor in the cutting the national spending.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/06/07/house-approves-bill-to-cancel-15b-in-spending-at-trumps-request.html

In San Francisco Joseph Williams works to get low level drug offenders to rehabilitative services.  He has barely enough to support his family, and 1/3 of his $1,200 goes to continuing courts and probation fees from years ago. San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance that would eliminate local court fees fro those that were incarcerated. These fines are making it difficult for those that used to be incarcerated to be financially stable, since all those fees they once had to pay for are amounting them. The burden of these costs inevitably falls primarily on low-income and minority communities.
This new legislation is a step toward the reform of the prison system, people that were once in jail will not have to worry about this high fees that were once given to the inmates. These ex-inmates now can financially support their families, and having a job could help them from never committing a crime, because they will have enough. I found it interesting that they use a man that has bee struggling to give us a perspective of those that are affected by the prison system. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2018-05-23/san-francisco-looks-to-end-certain-court-fees

A new proposal in New York has been issued as now people that do not identify as male and female, now have the option to of a third category known as "X". This proposal was brought by Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson. Johnson would hold a hearing in front of legislation on Thursday and a public hearing later on. This is to the advantage of parents that do not want to have their kids identified in a gender, so having the "X" could help them. If the bill is passed New York will join California, Oregon, and Washington as to having a third option.
This article is a step towards people having new identities, this could also be influenced by the LGBT movement as many of their members have the same beliefs that they don't have to be male or female to live their life. The most interesting part of this proposal is that it has become a social norm for people to not identify with any gender, that even by classifying them as to what seems to be their gender is rather offending and triggers them.  The proposal although, it may seem fitting to people that actually do not identify as anything, giving them the freedom that they deserve. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/new-york/articles/2018-06-03/proposal-would-add-x-category-to-nyc-birth-certificates

My article today is that after a Supreme Court ruling is that the in the case of being arrested and the police need to check your phone they cannot do so unless they have a warrant. United States V. Carpenter, is the latest case that is in support of the Fourth Amendment in this new era of technology. The case was brought after many robberies, in which Timothy Carpenter ordered his cell phone provider to cancel all of his data that involve movements. A third-party could be involved in the case that could help the case as the Supreme court might have the decision to rule it illegal for police to search someone's phone without a warrant.
This article was really interesting, we are now living in a world in which everything is done by technology. This means that people need to adapt to these changes, this means that for laws have to adapt to the technology era. This ruling is a form of the new era, yet it could have consequences, because a phone could provide so much information to a case. I found interesting that the Supreme Court would be in favor of the police having a warrant in order to check someone's phone.

President Donald Trump has shown his inclined support towards the legalization of marijuana. 30 states have now legalized marijuana in some sort of way, that creates two different ways of enforcing by that means federal and state. This was completely against what Attorney General Jeff Sessions was against which is the legalization of marijuana. Many state senators such as in Colorado, Oregon, and Massachusetts are towards the legalization of marijuana as it could stem a national debate for the president since he has approached the legalization issue by both against it and supporting it.
This new political stand is something the younger age group and people supporting the legalization of marijuana would look into since it is for a cause they are supporting. I found it interesting that out all the people president Trump is deeply looking at and contemplating support towards the legalization of marijuana which a strange topic as to he is always against something the public wants. I know a lot of people such as close friends that are deeply involved in the legalization of marijuana here in Texas could actually be a small step into getting the proper laws for the use of marijuana, but the legalization is not in the hands of the federal government, it is in the hands of the state legislature and they have the final say in whether or not they want marijuana to be legalized.

The Republican senators are in a blunder as they do not know what to do between the upcoming November elections.They decide to run a poll, of each individual senator. The senators begin their new agenda by trying to repeal once again ObamaCare , another tax cuts, expanding gun rights, defunding Planned Parenthood. Although they try to repeal many Democratic agendas or policies from the ObamaCare, the GOP vote against the repeal is very low and could damage that agenda the Republican senators are now trying to push forward.
Although I am not a Republican, these new agendas is something that could affect the way I life, that could be with a higher tax raise, since I work I could be owing the government more money. People against these ideas such as expanding gun laws, and unfunding planned parenthood, and if the agenda of the Republican senators are passed through their cause could be something that never happened. As for the way the whole area is put to use, the way that the senators are using a survey to express their agenda is what interested me, as it felt very odd to say the least, yet it could be effective. I found confusing on how Trump's meetong with South Korea could impact the way the agenda could have an impact on the rest of the US. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/03/gop-senators-conference-survey-election-618648
