The importance of this dispute was to acknowledge the cause and effects that are coming about when it relates to lgbtq community. It is the duty of civilians and associations to recognize the moral standpoint of each campaigner and whether or not they will do what they can to push our nation , as a whole into the right direction. No, campaigners can not enforce those to agree with lgbtq and their life style, but they can try and enforce justice / balance for those that are apart of the community. It is important for everyone to feel as though theyre being represtned, adding the lgbtq commnity to the  fair housing act would be a step towards that. Every individual is entitled to a healthy happy life, campaigners should take into consideration those that are being ignored and harmed, and how they could stop this from continuing.

- Personally i believe this shows how irrational trump is as a president. The article compared trump's actions to obama's , stating that obama would hand over his phone for inspection every 30 days to be examined by telecommunications staffers for suspicious activity. I believe this shows the difference in importance and compliance each president had for their position. The goal of this article was to put attention on trump's misguided priorities. Trump has a very active social media persona when it comes to twitter, which is gravely obvious, but it also should be taken into consideration that he is the president and is in no way showcasing as one. He is merely warming up a seat in the white house while his fingers take part in exercising a few times a day. Instead of having officials importantalize matters that deserve attention, such as actual matters that danger civilians lives, they have to focus on creating a story on how trump is being irritable, making his presidency inconvenient.

 - This bill plays a large role for those that are deserving of a second chance, and should be given help and attention needed to make this process a smooth one. Although, i agree with the democrats position on this bill because in general a bigger picture should be taken into consideration. By this i mean the changes that should be proposed to the general prison system. For instance this would be, minimum and maximum sentences when it comes to general cases that would involve certain things such as those dealing with drug issue , rape cases, the environment, peoples proper application of their amendments. I believe trump's proposal is in fact too narrow and in my opinion trump as president works too slow for this to represent a small step towards improvement and that would eventually lead to more changes. Having trump in office , there has not been many chances for actual beneficial change for the citizens to even be viewed. So , having this ability , this chance to view the controversial debate that comes within prison reform , this should be an advantage the president takes and uses for actual benefits. I do not believe in either party to settle for such a small step when there has been no signs yet, of trump's presidency being a fast and effective one when it comes down to taking individuals into perspective .

 -I do not believe the support of DREAMERS should be categorized as a “special treatment”. The Dreamers Act is an organization that gives equality for those that are being treated less than for coming to the united states. Those apart of the Dreamers community, are qualified to be considered actual citizens, they are people that are working just as hard as any other american and usually even harder than some. So they can label this controversy as a special treatment, but in my opinion it is actual created a equal system. The controversy that comes within the build up of the border is one that shouldn't be talked heavily and as if it is finalized, because of how unprofessional that tactic is. Nothing is finalized and everything that has been discussed thus far is no more than a proposal and telling the public this is more important than those in office feeling powerful in their proposals.

- In my opinion the article didn't do Deb Haaland enough justice when it came to her political views overall. Of course ,the unfair immigration topic that is popular right now is a major concern of hers but having her elected into congress would be a larger accomplishment than just within immigration policies. Her background suggest there would be growth in giving a voice to the unprivileged, struggle when it comes to health care, families that are struggling, stricter gun laws, and women. Having Deb Haaland in office would be a large step forward as we know it, we couldn't have a female president (not saying hillary clinton was who i was in support of because i was for bernie ) but we could have a native american woman in congress that understands the true struggles that deserve attention , rather than a white man that chooses to deny giving attention to important topics that need his commentary. 

Romero, Simon . "

 Because of this case being brought to the public, it creates an uneasy atmosphere for those that support trump's campaign. It make it questionable upon whether our money / system is being out to use in the right manner. It is a debate on whether or no Trump is responsible enough to follow certain rules, systems , or if he will continue taking matters into his own hands. Illegal conduct made by the president makes communities question their future, especially when it narrows down to economic / financial topics.

Trump's choice to believe in such strong respect, speaks loudly upon the type of mindset our president currently has. This showcases how much trump lacks in a moral mindset. Ideally, some or most of his supporters may already have this image of him , one similar to the one he has for himself although it is not smart to speak for everyone. Having trump indulge in  dictatorship will take away from the democracy we have been involved in for decades. Personally , that much respect is not one that he deserves considering how he lacks greatly in creating any progress for many issues he has chosen to ignore. Trump having this mindset is a scary thing to acknowledge, considering the amount of change he could construct and the amount of people he could care less for in the process.

 - In the beginning the article was confusing due to the lack of reasoning given to describe why the United States left the council to begin with. Because of this, I had to look for clarification through another article that then allowed for information given from both articles to make sense and give me  greater understanding of each side. The first article “ Human Rights Council Back to Work With US Seats Empty “ was more so from the viewpoint of those still involved in the council. While the second article “ US leaving UN Human Rights Council, cites anti-Israel bias “ covered both sides but most the United States. I believe that both articles open up a debate to the community, one that allows us to question the certain decision the united states makes and whether or not they should have our support and why. Human rights is a topic that i always bring my opinion in because it seems that's when your moral attitude is able to show. Given these circumstances , there is now more room to be able to dictate whether these decisions are right or wrong , and sometimes even in between being able to fit into a “gray area” where possibly compromise is able to come about.

-Within this ruling it is noticeable that the supreme court continously denies the LGBTQ community basic human rights. The debate of whether one's religion dictates one's ability to execute certain decisions is on that creates problems like these. Although freedom of religion is important and deserves recognition /admiration and showcasing from those that believe in it , a business owner also has the importance of running their business. Businesses should have the right to deny service if it puts themselves or other customers in harm's way. By this i mean denying service to those that would be causing disruption in the store, harming the experience for others , being rude or impulsive toward other customers. I do not believe in denying service to those that identify as LGBTQ+  because of one's religion , if there is no harm or disruption being caused then why should the owner be allowed to create one . The article was very straightforward but lacked in giving more background info in the case. Based on the case there was outside viewpoints , opinions and effects that resulted from the case.

-The article itself was very well constructed, it provided enough information and statements to get a clear point of view of each side within the court case. This decision was purely made so that individuals would not say their rights are being taken away by being forced to give such information. Although, I completely disbelieve with the decision because one is very capable to still honor their beliefs while also providing simple information. Those that work in clinics should prioritize their job ,business and most importantly patients. Not informing a patient about multiple options they have towards pregnancy is unsafe because they are not going into a situation with all eyes open so to speak. I believe it is important for young women to be informed about every clinic availed in their communities, while also learning about safety procedures, precautions and options. A clinic withholding information , personally , sounds similar to forcing one option upon a young lady. It is every woman's right to choose and learn about her body and that is the right that the government should be protecting.

 U.S. Supreme Court on Monday handed a narrow victory to a Christian baker from Colorado who refused for religious reasons to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.

Michigan sued ; illegally allowing faith-based organizations to reject same-sex couples who want to adopt children or become foster parents, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said Wednesday in a lawsuit challenging the practice.

-The article itself was confusing by not including more information on what made the court's decision to find Brendan Dassey guilty, apart from the confession being a factor. I believe there was more evidence involved that could have made the court hold Dassey accountable in 2005. Although, I do not agree with the supreme court withholding Brendan Dassey to another trial, because of the fact that there is reliable explanations that could be used to rule out the confession tape. I believe a criminal should be allowed to have their case reopened in front of a fair trial if their lawyers have provided enough reason for their choices , such as new evidence discovered - which this was once learning about the investigators actions/words and below average iq. I also am not in agreement with the supreme court hiding their reasoning for choosing to deny the hearing of the case once again, perhaps it was because they don't believe their new information to be strong enough. But because within 2005 that an appellate panel decided to release Dassey before the full appeals court overturned it , should be another reason on why the case should be reopened.

-Because of the supreme court's decision to hide away from these cases, that speaks volumes of how the supreme court views the LGBT community. It also shows that they are in fear of making a decision because it seems that there is no decision that will absolutely everyone happy. I understand how religion is a factor, but I still believe that business owners should understand there should be a seperation between a business and personal views. The LGBT community has faced discrimination and being ignored from the higher power for far too long. I believe it is time that this community receives actual representation, because just as overly religious people deserve their rights protected, so do the LGBT community. Discrimination has gone on far too long, and if the supreme court keeps hiding from cases such as these it will just create even more tension between many because lgbt is not being represented and others that commit hate crimes will perceive this as their chance to continue acting in hate and violence. The lgbt community is being attacked by this continuing ignored punishment.
