DQ1 Immigration and “Sanctuary Cities”
regarding the topic of federalism, and the issue of
immigration, assess the recent Department of Justice lawsuit against the state
of California and its limitation on assisting immigration agents in their duty
of enforcement (e.g., arrest, detainment, and deportation). Do these
“sanctuary cities” in states trump (pardon the pun) the federal
government’s ability and power to enforce law. In this power play of federal vs
state, in your opinion, who is right?
DQ2 Abortion
Abatement?
Review the issue below. With which side do you agree?
In a recent, and relevant, example of a federalism issue,
the Supreme Court impeded a California law “requiring anti-abortion pregnancy
centers to inform women about publicly funded abortion and contraception
services.”
“The 5-4 ruling by Justice Clarence Thomas, with the court’s
conservatives in the majority, said the law ‘likely’ violates the First
Amendment as a form of compelled speech.
‘Licensed clinics must provide a government-drafted script
about the availability of state-sponsored services, as well as contact
information for how to obtain them,’ Thomas said. ‘One of those services is
abortion — the very practice that petitioners are devoted to opposing.’”
“In a concurring opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy said the
law is ‘a paradigmatic example of the serious threat presented when government
seeks to impose its own message in the place of individual speech, thought and
expression.’”
“Justice Stephen Breyer read a synopsis of the four liberal
justices’ dissent from the bench. ‘If a state can lawfully require a doctor to
tell a woman seeking an abortion about adoption services … why should it not
be able to require a medical counselor to tell a woman seeking prenatal care
about childbirth and abortion services?’ he said.”

Discussion
“With-Stand”
considering the recent uproar and divisive nature of
symbolic protest by professional athletes’ kneeling for the national anthem,
does the U.S. Constitution First Amendment’s freedom of speech provides
standing (or the “right”) for such a protest? Support your argument
with sound logic and specific examples.

Discussion
The “Permanent Campaign”
consider the description of the “permanent
campaign,” a concept widely publicized by journalist Sidney Blumenthal,
“as a combination of image making and strategic calculation that turns
governing into a perpetual campaign and ‘remakes government into an instrument
designed to sustain an elected official’s popularity.'” Given this
description of the “permanent campaign,” in your opinion, has
politics, particularly U.S. politics, coalesced the twenty-four news cycle into
a bastion of partisan mud-slinging, political beauty contest, and public opinionated
journalism?

Discussion
Interest Groups and Political Parties
The National Rifle Association (NRA), and its lobbying arm,
the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA), have filed a lawsuit challenging
the state of Florida recently enacted ban on the purchase of firearms by
individuals between the ages of 18-21. Citing Chris Cox, executive director of
the NRA-ILA, “swift action is needed to prevent young adults in Florida from
being treated as second-class citizens when it comes to the right to keep and
bear arms…we are confident that the courts will vindicate our view that
Florida’s ban is a blatant violation of the Second Amendment” (“NRA Files
Suit,” 2018).
Discuss the impact of the NRA, as an Interest Group, and its
lobbying arm (ILA) impact on Political Parties and policymaking. Additionally,
as we are addressing this week’s topics, Political Parties and Interest Groups,
observe the court decision’s effect on the last two topics – Federalism and
Civil Liberties.

Discussion
Not Invited To The Party
American politics has been dominated by the two-party
system. Not since Abraham Lincoln, and the then minority-party (Republican
Party), has a third party elected a President. Additionally, if you were to
research third-party success in presidential elections since the mid-turn of
the century, you would find minimal electoral success of a third-party
candidate based on an issue. As third-party platforms are often linked to a
“single-issue” perspective, what would it take for a third-party
candidate to break through with some significant success? Can it be done? If
not, is the two-party system indicative of democracy in this manner?

Discussion
Identification of Legislation
research the “Dream Act” legislation that supports
the program known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). In your
research identify both chambers of Congress (House and Senate) version of the
bill. Your research should include: 1. Chamber nomenclature (e.g., S. f/ Senate
and H.R. f/ House of Representatives with the bill number behind it) 2. Sponsor
(full name and party-state-district representation) 3. Committee(s) (from which
it originated) and 4. Latest Action (with date and action)

Discussion
Executive Orders
research and identify an executive order from the last two
presidential administrations. Cite the executive number (e.g., 123xx), the
title of the executive order, and did the President attempt to get Congress to
pass the order as law. Additionally, does the executive order seemingly
circumvent any congressional legislation?

Discussion
DQ1 Research the recent U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in
Carpenter v. United States (2018). How does this case provide information for
much of the material already studied in the class (e.g., privacy vs. security
concerns)? What were the facts of the case concerning the civil liberty issue,
and how was the case decided concerning the ideological divide?
DQ2 usually the word bureaucracy is considered a pejorative
term that connotes waste, fraud, and abuse. Considering the “problems
confronting bureaucracies” (see Instructor Insights), which one of the
“problems” is most pervasive in your opinion? Why?
