In 1957, Congress added “under God” after “one nation” to the Pledge of Allegiance. A lawsuit was filed in California arguing that rules requiring students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance with its affirmative reference to God violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment. The case of Elk Grove Unified School District v Newdow (2004) went to the Supreme Court. While the Court chose to not decide the issue by arguing that Newdow did not have standing, the establishment clause was widely discussed in oral arguments. The oral argument for this case can be found on the Oyez website for online streaming or to download the MP3 file at (Links to an external site.). Listen to the relevant selections of the argument. The school district’s attorney argues this issue at 17:16 to 26:17, and Newdow, representing himself, argues the issue from 30:17 to 44:0. What are the facts of this case? Explain the establishment clause of the First Amendment? What did the courts decide and why? Do you agree or disagree with the Court? Do you agree or disagree that the Pledge of Allegiance should be recited as “One nation under God”?

post your initial response to the following questions: 1. While gross income, citizenship, and family size are all a part of eligibility criteria, the people who get rental assistance are ultimately determined by a lottery. What are your thoughts on a lottery system? Does it ensure that those who are most in need get assistance? Can you think of an alternative option to a lottery? 2. Programs like the FRA have lifted millions out of deep poverty, showing these programs do have an impact on children and their families. Why do you think Congress has made major cuts to housing assistance recently? 3. The CARES Act eviction moratorium ends on July 24th 2020. If it does not get extended, landlords have the right charge a penalty or evict families if they fail to pay their rent. Given that we do not know how long the pandemic, and subsequent high unemployment rates will last, what do you suggest Congress do to both support families with renting assistance but also not further damage the economy by defaulting rent payments?

Not everyone agrees on how much power the judicial branch should have. After all, federal judges and justices are appointed, not elected. As most Americans believe in democracy, shouldn’t elected officials run the country? On the other hand, perhaps American government would be fairer if judges had even more power. Because they do not have to worry about reelection, they are relieved of the outside pressure of public opinion. After all, the majority is not always right. What are your thoughts on the powers of the United States Supreme Court? Do you think it has too much power today? Why or why not? If you believe it has too much power, can you think of a way to limit the powers of the Supreme Court? If you believe it can do with more power, what additional powers would you propose the Supreme Court should be given? If you believe the Supreme Court has just the right amount of power, talk about what you like about it and what can best be done to maintain the current system.
