QUESTION 4
With the appointment of Justices Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barret to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Court is now at its full complement of nine justices. After Justice Scalia died, the Court functioned for over one year with only eight justices which meant that several cases were actually not decided because a tie vote (four to four) meant that the lower court decision would stand. The Constitution only states that the President “with the Advice and Consent of the Senate…shall appoint judges of the Supreme Court….” There is no time limit in place. In your opinion should there be put into place a procedure so that the situation of having only eight justices would not happen again? Can any such procedure be implemented without an amendment to the Constitution? Please explain you answer. (20 Points)

Based on all of the reaction to the Court’s decision, should they reconsider their decision in this case? Please explain. If you were to plan an approach to have the court change the decision, what might be your action? Please explain. Does the type of case which is before the court change your answer? Please explain.

QUESTION 7
Dan Maloney and Logan Ponce, two University of Illinois students who portrayed Chief Illiniwek (a school mascot) and received scholarship money for doing that, filed suit against the trustees of the University of Illinois and the NCAA alleging “…that they are being denied their rights to free speech, and that the scholarships which they received upon becoming chiefs are in jeopardy, hindering their academic goals.” (NY Times, Mar. 4, 2007). The suit alleges that “…the NCAA is interfering with the students’ academic freedom, since both students receive college credit for portraying the chief.”
Do Dan Maloney and Logan Ponce have standing to file suit, and, if your answer is yes, in what court should the suit be filed? (The NCAA is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.) If your answer is no, what other options do they have? Please explain. (25 Points)

This appears to be a direct, legislative challenge to the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. From your knowledge of the “Judicial Process,” what legal (court) actions would you expect to occur as a result of this law? In your opinion (speculation), should this “case” eventually be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court? Please explain. (20 Points)

QUESTION 9
A suit was filed in Federal District court in California which alleged that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional because the phrase “under God” is contained in it, and requiring the recitation of the pledge in this form is in violation of the First Amendment establishment of religion clause. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion which affirmed the lower court ruling that the Pledge is unconstitutional.
A petition for certiorari was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court. Without deciding the case what do you feel are the major arguments why or why not the Court should agree with the lower court’s opinion. (Note: This case was dismissed on other, technical grounds not related to the issues asked in this question. After being refilled, a court did reach a decision on the basic issue.) Give arguments for both sides of the issue. (35 Points)

QUESTION 10
In class we have talked about the “big picture” regarding judicial process, meaning that even when looking at one aspect at a time, we cannot forget about all the influences that may affect that process. How should judges, even Supreme Court Justices, interpret the Constitution and apply it in today\s world. Give your opinion about how judges (Justices) should interpret the Constitution – a strict, basic application of the “fundamental” principles of the Founding Fathers, a modern, liberal application, or some other approach or combination of approaches. Please explain and give your reasons and include any specific examples or suggestions that you can think of. (20 Points)
