To what seems to be the end will soon be the beginning of utilizing what we learned into the real world. On our last course Policy we had defined the judicial branch power. As we looked at the historical context we discovered the shift in the established power the branch had carried. John Marshall played an impactful role in paving the way we as the United States sees the Judicial power. This transitioned into investigating cases that changed policy in America specifically supreme court cases. Dred v. Scott, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, and Texas v. Madison to name a few were cases we had look into as a class to help us find the connection in which our policies tend to take. I had seen how the supreme court or the "popular policy" is based on prior cases and what I mean by this is without the help of cases like the Dred v. Scott where the importance came from the technically of even having a stand later changed into the Plessy v. Ferguson where separate but equal was to be the constitutional resolution later then turned into a question of Brown v Board of Education where we they then as the judicial branch had to be challenged in diluting the new argument. As a class we had experimented to play the role of the Marshall Court hearing Boumediene v. Bush this was an awesome way to get engaged in the conversation so many of us feel unethical to have. Our questions, concerns, and curiosity smoothly transitioned into action as we individually take a look at a supreme court case of our choice to dissect and ask ourselves was it constitutional. I chose a supreme court case that happened just around Chicago's northern border. As you watch my video place yourself in the conversation, thank you. :)
