 The Supreme Court



The Supreme Court is apart of the judicial branch. As you can probably tell since it does Supreme, they are the highest federal court for our nation. They make sure that laws are being practiced and that everything that goes on in court cases and new laws is constitutional. They also have the power to check the other two branches to make sure they aren't going overboard. The Supreme Court has 9 justices, who are the people that help make decisions and make sure the other two branches in the government are being constitutional when making laws or when people want to know if something is within their rights or not.


The Beginning 


While the Supreme Court was established in the constitution it wasn't of any use until 1803 when Marbury v. Madison came into play It is one of the most known cases and is seen has the case that really made the Judicial branch have power. Later on, they decided that there should be 9 justices and they have not changed that number ever since. 




Now

The court now can be seen as very controversial because they are allowed to work for life and people have seen it has been "too comfortable" since they will never get replaced unless they retire or die. There is also a controversy on whether or not the president should be picking the new justices because it might be biased and it will reflect in court.

Amy Coney Barret was appointed as justice during 2020 following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This was one of the most controversial decisions President Trump has made because Justice Barret is the complete opposite of Justice Ginsburg.

This, among many other factors, is why innovators have worked tirelessly to continue to advance our contactless pay method. Also, with technology in other areas continuing to advance, many investors, businesses, and other entities have been more than willing to support the continuing advancements of contactless pay using Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and other forms of NFC pay. Card reader companies, such as Verifone, implemented the ability to accept NFC payment on their readers.

Online Presense: Blog 11 (FINAL)

My whole life on the Internet? Social Media has been apart of my life since around Elementary school. I remember opening up my first Facebook account and lying about my age-you have to be 13 to have Facebook- so I could have my page. It never occurred to me that whatever I was posting would stay on the internet forever.  Up until High School, I firmly believed that if we were to just delete what we posted on any site it would be gone forever. Boy, when I look back now I really wish I would have listened to my teachers in Middle School. They told us to be careful with what we post on the internet because it can come back to haunt us.
