Last week notes that I missed ...
JUDICIAL BRANCH:
- Supreme Court judges server for life unless impeached
- Judicial power rests with US Supreme Court and other courts created by Congress

- Cases involving ambassadors go straight to Supreme Court
- Judicial Review comes later (1803- Marbury vs. Madison)
RELATIONS AMONG THE STATES
- State Acts and Records
- Citizenship
- Extradition (Rob a bank in Iowa, flees to Montana)
NEW STATES
- Admission (by Congress; example Puerto Rico becoming a state)

Article 5- tells how the Constitution can be amended
Article 6- Constitution is the supreme law of the land

Friday- We had a debate over a dress that was clearly black and blue, but some crazy people said it was white and gold

Tuesday - Worked a bit on Middle East Asian Map and then resumed working on Amendments project.
Only 12 states are left that haven't allowed Gay Marriage now.
Islamic Revolution was in the 70s in which Britain had a lot of control. The Islams rose up and overthrew the government because they didn't like how Britain and America was controlling all of the oil and money. In the 80s, we gave Huddam Sussam money to make the Iranians back off. Obama is questioning the Israeli President's credibility. They are on the outs because they both have different takes on how to take care of nuclear issues in Iran. Israel wants the terrorism gone and Obama isn't pushing any issues currently.
Wednesday - Spread the Word to End the Word -- To end the "R" word.
