EOC 2 Supreme Court

The Supreme Court as of in late 2013 opens up a new term during a government shutdown. Even with the shutdown affecting the country, the Court will run normally until the end of week since its new term beginning in the first Monday of October. The term will be rather short for Supreme Court due to battles over Health Care and Gay marriage.

 Supreme Court has had states where they despise them for them denying rights for same sex marriage also abortion. Supreme Court has unfinished business to deal with in their new term. They have major issues with college and who’s allowed in it also the government denying health benefits to married gay couples.

One other is the government dealing with elections more specifically the ones who had a history of discrimination towards African-Americans. The court now in its new term is still refusing to adopt for itself the ethical code that they enforce. The U.S. judges under the Code of Conduct are instructed to maintain their own independence by acting either without fear or favor.

Judges from now on have to disqualify themselves from cases for which involve them and their family who have the same personal interest. It also helps with them to disclose their personal finances. Some members of Supreme Court have followed the Code of Conduct, but they have resisted calls that the court adopt it and create a sort of mechanism to enforce it.

The justice is left with the decision for him or her to disqualify themselves from a case, it’s on them to whether leave or go along with the case. They can be openly and also associated with political issues or candidates. Supreme Court has many major issues to deal with for the people and the country.
