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.
