The Meeting Grounds for the Fangirl Army

[Cloud Leonhart]

Bye-bye, Imouto-chan. XD You could refuse the offer, you know. XD

[Athos]

Well, Cloud, sometimes getting connections is easier said then done. But it's possible.

I was in A.P. Government because I happened to get over a 100% in my World History class. It was alot of work, but I did it. I still can't believe I got a B in the class! For crying out loud, I brought in a lawyer to discuss a CA Supreme Court Case! And a B! I should have got an A!

[Cloud Leonhart]

Maybe your teacher was jealous or something? XD

[Athos]

Hahahaha? Jealous? Of a student like me? Well, there was that time where I showed him up when we held a full discussion of the Joint Chiefs. I asked him the day before if I could skip class, and he said no because I need to learn it. I reminded him that I know all that I need to know about them. I did 4 years in the corps after all. But, still, I did it in a manner which showed him respect. My friends in the class were just dumbfounded when I gave all the information that I did in the class.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Oh? Did you get a lot of requests for help in that class? XD

[Athos]

Oh? Did you get a lot of requests for help in that class? XD

A little. My classmates would ask me to just clarify on a few things. Everyone knew I was the smartest person in the class. But, if you were looking at my test scores, you would have never thought so.

The other questions that I dealt with were computer problems. I spent a lot of time getting out of my classes to fix other teachers' computers.

[Cloud Leonhart]

What was wrong with your test scores?

[Athos]

What was wrong with your test scores?

I always recieved C's on most of my tests, a couple of D's (but I retook them, and made them C's). I did manage to get an A when it came to the Supreme Court, and important cases. But when I began my political science class, my professor was surprised when I would participate in a class discussion, especially when I told him the definition of stare-deices.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Stare....deices? XD

[Athos]

Stare....deices? XD

I spelled it wrong. It's stare decisis. It is Latin for, "to stand by things decided."
Stare Decisis is the doctrine of precedent, under which court must follow earlier judicial decisions when the same points arise again in litigation.
(Taken from Black's Law Dictionary.)

Sometimes, when the Supreme Court does not grant a writ of cert (meaning, the Supreme Court won't hear the case), they will declare stare decisis. That would tell the lower courts to let the decision stand.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Ah, I see...I should be taking notes. XD

[Athos]

Ah, I see...I should be taking notes. XD

haha. Maybe. Out of the legislative, executive and the judicial branches, I love the Judiciary more. (Granted, I love them all--to study). It's just so interesting...and boring to everyone else XD. Especially when Chief Justice Marshall ruled in the most important case-- Marbury v. Madison.

The case of Marbury v. Madison established the concept of judicial review. Meaning that the Supreme Court can review any acts of the President (or any other executive function) and the legislation passed by Congress, and thereby declare them as "unconstitutional."

Now, if you need to learn anything important, it would be this. The President can not ask the Supreme Court any legal advice, or opinion.
That is where the Attorney General comes in. The Attorney General issues opinions which help the President in legal matters. Well, if you want to get technical, the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) writes the opinions. But the OLC is under the direction of the Attorney General.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Why can't The President ask the Supreme Court for any legal advice or opinion?

[Athos]

Why can't The President ask the Supreme Court for any legal advice or opinion?

Ah, excellent question. And I will gladly tell you. If my memory serves me right, I think it was George Washington who once asked John Jay (the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court) for an opinion. Jay replied that it wouldn't be right for the Court to issue such opinions to the President. Let's not forget, that the Attorney General has also another host of duties. I wish I still had my government textbook. I could have told you more accurately.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Oh, that's the only reason? XD Also, who needs a textbook when you have the internet? XD
