Right pours cash into Senate races
This article is about the democrats recieving a lot of money for campaigning. The Republicans have spent a lot of money on campaigning, more than the Senate has. But the third party group had raised money for the Senate to campaign. They raised $53 million, thats about $5 million more then the Republican. So now the Republicans are struggling. A lot of groups seemed to have beein getting support from the Supreme Court. This allowed them to make TV ads without making thier donors known. The Supreme Court said that section 501(c)(4) allowed the groupd to do so. But this is now becoming a problem because people will not know who are the sources.
What this article had to do with the Judicial Branch is that the Supreme court had let the groups advertise. This hows that the groups needed thier apporval of advertising the campaigns of the Senate and Reps. So the Judicial Branch does have power, even though people are now worried because of what the Judical branch supported. The judicial branch supported the groups because of section 501(c) 4(s). This is what let the supreme court support.
I think that what the supreme court decided wasn't the best thing to do. I think that all people, organizations, etc. should be recognized by what they do. Such as the donors who gave the money to the groups to campaign. If it weren't for them, then they wouldnt have money to campaign with. Its like plagarism sort of, your not giving credit to people responsible. But if the Supreme court decided already, then oh well.

Executive
Senate gone, Obama seats nominees
Article 2- Section 2- "He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."
Obama made decisions of who to gi ve the seats to in the Senate. He chose Craig Becker and Mark Pearce to his administration. Obama chose 15 nominees to his administration. Obama states that 77 of his nominees were gone because of the partisan politics. Obama also was to choose nominees for four seats, Department of Homeland Security, Commerce Department, Treasury Department and U.S. Trade Representative. he used his power there, to make his decision. But before the people he nominated take the seat, it has to be approved by the Senate. And they were approved.
This article connects to the Executive because one of the powers that President Obama has is to choose his cabinet, and to select the nominees for who gets to be "in charge" of a certain office. In the article it states that the president, Obama, "shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States." He obviously used his power in this situation. In the article it states that Craig Becker and Mark Pearce were nomniated by Obama by using his executive power. Obama made a lot of decisions for nominees in certain offices, which kept getting disapproved. But he still had the power to choose other nominees for the office. Obama had the power to chooose whoever in which he thought would be a good runner up for the spot.
I do believe that Obama is trying his very best in being the president. I know he is trying to pick the best people to be in his cabinet. He is picking a strong cabinet to protect the US and to make us stronger as a country. I do beleive he will use his power wisely for being in power to choose who gets to be in office. But I also believe that the Senate knows whose best for what as well.

Legislative
The recipe for recovery
Article I- Section 8- "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States"
This article is about how Congress is going to help the economy get better. Right now, congress' number one priority is to help the economy. Republicans are against tax cuts for 95% of Americans, and are also against small bussinesses hiring. But the Democrats however did cut the taxes for 95% of Americans. They made serious investements for bridges, railways, and roads. They also cut taxes on small bussinesses so that they can hire unemployed people. They also made it easier for employers to get health insurance. Also, for middle class they ended credit card billing practices. They also made the biggest student lending investment.
What this article has to do with Article I Section 8, is that Congress have the power to tax or not. Democrats in this article are cutting taxes and are helping small bussinesses and people. They also ended credit card practices to prevent people from going into debt. Article 1 Section 8 gave congress the power to cut the taxes and stop credit card practices. They cut 95% of Amercians taxes, which is a HUGE percentage. And they had no problem in doing so because of the power that congress is given.
I think its good that congress is finally doing something to help the economy. Especially in cutting the taxes for Americans. I think that was a huge step, but I dont understand why Republicans were not for it. Congress did good in making this decision though. They really are helping the economy, in which they should. They also fixed the roads, etc. which was a good idea because I am sure there is a lot of repairs to be done.
