    We are taught that the courts and the Supreme Courts, in particular, are charged with interpreting the Constitution and the laws of the Unites States. We are further taught that the law enforcement should accept such interpertations uncritically and without hesitation. Theory and reality differ for at least four reasons, the Supreme Court sometimes makes decisions on excruciantingly detailed matters that have almost no appliciablility to most law enforcement officers most of the time.

    How a Bill Becomes a Law

    • 1118 Words

    <br>Now to begin, the bill must primarily go through the obstacles of the House. First, a sponsor introduces the bill by giving it to the clerk of the House or placing the bill in a box called the "hopper". The clerk numbers and gives a title to the bill and is then entered in the House journal and in the Congressional Record in a procedure called the first reading. Immediately following the first reading, the Speaker of the house assigns the bill to a certain committee. The House has about twenty standing or permanent committees of which each has jurisdiction over bills in a specific area. The committee then studies the bill by hearing the testimony of experts or other interested people. In some cases, a subcommittee (140 in the House) conducts the study. The committee may revise and release the bill by reporting it out, or lay it aside so that the house cannot vote on it by tabling. Because the standing committee only chooses what they think is worthwhile, most bills die in committee, this is called "pigeon-holed". Before the bill goes to the floor for consideration, a bill reported by a standing committee is placed on one of five specific calendars: union calendar, house calendar for public bills, private calendar, consent calendar (no opposition), or a discharge calendar. The Rules Committee may call for quick action on the bill, limit debate, and limit or prohibit amendments. otherwise, a bill might never reach the house floor. The consideration of the house begins with the second…

    The House 's Standing Committees are permanent House panels. The Standing Committees have legislative jurisdiction, therefore they consider bills and issues. They also suggest measures for deliberation by the full House. They are also responsible for monitoring agencies, programs, and activities within their jurisdictions. "The Standing Committees have the power to examine and inquire into all such things as the House might refer, report from time to time, append supplementary or dissenting opinions to reports, send for persons, papers, and records; sit when the House is sitting or when the House stands adjourned, sit jointly with other committees of the House, print from day to day such papers and evidence as the committee may order, and delegate powers to subcommittees - except the power to report directly to the House. (Pursuant to Standing Order 108(1))" The House has nineteen Standing Committees and eighty six Subcommittees. The Subcommittees do most of the work at their level. When the bill is dropped or introduced it is sent to the committee with the jurisdiction of that bill. The subcommittee determines whether or not the bill moves up to the full committee; unless there is a discharge petition. The head of the Subcommittee is the chairman; he has the right to ignore or mark up the bill. The leadership chooses the chairman, who in turn chooses the members of the committee. Each representative serves on about two full committees and four subcommittees.…

    Article 1 of the constitution covers the purpose and the organization of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Though there are ten sections in the Article and numerous subparagraphs, this paper will focus on the structure, and a few of the subparagraphs concerning its function. We will begin with the organization since this should be covered before the responsibilities are addressed; this starts in the second section, with how the house will be selected, the requirements to be selected, and how the proportions should be arranged. This was an extremely sensitive subject for many of the delegates at the time of the framing of the constitution due to representation.…

    Throughout the Criminal Justice System there are many causes where people discuss the matters of arrests and probable cause. In the case of Garcia vs. Merced County probable cause and search warrants were discussed. The case centers around a criminal defense attorney who was accused of being willing of smuggling contraband to county inmates. John Garcia was accused of the crime by Officers Cardwood and Taylor based on information given to them by an inmate informant named Robert Plunkett. Garcia was never charged with any criminal offences; however, he sewed Officers Cardwood and Taylor in federal court for violations and his rights for false arrests. In order to completely understand the case in depth discussion of the elements, the court judgment, and my thoughts of the case are all important parts to consider.…
