Am. Gov't -Sup. Ct. Article from the New York Times

Class,

 

 If you wouldn't mind, please briefly read this article as well as this one regarding the vacancies on the court. I can't emphasize enough, how important it is, that we're able to witness these events as they unfold as we study the US Government. We are beginning our studies at just the right time.

 

 None of these notes of the past few days are really 'heavy lifting', but when taken in with the other coverage, I hope they provide a little more 'personal' understanding of the balance of power/checks and balances questions, than simply reading our textbook would.
