Discuss whether you think the current Supreme Court is conservative, liberal, or balanced

The Supreme Court consists of the chief justice of the United States and such number of associate justices as may be fixed by Congress. The number of associate justices is currently fixed at eight. Power to nominate the Justices is vested in the president of the United States, and appointments are made with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Constitution further provides that “the Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office” (U.S. Const., art. III, § 1).For this discussion, visit the official Web site of the Supreme Court of the United States. Choose one recent court decision from the past two years, and complete the following:

How much should the power of elected officials be limited?

Some government jobs require a high level of expertise. Scientists employed by the Centers for Disease Control are one example. To protect these civil servants, the amount of power elected officials and supervisors have over them is limited. But civil service rules create bureaucracy, making it very hard for elected officials to effect change quickly.

 

Respond to the following:
•             How much should the power of elected officials be limited?
•             Do you think civil service protections should be limited? For example, should elected officials have more power over hiring and firing?
Discuss the reasons for your opinions, focusing on the tradeoff between protecting expertise and promoting democratic control and protecting the interests of the public versus special interests. Your argument should include specific reasons for your viewpoint and should be supported by information from the text.
