Conservapedia:The Supreme Court

Stewgen: /* Enroll here: */

"The Supreme Court" is a one-semester course for those curious about how the Court became more [[liberal]] in the 1960s through 1980s, and for those interested in learning how the Court can get back on a more traditional path for the future.

This course will harness the power of Conservapedia to build an online constitutional law treatise for the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] of the future. Currently the leading constitutional law treatise cites about 3000 decisions, many of which are quickly becoming outdated and overruled by the [[Roberts Court]]. The author of that constitutional law treatise, Laurence Tribe, has announced that he will not be publishing an updated edition in the near future. This course and Conservapedia course will fill that void for the online future.

Categories essential to this course include:
<br>[[:Category:United States Supreme Court]]
<br>[[:Category:United States Supreme Court Cases]]
<br>[[:Conservapedia:Supreme Court Project]]

Lectures are [[The Supreme Court Lectures|here]].

Questions addressed in this course include:

*in how many years does the Supreme Court make or remake 50% (weighted by significance) of its case law? Expressed in scientific terms, what is the "half-life" of the Supreme Court?

*what precedents are there now 5 [[conservative]] votes for overruling? Are there 5 votes to overrule ''[[Roe v. Wade]]''?

*which precedents are at risk of being overruled in the upcoming 2007-2008 Term?

*what are the most interesting cases likely to be appealed to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]? Should amicus briefs be filed for any upcoming petitions?

*will the Supreme Court [[grant cert.]] in the [[gun control]] case, and how will it rule?

*What are the judicial philosophies of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] Justices?

*What are the worst [[liberal]] decisions rendered by the Court?

This fascinating course will examine critically the worst decisions of the past half-century and consider judicial and legislative corrections to them.

This cutting-edge course will emphasize decisions rendered as recently as this summer and will review cases on the Court's docket for the fall. This course will draw upon the expertise of leading attorneys and activists, including at least one teacher who practices before the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]. Utilizing the full power of Conservapedia, this course will incorporate important news about the Court as it occurs and anticipate issues that will dominate political discourse in the upcoming election season.

By the end of the course students will be far more knowledgeable about the most important government institution in the world: the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]

Stewgen: Request to join course if it is still possible

I can't believe that you intend to educate people with this 'course', when 18 words into the course syllabus you lay out opinion like that. Education is ''surely''about letting students make up their ''own'' minds, not shoving preconceived notions down their throats. Since I already know before I would take this course what I will learn- why would I take it? [[User:MissInfo|MissInfo]] 22:08, 9 August 2007 (EDT)

How is it opinion to state that the court became more liberal during that time period? That's a fact. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 22:12, 9 August 2007 (EDT)

What do you doubt, MissInfo? Your comment conspicuously lacks any quotes of anything you deny in the course description. That type of criticism isn't going to persuade anyone here. Godspeed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:17, 9 August 2007 (EDT)

:Textbook?-[[User:Baruch|Baruch]] 15:31, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

:: I'm looking at some affordable options now. Suggestions welcome. I will probably recommend an '''optional''' textbook or two, and the only mandatory portion will be the free online lectures, assignments and exams.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:32, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

The focusing questions in the main page are quite good, in my opinion. However, missinfo might be referring to quotes like this "Liberal judges, and particularly the Warren Court (1953-1969) but continuing until the present, are responsible for our transformation from moral and economic leadership to widespread despair, particularly among our youth." (Found in lecture one.) I'm interested in learning about the supreme court's liberal bias, and how it negatively impacts our country, but I believe this statement is unfair.

p.s. when will this course get up and running with discussion? thanks, J. {{unsigned|Jsusman}}

Hi All: I am new around here. I arrived by way of [Eagle Forum], which advertised a free course "Supreme Court 101". So I am not sure I am in the right place. I did create an account here at Conservapedia, but did not receive a confirmation email. So I decided to use this talk feature.
I would like to join this course. Is it too late? I am unable to tell by the postings here. If not, when does the new semester begin? Would some one respond please. Thanks stewgen
