Jury

In my opinion, I think that the voting should be changed to a vote of 10 to 2 because that would make trials go easier and we csn surpass all of the thick- headed people who don't agree with them no matter what. I think it is good for justice, because then if the two people really wants to have a voice, they don't have to be by themselves to make the point. I think that jurors can keep their cell phones because they have the right to keep them and they should know to restrain themselves from searching.

Congressional Earmarks

Congressional earmarks are projects that congressmen and congresswomen fund by the government, but not relevent to the entire country itself. The earmarks made by individual congressmen usually benefit only the states they are representing. Earmarks upset many Americans because some of the projects have nothing to do with anything if they are in different states, so it is a waste of money that could be spent on more important issues. The one that is completely obsurd and has nothing to do with the entire country would be the sex life of Japanese quail, this has absolutely nothing to to with any of yhe states ormeven the country, since they are quail from Japan. I think that this will not help the country in any way, so we just wasted money. To help keep track of the money being spent, we should have a overseeing committee of civilians who keeps track and judges if they will help the country or not.

Filibuster

A filibuster occurs when a senator refuses to give up the floor and prevents roll call! It provides a way for a senator's voice to be heard. A filibuster also gives a lot of power to the senator, they can maximize their leverage with congressmen and the president. I see a filibuster being a good thing if the senator is going for a cause worth following, and he or she knows that the public will back them up if they try to argue the case. A filibuster is also not a good feature because it slows down the interworkings of the governemnt, and other important duties of the other senators cannot be achieved while a filibuster is taking place. I think we should keep the filibuster because it is a right of the american people of freedom of speech, and if someone feels that passionate about something that they will talk hours on end about it, then I think they have the right to do so.
