Wednesday 2 September

Today class began by review the table of generalized political beliefs.

Next the class used a current event to have a brief overview of many of the unit topics of the year.

The Kentucky Clerk v. SCOTUS

Class began by identifying what Federalism; Checks & Balances; Judicial Review; and the 14th Amendment are.

Mr. Zartler then briefly explained the history of denying same sex couples the right to marry; DOMA 1996; and the history and processes leading up to the Supreme Court ordering finding the marriage is a right open to all couples.


Next the class viewed a clip filmed at the Rowan County Kentucky Offices yesterday and read the following article: Kentucky Clerk Denies Same-Sex Marriage Licenses, Defying Court

The class ended discussing the issues involved and looking forward to hearing what happens in the district court tomorrow.
