 Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President then voted on by Congress. The Justices then serve until retirement resignation or death unless the Justice fails to have good behavior. Do you think Supreme Court Justices should serve for life? Should the American people vote for Justices or leave it those who have experience?

1.) After the Olympics there was conflict in Ukraine because they didn't like their president. Russia brought forces in to "protect" them. Citizens of Ukraine went to vote on if the natural resource place should separate from Ukraine, while they were voting there were soldiers with huge guns.
2.) No, the U.S needs to worry about their own problems.

3/19

I'm just not sure I understand how a plane "disappears." That word doesn't fit with what happened. I don't think it disappeared, I think someone hi-jacked it or had some terrible plan for the people on the flight since it deliberately changed direction. I feel like we can assume that the people are dead, or severely injured.

 The president has to write a letter saying he is ready to take back over.

The vice president is known as the president in waiting.

 If the vice president dies the president can choose another one with congress agreeing.

2/5

does the government have a right to restrict what people on food stamps are buying? why or why not? In a way I think they should but then again I don't. People on food stamps should be able to get water because it is better for them but they should be able to have a variety. 

2/4

does this story show a breach in first amendment rights?
You shouldn't be a loud to sue for a bad review. 
what can your congressmen do about this? 
I am not completely sure but I feel like they can stop this.

1/31

would you build the keystone pipeline even if it had adverse environmental affects? No because we have enough stuff effecting the environment already.

I would hate it because I am so use to it I would get mad about peoples reactions.
do you find these stories funny, appalling, sad?
Sometimes funny because they are a little ridiculous.

No not really because people aren't really aren't against a specific group because they wear a stupid t-shirt. 

No they shouldn't because people should be a loud to wear what they want to as long as it's appropriate.  

No people should be able to wear an American flag shirt when they want to because its not like you are completely against someone. 

Bell Ringer for 2/27
