My Thoughts On Yours

Katherine's Article: President Obama's Deal With Iran

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Katherine's blog. She made a lot of solid points and successfully captured my attention as the reader. I agree that Obama's decision to bypass Congress has too made me uncomfortable. I don't feel as if he's accurately covered all bases and quite honestly feel like this is a little too impulsive for my liking. Katherine makes a great point when she says, "This agreement aligns the U.S with an enemy while ignoring the concerns of our allies in this region." To me this statement speaks volumes. It not only raises red flags for me about the well being of our country but I also really agree with her words. I believe this agreement is not as thought out as it should be, there are a lot of questions left unanswered and while reading Katherine's article I found that I agreed with most everything she said. The only flaw in this blog was the missing link to the article that I was curious to read after such a great blog post! Great job, Katherine!

Rights For Convicted Criminals, PAHHH!

High court order review of sex offender GPS monitoring

Richard Wolf is a previous reporter on the Supreme Court, White House and Congress In Washington Career and maintained this position for more than a decade. In this article Wolf writes about the Supreme Court’s attempt to place ankle monitors on registered sex offenders. A North Carolina man, Torrie Dale Grady fights back with a claim that the ankle monitor violates the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment states that unreasonable search and seizure without a warrant and probable cause is prohibited.  
Wolf supplies a lot of information and describes in great detail the ends and outs of the case. I enjoyed reading his article; it was interesting and informative. I believe the ankle monitor is a great punishment for such disturbing crimes. If you cannot be trusted on your own and have committed several offenses, you should be monitored every waking second of your day. The fact that Grady thinks he’s entitled to any rights at this point after committing such offenses is a joke. Richard Wolf does a wonderful job of supplying the most information possible in such few paragraphs. Throughout the article Wolf consistently offers quotations from said case and makes the writer feel very involved with the ongoing situation. I hope to see the Supreme Court continue to get its way for the safety of our communities and our nation as a whole.
