Justice Scalia Vs. Martin: A Case Study

241 Words1 Page

The first point that was issued in the dissent is that Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas, believe that Mr. Martin is not a customer of the tour. That Title III only covers customers; the court ruled that Mr. Martin was a customer and those golf courses whether public or private must make reasonable accommodations. Justice Scalia compares a pro baseball player stating that they participate and play at fields but are certainly not considered customers of the league (PGA Tour, Inc v. Martin, 2001). Title III does not require "... 'modifications [that] would fundamentally alter the nature ' of the goods, services, and privileges." (PGA Tour, Inc v. Martin, 2001 Justice Scalia believes that the use of a golf cart does alter the game.

    “It’s About Time, Augusta!” by Lydia Gumm, Augusta National Golf Club has been discriminating against females for many years and nothing has been done about it, until 2012. Even then people were still prejudice with the bathrooms signs saying “Males Only.” This represents how Augusta is until it finally ended with their first female member. In other matters, the all-male members owned the club, which allowed them to do whatever they wanted, and this allowed them to deny membership to women. Consequently, this is not the only discrimination that Augusta has faced.

I concur with the Federal court's findings in that, The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were created to protect the rights and freedoms of Canadian citizens in Canada. Outside of Canada, citizens are protected by international laws between sovereign states. Therefore, crimes committed in other judicial sanctions should be dealt with by their own court of law, without interference of other countries sovereignty. The case of R. v.

  • Summary Of Antonin Scalia's Adoption Of The Constitution

    688 Words  | 3 Pages

    The articles written by Antonin Scalia and Stephen Breyer both contribute valid insight on how the Constitution should be interpreted. They, however, end up taking conflicting views on whether to adopt what is known as a living constitution or to bind the judiciary by the original meaning of the document. Throughout their works, the authors mention the importance of objectivity, judicial restraint and the historical context in which the Constitution was written under and whether or not it should apply to the United States today. Scalia argues in favor of the originalist approach, stating that he supports neither a strict nor a loose interpretation of the Constitution, but rather, a reasonable interpretation. Breyer sides with the cosequentialist ideals, claiming that active participation in collective power is paramount when it comes to evaluating the Constitution's place in American law.

    The opinion concerning the case that was accessible were the U.S Supreme Court opinions concerning Skilling’s appeal. Justice Ginsburg delivered the first opinion. He considered two questions when asserting his opinion. Did pretrial publicity and community prejudice, the trial was held in Texas where most employees hailed from, prevent Skilling from a fair trial and did the jury improperly convict Skilling of conspiracy to commit honest-services fraud? Judge Ginsberg answered no to both questions and held to the existing convictions but chose to partial vacate the honest-services fraud due to bribery and kickbacks not falling into the honest-services statute (Skilling VS United States, 2010).

    Within our contemporary society, the Bill of Rights serves as symbol of the basic American freedoms and protects individuals from irrational government policies, which are not explicitly stated in the Constitution. In the Supreme Court case Maryland v. King, the culprit, Alonzo Jay King, utilized the Fourth Amendment after Maryland police arrested him for first and second-degree assault and swabbed his mouth to collect his DNA in order to check for any previous crimes committed. King argued that the practice of collecting DNA was unconstitutional because Maryland did not have a definite reason to analyze his DNA, as this intruded his privacy and that law enforcements would abuse the collection of DNA in order to convict people of unrelated

    The event that took place over two hundred years ago, but still has an effect in our government today is the Marbury v. Madison court case. This supreme court case is considered to be one of the most important milestones in history because of how it played out. Now, all three branches of the United States government have an equal role to each other. Although Chief Justice John Marshall did not want to rule against William Marbury receiving his commission for his position as a justice of the peace, he did so to establish judicial review, the element that was missing in the system of checks and balances. It all began when Thomas Jefferson of the Democratic-Republican party defeated John Adams of the Federalists in the election of 1800.
