Some people strongly favor term limits for governmental officials. The U.S. practice regarding this issue differs among the three branches of government. There are term limits on the presidency, for instance, but none for members of Congress. For the Supreme Court, there are no term limits on justices, and they are never required to win election or re-election. Once appointed by the president, justices may serve for life. Thurgood Marshall, the great Supreme Court justice, was 81 years old when a reporter asked him when he planned to retire. Marshall responded, “I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die at 110 . . .”
In this Discussion, you will analyze strengths and weaknesses of lifetime appointments of Supreme Court justices and whether or not you believe lifetime appointments have a positive impact on American democracy.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Interactive Units from this week’s Learning Resources.
Review the article on term limits for judges in the Learning Resources.
Consider how Supreme Court justices are chosen, including the specific role of the president and Congress.
Reflect on why Supreme Court justices have lifetime appointments.
Consider how lifetime appointments aid or deter the decisions of Supreme Court justices and why.
What are the risks of not providing lifetime appointments?
How does the makeup of the Supreme Court affect its group decision making?
Include at least one reference and citation from the course readings and one reference and citation from an article found in the Walden Library to support your rationale.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of two strengths and two weaknesses of lifetime appointments for Supreme Court justices. Be sure to include a rationale for why the Supreme Court justices should or should not have lifetime appointments.
Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources, or something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
Overview of Instructions: For the first topic, your initial post (roughly 300-500 words) should summarize how the respective political economic perspective perceives Inflation and unemployment (Chapters 8) – be clear about which chapter you are using), in terms of proper role of government, actual role of government, and proposals for reform.
Select one of the proposals discussed. NOTE: Clark discusses the different policy proposals in different ways. For some he has a clearly identified section for policy proposals, but in other chapters the proposals are embedded in his discussion of the principles of that political-economic perspective. Using the following sub-headings, describe how the Conservative Perspective applies to the questions: 1) How would the specific public problem be identified/defined, 2) is there a preferred policy and/or policy type (Lowi: distributive, redistributive, regulatory, or self-regulatory) that is advocated (or is it a mixture) to alleviate the problem, and 3) which proposal (for this problem or policy area) would be considered most important to pass/implement from a modern liberalism and which proposal do you think would be the most feasible to pass/implement under the current policy/political environment and why. Analyze the current policy/political environment from the conservative perspective. Would they think this proposal is likely to pass and what would they say is the reason they assess it in that way.

Unit 6 Discussion: Implications of Cost of Capital and Capital Budgeting
considering what we have learned thus far regarding the importance of determining the cost of capital as well using capital budgeting tools, explain why it is important to understand that capital budgeting is subject to the validity of the forecasted data. Additionally, explain whether this reduces the reliability of these types of tools. Are there any other alternatives, or are these tools some of the most reliable that currently exist?In response to your peers, discuss other options that may be available as opposed to the capital budgeting techniques discussed. Also, explain your reasoning should you have a differing viewpoint from the peers regarding the efficacy of capital budgeting techniques.
