The federal courts handle those who break federal laws while the state courts handle state laws. The differentiation is so that the judges can focus in on one section of crime instead of trying to focus on all of them. If they didn't judges would be overwhelmed and also there would be no separation in state and federal laws.

The advantages are that judges won't get influenced because they don't have to worry about re election. The disadvantage is that they can bring old ways of thinking that don't represent the country. I prefer the lifetime appointment because it doesn't cloud their judgment by making them worry about being re elected.

To make sure that the right people are handling the situation.

This app would be used for lawmakers as well as citizens it would make it easier for them to both communicate to each other. First on the lawmakers side the app would have a chat room where citizens could tell the congressmen what they want to be passed. The people can talk about previous laws that were passed as well as people can respond to what other people post about the bills. The app would also have another tab where credible news sources could post about what they think about the bill as well as other things that the bill would do. The app would make the law making process easier and more efficient because there would be a direct link between the congressman and the people. This would also help them be transparent because the app would have a function to show how each congressman voted in previous bills as well as share the official contact of the congressman so people could easily get in contact with them. This app would be useful because it would bridge the gap of communication between congressman and their constituents by creating a direct line of communication that is at bot of their fingertips. This app also allows congressmen to see what the people really want from the congressmen and how they want to live in their communities and how they want it ran. This alleviates Congress’ power because it lets the people see more of what they are up to in a convenient and accessible way where they can access it from anywhere, because in modern times people always have their phone on them. So, having an app that has all the information of the congressional process and all the information about congressmen and their history in the palm of constituents hands would have more informed voters. This can also cause people to be more interested in politics and cause them to read more about candidates when other voting scenarios come up. This app would be very good for congressmen because they would be able to see what the people wanted and tailor their politics to match those values. This would also be good for citizens because they can see what their congressmen are up to and contact them if they are doing something that they do not agree with as well as talk to other people about issues which they care about.

The question that I would ask a judge in a confirmation hearing is what have you learned through your time as a judge that would prepare you to be a supreme court justice? This would be important to see how they grew from the beginning and who they may be as a justice in the future. If in the future they could help me in passing laws which I want to pass then I would want them to be a Supreme Court Justice. They could help me when someone questions whether the laws which I want to pass are constitutional. Previous rulings that they have made would shape the way that they think and what they experienced and this can show how they would think in the future. This would show how they interpret laws and this would show how they interpret the constitution when it comes to Supreme Court rulings. This is because in some cases both are ambiguous in what they mean and the way which it is interpreted as can have long lasting effects on the country when Supreme Court rulings are made and how they ruled on short term rulings will show how they can rule in landmark cases.This can show how their mind works and how they would vote in the future on issues and if they were views which I would like then they could be advantageous to the things which I would hope to be accomplished in the future. The way this would secure a type of justice is it would show who they are and how they think and if they align with what I think then they would be more favorable. If something that I wanted to pass went to the supreme court I would want someone who thought like me to be there so it would be easier for me to pass las. This would be through this confirmation hearing question because if the person has a past which I can relate to then they would be someone who I would want as a Supreme Court justice because the think similarly to me and would rule in my favor and help me accomplish the things that I want to accomplish. In the end I would ask this question to see if their thoughts and the way they would work that would favor me and make rulings that could help me make laws which I support.
