Since 2000 Republicans have been trying to reach out to Hispanics and women to expand their base. A filibuster of Sotomayor will alienate the Hispanic community and almost guarantee a loss in the 2010 congressional elections.

On the other hand, Republicans may believe that a filibuster of Sotomayor will show America the GOP is true to its values, thereby attracting larger numbers of white, male voters.

So – what does the GOP do here?

This is very difficult sometimes because some people are apathetic and they feel the democratic process is too slow and they think the government doesnt realy listen and that they are not responsive to citizens.

The law states that it is not up to a politician to determine the intent of the voter.

I have to write an essay for my Political Science class but I’m a little unclear with what the question is asking. This is it:
Explain the concept of separation of powers in the system of the Constitution and discuss two contrasting examples, relating to contemporary issues of the relations between Congress and the Executives, one in the area of domestic politics and the other in the area of foreign policy.
The part I don’t get is about the contrasting examples. If anyone has any ideas or insight I would really appreciate it! Thank you so much!
