Impeachment Or Not, The Strength Of Our Democracy Persists

"The rule of law is the strength of our democracy and no one is above it - not our neighbors. not our coworkers, and not the President of the United States" was the opening statement of U.S. Representative of Florida Val Demings, an African American woman and former law enforcement official, for the House Judiciary Committee's Impeachment Inquiry.

Today's hearing by Val Demings was emphasizing the lack of cooperation from the current President of the United States. Regardless of position, our democracy was designed so that no one could overthrow the rule of law. There is an embedded systematic process of checks and balances from three branches which are the legislative, judicial, and executive. These branches are not listed in order of power because it simply does not exist.

To abuse one branch's power to prove a point by shutting down the White House countless times leads to more harm than good. There are people with government jobs, and then there are people who are in life-threatening situations that are in need of further governing. To completely absolve one's self from the strength of democracy will only hinder one's own fate. Like any other judiciary system, there is an end ruling with justifiable reprimanding consequences. Furthermore, at the end of a court hearing there sometimes is a new law that is passed along with the end ruling in order to prevent future implications.

As a country, we can all say it's been quite a year of upheaval. On the contrary, there's been plenty of room for requisition. This is exactly why an impeachment inquiry has been released in the first place. Throughout the impeachment hearings, it has been revealed that the current President of the United States has been dishonest about the taxes from an estate that's self-owned. Exemplifying oneself as the current President of the United States is an obstruction to justice. On the other hand, if the current President of the United States had no reason to be considered guilty of any illegal activity then for the good of the people there should be no need to blockade the governing of this country. Overall, it would be better for everyone involved in the impeachment inquiry if the current President of the United States would face the wrath of uncertainty with diligence and grace regardless of the fate of the ultimate ruling.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
