The book of Judges is one of the most profound stories in the Bible. The chapters in this book consists of so many interesting topics such as riddles, jokes, poems, and even some narrative history.

These people came and ruined crops, homes, livestock, and so much more. Their homeland was being destroyed by people who did not care and had nobody to turn to, to save them but God himself. This is when God send Gideon who was an already proven soldier. There were several battles Gideon had to go through. However, Gideon reduced the army while keeping God in mind, “twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained” (Judges 7:3) because they were to scared to battle and God let them walk away.. He continued to do this until his army had just over 300 men. This judge had become notorious and one of the greats after he took over and won Israel back. He got rid of all enemies, restored the faith and God’s grace to the people, and he even declined when the people said they wanted him as their king saying “I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The Lord will rule over you” (Judges 8:23). He was truly all for God and wanted it to remain that way. No matter the odds, if people remain with the Lord, they will always be on the winning side and this is something Gideon had proven after each battle, time and time

What does the judicial system do for those of us who aren't immediate victims? Why do we as a society need the court system? Is it only for black and white justice, or have we placed more importance then that on the righteousness of the gavel? In the modern United States there is a belief that the courts not only judge guilt, but at the highest level, act as a national conscience and affecting society before society realizes it should be changing... But is this the case?
Hello diary. I address you today with confusion and apprehension, with consternation and disappointment, disappointment in a country that I fear has let me down. I write to you asking for help, guidance, and strength. I write to you regarding the President’s nomination for Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, hoping the words I write breed clarity and confidence in my future actions.

Federal Judges and Supreme Court Justices The process for electing a federal judge is both a simple, yet complicated one. A number of things take place between the need for a nominee and the appointment to a position. The basis for the nomination and appointment of federal judges and Supreme Court Justices is the Appointments Clause (Article II, Section 2, Clause 2) of the United States Constitution: “The President...shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law....” First a vacancy must be present at which time the President can make a nomination.

The three levels within the federal courts are: the U.S. Magistrate Courts, the U.S. District Courts, the U.S. Courts of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

The United States Constitution spells out how federal judges are selected and leaves it up to the individual states to establish their means for selecting judges. In federal courts, judges are appointed and it varies between appointment and election for state courts. The purpose of this paper is to examine the differences between appointments and elections (as well as the multiple types of elections) and to give an opinion as to which is the better alternative. Federal judges are appointed by the President of the United States and are confirmed on the advice and consent of the United States Senate.
