What is judicial review? explain its orgins and significance?

Judicial review is the power of the judiciary branch to rule on whether laws are constitutional. This power was not given to the court in the Constitution, but rather came about as the result of the ruling in the case Marbury v. Madison. It is significant because it is one of the checks that the judiciary branch has to balance the other two branches of government. It's also what makes the judiciary important in the first place. Without judiciary review, the courts would mean nothing.

What can I get my niece's husband for his birthday? He's in his mid 30's....?

Depending on how much you are willing to spend, you could get him a watch (even a Harley watch!) for anywhere from $50 to $200. Or perhaps a GPS (under $100 to $400 or so) for his motorcycle, people who ride motorcycles usually like to go for long rides and try new paths, therefore getting lost is often part of the adventure.

Packers and the 2010-11 schedule?

The Packers will face only three teams outside of their division with a losing record. The Packers have the potential to be a MUCH better team by next year, especially if Ted Thompson's draft picks are as strong as they were this last season. That being said, tell me what their record will be this season, and then tell me how far they make it into the playoffs.
