Supreme Court Should Rule in Favor of Pregnant Workers
Thomas did a great job using the football player metaphor as an example of how different people should have different workloads/activities. The intended audience for the commentary is people that are interested in women's rights and those who are interested in workloads that people get. His evidence is clear, while pregnant you will not be able to lift and have the same work load as when you are not pregnant. Thomas is being logical, some one can still be productive and be pregnant at the same time, just because she cannot lift heavy items does not mean she will lose productivity. I agree with Thomas, the supreme court should vote in favor of Young which means that women that are pregnant should get more rights!

Obama and Immigration

Obama has taken the correct action using his executive order to grant permits that will benefit more than 4 million undocumented Immigrants. In one speech he accomplished what could not be done by congress in almost 2 years. This also means that a lot of people will be out of the shadows and can do things that they could not normally do. They can go on vacations while still in the United states with out fear of getting pulled over and deported back to their country. This also means a boost in the economy locally and national because of the traveling that will be done by the people who's legal status will change, the immigrants have to pay fees and taxes in order to be able to change their legal status. This also means that people will not be afraid to spend money on things because they will be more secure. Most of these people already have jobs, this means that all the people that say that they will take their jobs are most likely wrong. This will help The United States because it will hold accountable all the immigrants that are felons and they will be sent back to their Nation. This means that the people who will be deported are those who have felonies. Also, the border between Mexico and The United States will be secured to catch most of the individuals who try to cross over to the United States illegally.
