   Objective(s):
       --  Explain how to change an outcome at the Supreme Court
       --  Describe a "faithless elector"

   Activities:
       --  Take notes on changing an outcome at the Supreme Court
       --  Discuss and define a faithless elector

   Independent Learning:
       --  None

   Notes/Handouts/Material covered in class:
       --  Two ways to change a decision of the Supreme Court:
              A.  Since decisions are based on the Constitution, if you want to change the results of a case, change (amend) the Constitution.  (Ex:  flag-burning case)  
             B.  The Supreme Court is made up of 9 members appointed by the President and approved by the Senate.  If you want a decision of the Supreme Court to be different, bring up a similar case again when members of the Supreme Court are different.  [Supreme Court members cannot be removed from the court unless they do something really bad.  When they do leave, the current president gets to replace them, and whomever s/he picks will be there a long time.  It is a very powerful job of the president, and comes into play with a presidential election.]

     --  Faithless elector:  Someone who has pledged to vote for a particular candidate for president at the Electoral College but then doesn't.  
            A.  There have been 8 known cases of faithless electors from 1900 - 2012.
            B.  Arizona is one of 20 states that do not have laws requiring an elector to vote as promised.  Other states impose a fine, imprisonment, or cancel their vote and replace them.
