Anyway, I am looking for a topic for my "note", and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I was thinking about writing something about election law (Bush v. Gore, Lautenberg, 9th Circuit recall decision, etc.) and the recent intrusion of the judiciary into the political branches of government.

You will have to have to forgive me as I not sure as to what a “note” is in this context

I'm assuming its a paper on a historical point of law I’m not so sure how current it needs to be but if you want to get in intrusion of the judiciary into the political branches of government..

Let me suggest you start with this link

I'ts Lincoln's Cooper Union Address of 1860

It’s a classic slam on judiciary activism and intrusion into the political branches of government and strong support of original intent of the law

Thanks for the link to Lincoln's Cooper Union Address of 1860 -- after 143 years so little has changed.

BTW, the entire website Abraham Lincoln Online is very informative.
