About Me!

 Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Emily Rousseau and I am technically from a tiny town in northern Connecticut known as Enfield. However, I have moved around many times throughout my life and grew up in a number of places such as Cape Cod, MA and most recently Charlotte, NC. I am currently a senior at HPU majoring in Psychology and minoring in Statistics. I transferred from NC State to HPU a few semesters ago and since arriving at HPU my focus has been in bio/neuropsychology and gaining research experience to boost my graduate school applications for further education. Although I am a senior, I am not totally set on what and where I would like to go with my studies after HPU. I would like to pursue my Masters in Communications and Business Leadership while I work as a research assistant for my professor and ultimately determine what direction I would like to take my career in. Outside of school I work full-time as a waitress. However, when I am not working I always make time to go for a run and meditate daily. Additionally, the beach is truly my happy place and I make time to take a trip out there any chance I get. I specifically enjoy the beaches down in Florida along the gulf coast such as Indian Rocks Beach and Siesta Key. Of course, when you're at the beach you have to get seafood and I would say that Salmon picatta is probably my favorite meal when I'm by the shore. Otherwise, I love anything with avocados!

Through a number of supreme court cases between 1919, starting with the Quartet of antiwar protestors, to 1931 when the Near rule was created, a clearer line was drawn regarding what is and is not protected by the First Amendment. According to Holmes in 1919, a variety of opinions and ideas is beneficial as it creates a marketplace of ideas in which the people have the freedom to pick the "best" one or the one that most closely aligns with their viewpoints. Additionally, the Near V. Minnesota case determined that to ban a publication would be a Prior Restraint and is seen as unconstitutional. Due to this, the authors published on both of these websites have the freedom to express their views no matter how far they may dissent from the common perspective or popular idea of the time. In the same way, news sources have the right to pick and choose what they decide to report on and ultimately, convey to the public. Unfortunately, the journalism and press industry is one of cut t...

The U.S. Supreme Court Reflection

       Before watching this video, I did not know much about the supreme court at all- especially how much impact the supreme court decisions have within our country. I found it incredibly interesting that since the start of our country there have only been a little over 100 justices that each may serve on the supreme court for decades. However, the most surprising thing I learned was that they receive approximately 7000 new cases in a single year but only approximately 100 get chosen for review. Additionally, each case may take months to complete an official opinion on, with revisions happening the entire time and sometimes even complete changes of opinion when majority turns into minority. This fact helped change the way I viewed the supreme court, as I had no idea how much work they truly had to put into each case- likely influencing how many cases they choose to review and which ones they deem as a real national issue. I used to think of the supreme court as a se...
