1st Day at Youth Leg

Bad weather turned our 3 hour trip to Montgomery into a 5 hour one, but we finally arrived safely. Shortly after arrival, we made the Government Club's first trip to an Emergency Room, with Elijah's freshly broken finger/hand.

But Friday was an exciting day anyway. The Attorney Generals have found almost 20 "unconstitutional" bills to bring before the Supreme Court tomorrow, mostly dealing with free speech, search and seizure, and cruel and unusual punishment issues. The Supreme Court anxiously awaits hearing from the bills' authors, including Joel and Jacob.

Our 5 first year students enjoyed their first day of debate -- including passing Elijah, Jacob, and Aaron's bills.

Joel was disappointed that his House bill to force change to electric cars was shut down, while Alex was pleasantly surprised that her Senate bill to force schools to teach Creation in addition to Evolution garnered as much support as it did.

The day is winding down to the first game of the trip, Apples to Apples.
