As things pile up toward the end of the semester I tend to stop posting items relevant to the class. I don't intend to, but I get overwhelmed. My apologies because a handful of topics related to the class have come and gone, but I'll hit these as appropriate in future semesters.
You are welcomed to continue following the material presented online and I hope you send a shout out from time to time. Introductory classes by their nature are somewhat superficial, but I hope enough has been conveyed to give you an understanding of the governing process on the national and state level; something that gives you some context for figuring out the various events that occur daily.
Thanks, K
