The court cannot U U 1 /U /Uits legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law when justices behave like politicians.
30、 Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that U U 2 /U /Uthe courts reputation for being independent and impartial.Justice Antonin Scalia, for example, appeared at political events. That kind of activity makes it less likely that the courts decisions “will be U U 3 /U /Uas impartial judgme

At the very least, the court should make itself U U 5 /U /Uto the code of conduct that applies to the rest of the federal judiciary.This and other similar cases raise the question of whether there is still a line bet

37、er. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Is Higher Education a Bubble?A My colleague at Democracy in America draws attention to an ongoing debate over the nature of higher education and, in particular, steady increases in the cost of getting one. The question of
38、 the hour is: Is higher education a bubble?B Consider:“If you can only afford to go to a state university, dont worry about it too much.“ Except this: Kevin Drum went to a state university that does not exist anymore. When he graduated from Cal State Long Beach in 1981, he paid $160 in fees. If he g
39、raduated from the same institution today, the tuition he would have paid for this year would be $4,335. They officially call it “tuition“ now, because its not meant to be a nominal “fee“ anymore. Its simply the price you pay for your education, as a customer, and next year it will be higher, a lot h
40、igher. Unless the direction of things change soon, it will be $6,450. And the year after that? It will be even higher. Fees/Tuition in the Cal State system have risen significantly every year since when Kevin Drum went there, and they have risen by around 400% since 2002. Given the complete intransi
41、gence (不妥协) of California republicans, tuition will most likely rise by another 32% next year.C And:A diploma is an investment with many different forms. It is a guarantor of higher lifetime earnings: The “college wage premium“ for highly educated workers is in the tens of thousands of dollars per y
42、ear. It is also an insurance policy against unemployment, a signaling device to employers and peers, a prestige line for your resume or New York Times wedding announcement, and a place to make friends and connections. Most importantly, it is a way to learn new skills and information.D It could be th
43、at Thiel is right, that college students, en masse (全体), are overpaying for their educations. But it seems more likely that some college students attending certain types of schools are overpaying. If you want to be an aerospace engineer and have the chops to get into Caltech, the quality of the educ
44、ation, contacts, and fellow students on offer might really be worth $200,000 to you. A diploma from the school practically guarantees a good salary.E Its much harder to talk about a bubble in education than it was one in housing. In housing, there was a clear metric: prices, in absolute terms and as
45、 a ratio of just about everything, were soaring. And there was a clear debate: are these increases justified by some real economic shift or are they a bubble associated with new mortgage products and loose credit? In higher education, the questions are much more difficult.F For one thing, its hard t
46、o agree on what price should be the focus. Advertised topline tuition? Few people pay that. Average tuition paid? Average student loan debt? Is the bubble in higher education present at all universities, or just top universities, or just for-profit universities? And how is whatever rising price that is the focus connected to changes in the benefits of a higher education? Indeed, what are those benefits?G The ultimate benefit seems to be a substantial wa
