The Constitution, The News, & You

1) The article I read was about how Judicial Watch, a public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, is uncovering FDA records that tell of how the vaccination Gardasil has led to 16 deaths in the past year.
          "To say Gardasil has a suspect safety record is a big understatement. These reports are troubling and show that the FDA and other public health authorities may be asleep at the switch..."

2) This article relates to the Constitution because the group Judicial Watch, looks into government corruption, such as things that may be unconstitutional, and prosecute them. As such, they are investigating the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), which is part of the federal government, as stated in the Constitution.

3) This article interested me because it was about a group that looked for corruption within the government, and seeks out things that may be unconstitutional and try to right them. As the name - Judicial Watch - shows, this is somewhat similar to the Judicial branch of government, in that the Judicial branch has the right to overturn laws that are deemed unconstitutional.
