In March 1983, Reagan introduced the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), a defense project[146] that would have used ground and space-based systems to protect the United States from attack by strategic nuclear ballistic missiles.[147] Reagan believed that this defense shield could make nuclear war impossible,[146][148] but disbelief that the technology could ever work led opponents to dub SDI "Star Wars" and argue that the technological objective was unattainable.[146] The Soviets became concerned about the possible effects SDI would have;[149] leader Yuri Andropov said it would put "the entire world in jeopardy".[150] For those reasons, David Gergen, former aide to President Reagan, believes that in retrospect, SDI hastened the end of the Cold War.[151]



Midway into his second term, Reagan declared more militant policies in the War on Drugs. He said that "drugs were menacing our society" and promised to fight for drug-free schools and workplaces, expanded drug treatment, stronger law enforcement and drug interdiction efforts, and greater public awareness.[163][164]

In 1986, Reagan signed a drug enforcement bill that budgeted $1.7 billion dollars to fund the War on Drugs and specified a mandatory minimum penalty for drug offenses.[165] The bill was criticized for promoting significant racial disparities in the prison population[165] and critics also charged that the policies did little to reduce the availability of drugs on the street, while resulting in a great financial burden for America.[166] Defenders of the effort point to success in reducing rates of adolescent drug use.[167][168] First Lady Nancy Reagan made the War on Drugs her main priority by founding the "Just Say No" drug awareness campaign, which aimed to discourage children and teenagers from engaging in recreational drug use by offering various ways of saying "no". Mrs. Reagan traveled to 65 cities in 33 states, raising awareness about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.[169]


Judiciary
Main articles: Ronald Reagan Supreme Court candidates and Ronald Reagan judicial appointments
During his 1980 campaign, Reagan pledged that, if given the opportunity, he would appoint the first female Supreme Court Justice.[209] That opportunity came in his first year in office when he nominated Sandra Day O'Connor to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Justice Potter Stewart. In his second term, Reagan elevated William Rehnquist to succeed Warren Burger as Chief Justice, and named Antonin Scalia to fill the vacant seat. Reagan nominated conservative jurist Robert Bork to the high court in 1987. Senator Ted Kennedy, a Democrat of Massachusetts, strongly condemned Bork, and great controversy ensued.[210] Bork's nomination was rejected 58-42.[211] Reagan then nominated Douglas Ginsburg, but Ginsburg withdrew his name from consideration after coming under fire for his cannabis use.[212] Anthony Kennedy was eventually confirmed in his place.[213] Along with his three Supreme Court appointments, Reagan appointed 83 judges to the United States Courts of Appeals, and 290 judges to the United States district courts. His total of 376 appointments is the most by any president.

This cartoon appeared as the United States government filed suit against the Occidental Petroleum Corporation for dumping hazardous waste at Love Canal and other sites around Niagara Falls, New York. Pressed by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Justice Department also sued for reimbursement to cover the costs of cleaning up the toxic waste sites and to relocate people whose homes had become contaminated.

before jimmy carter presidentence love canal was used as a chemical disposal site for the militarty. i find this interest because i cant find out a real site that explains what kind of chemical waste was dumpped on this land. the waste dumped on this land caused many difficulties for these people; such as cancer and birth defects. yeah they got some money to relocate but what about the effect on their next genertion of the family members that lived on that land?
i have heard stories about places likee this where some ComPAnY comes and buy land from someone and uses it as a dump!! i just cant belive the government would let something like that happen!
so with the lover canal, in the 1890's this guy named William T. Love bought some land in the Niagara falls area. his goal was to be able to build a "Model City". he was going to recontruct the land into a huge community of wonderful parks and homes along Lake Ontario but he ran out of money. so then at the time Hooker Electochemical Company bought it from him and used it as a dumpsite!
susposly they used all this precautions to dump Gallons of metal and fibre barrels which where filled with there dump. i cant find a website that tells me EXPEXTLY what was dumpped but it wasnt good if it was tested for radion and caused the people who later moved on that land after the company filled the hole that was dug out my Love thats was more than aa mile long had been proven to have an reaction to the land by having cancer and birth deffects.
these people for more than 30 years lived on this land. childern played outside, gardens were grown and eaten in the salads that familes would have at pinics at the parks! and all they are given is a relocation to another home!
and then its says that there was a multi- million dollar clean up. how do you clean something that has festered in the ground for more than 40 years!!!
and what all the water sources near by!
there has to be some effect on them!
im just so frustarted when i hear things like that!
and ive heard a few bad things about Reagan, like you do about most presendents,
exspore of leaking checimal waste; toxic waste.
