President Obama has nominated a woman for
the Supreme Court. A Hispanic woman.
Which all sounds nice. I am sure there are
a lot of women who are glad to see another
woman, being the one we have in place now
is close to the possible of leaving..
One of the things that bothers me, isn't that
is she liberal or conservative, or a woman or
a man. But the fact that they are saying she
should be a shoo in because the Democrats
will out vote the Republicans on this.
I would hope that both sides would look at this
woman's track record. What have been her
rulings in the past. Not to be voted in on a
party line.
I don't care if the person is male, woman, or
even gay. I don't care if the person is white,
black, or even purple,red,or orange.
I want a person who is fair, and knows the
laws of the land, and can judge if the case in
front of them, is what the law meant.
They are not there to make laws, that is Congress's
job. The Supreme Court's job is to make sure that
law is upheld. To understand that law, and if the case
in front of them are within that law.
So sent up some one understands that, who is fair,
and not judge for the job, not because of gender, or
race. But the one best for the job.

It would be nice if judges were appointed that way but they aren't and haven't been since the beginning of our country. I'm reading a book now on the history of the Sumpreme Court and the selection process has always been a circus.
I know of no way to appoint a judge everyone thinks is fair and qualified. We all have different interpretations of 'fair' and 'qualified.'
The political parties always draw a line in the sand and go at it. It's amazing the court is as good as it is, and believe me it has its flaws.
Very true. However, history shows us that it is almost impossible to predict how a Supreme Court Justice will rule on any specific issue. Many presidents have appointed judges to the high court and been disappointed in their rulings. There are exceptions, of course - Scalia and Thomas - but most of them take seriously the task of interpreting the Constitution.
