The Republican dominated Senate voted in their Nomination of Amy Coney Barrett of Indiana to be yet another in a series of Republican dominated Senate Associate Justices of the United States Supreme Court. Well, United States used to mean a united representation of Democrats and Republicans hired to our Supreme Court for a balance of opinions there too. Not any more. Politics have taken over Justice.
She is a Constitutional Law Scholar. Was appointed to the Circuit Court just three years ago by Trump and most jarring is the fact that she HAS NEVER ARGUED A CASE BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT EVER IN HER CAREER AND WITH THIS LACK OF ANY EXPERIENCE THE REPUBLICANS THINK SHE IS PERFECT FOR A LIFETIME APPOINTMENT TO BE ON OUR HIGHEST COURT. IT IS A SAD DAY FOR AMERICA.
It is also particularly odd that she was on the White House grounds with President Trump where she as an independent member of the highest court is now seen with a Impeached President just days before a election where he is seeking support from everywhere amid all his scandals and failures during his Administration.
We all know that the Republicans have been packing the Supreme Court for decades. Trump hired well over 200 judges to the lower courts and just put three justices of his choosing to the Supreme Court. Where is the balance of power? There isn't any. The Democrats need to do the unpacking of the Supreme Court so there is a balance in judgement. Right now the Supreme Court does NOT represent the values of America. Now it reflects a minority, a one sided representation of the values of Americas. Our Supreme Court should represent the balance of justice with one swing vote. The scales of justice represent that with lady liberty holding the balance up. She wears a blind fold so she will not be swayed in her unbiased un seeing view.
So if the unpacking of the court means to include 13 Justices, so be it and it will be the same reflection as we have in the Federal Appeals Courts.
