Supreme Court Vacancy

Hi

Today I am adding my opinion concerning the recent discussion about nominees to the United States Supreme Court.

We in the United States live in a Constitutional Republic, which means that we are governed by a central constitution and elected officials. The elected officials cannot do anything which is contrary to the terms of our constitution, only the people can change that.

Now to apply this theory to modern politics. Today we have elected people who feel that the constitution is elastic and changes with the times. This can not be further from the truth. I always cite an example, every day when you get up and go about your daiy life you are in effect ratifying our constitution. If you didn't like the law you would do something to change it. Hence we the people are not to quick to make amendments, we like the law the way it is written.

When the elected officials use the court to make law from the bench we do not have any say in the matter. The federal judges are appointed for life and they are not elected. Why should they have the power to make law without any recourse on the part of the people? People power is what we need.

The current nominee has stated her view that a "Latina woman" is better to feel the temperament of the case and can decide based on her life experiences. My question is simply."What about the written law, the one we ratify everyday by our actions? Shouldn't the written law overrule personal feelings?" We need judges who rule on the law, not some idea of what the judge sees fit. Let the congress make federal law, not judges.

Stay tuned in, more to come.

Meanwhile pray for our service people.
GOD Bless
