"Freedom and justice can not be parceled out in pieces to
suit political convenience. I don't believe you can stand for
freedom for one group of people and deny it to others."
-Coretta Scott King
President Biden has pledged to nominate a black woman to fill
the soon-to-be vacated seat of Justice Stephen Breyer who recently
announced his retirement from the Supreme Court.
As no one can predict this future event, it is my sincerest hope that
whoever this person is, she will be intelligent enough to see through Biden's
pathetic political pandering in regards to her race, and choose to serve the
American people with decisions based on true equality and justice for all.
Let her not be swayed by politics, nor choose to misuse the power
delegated to her by relying on her own personal interpretation
of the law, such as in the case of Obama-appointed Justice
Sonia Sotomayor, who once intimated that her sagacity
as a "wise Latina woman" should suffice in her opinions
or in decisions handed down by the Supreme Court.
The role of a Supreme Court Justice is to interpret and apply
the law as it is written, not to re-write it to reflect party influence
or personal preferences as we have seen in recent years.
The future of our nation in remaining a free Constitutional Republic
depends not only on public servants who understand the role of
the government in the lives of the people, and the application of the law,
but whose personal adherence to uncompromising integrity, while
serving on the bench, in Congress, or in the White House, speaks for itself.
