What do I think about the Supreme Court?

What do I think About the Supreme Court?
The Supreme Court is made up of 9 judges that have been appointed by the President of the United States of America. All in all, they are regular people like you and me but obviously have some serious responsibilities regarding how this country functions. Each individual spent some time attending the most prestigious laws schools in the country and abroad. I believe that all of the Chief Justices earned their stripes in becoming a judge in the Supreme Court. I don’t necessarily agree with each and every decision that they make, but without any law in this country there would be chaos. The other factor that might tarnish ones view of the Supreme Court is the great power of influence. There are powerful people who would like to see their agenda carried out in this country. That has taken place in the last election when the Court decided to award 25 electoral votes from the state of Florida; you can only wonder who was the puppet on the strings to allow such a decision to be carried out. It’s a sad thing when this country starts to doubt our voting process and what that means that there is some big trouble brewing and may cause a major melt down in the system. In some sense, it seems like there is a good old boy attitude within the Supreme Court. Justices possibly get appointed because of acquaintance, knowing that individual will vote on an issue according to make a certain minority happy. I can tell you that one good thing that was good to see happen is that at least there is a little diversity in the Supreme Court in our present time. We do have an afro-American, and two Hispanics one being a woman. I believe that this shows a sign that this country is progressing.
