Go to the link above to sign up for the DSCC's petition to gain input for Democrats with regard to a Supreme Court nominee.
I could write to my Senators and Congressman on a daily basis and not repeat an issue for months because there are so many important issues that they need to be addressing. Sometimes I carefully do not write for a few weeks because I don't want their interns to take view my emails as just another email from crazy lady who writes everyday.
But who is the nominated to the Supreme Court is a very big deal. So I wrote again. And I am signing this petition with the DSCC.
I keep reading that Roe vs. Wade will not be overturned with a new justice or two. But those people could be wrong and that scares the hell out of me. There are many issues that the judges need to focus on decisions that reflect our national law and not their personal values. I am very afraid that if the Republicans had there way that they would choose a bunch of justices that would reinforce their fanatically conservative values.
The Republicans already have the power in the White House and Congress. Our third branch of government is seriously at risk. I believe whole-heartedly in the checks and balances that our founders created. This will not work if the Republicans are in control everywhere. The Supreme Court needs people who are going to make every attempt to keep their ideology out of their decisions. This may be impossible. I would simple prefer that they focus on the law itself as objectively as possible.
