Well, I Think We Found Our Supreme Court Justice Today...

Well, I think we found our Supreme Court Justice today. This should be very good news for Republicans, who seem to be in an awful hurry to get this done quickly. It doesn't look like we have to wait any longer.


Let's all take a deep breath and step back for a moment. All crazy partisan politics aside, let's consider the qualities a good justice should have.


A good justice should be objective and fair-minded, not guided by strong preconceived opinions.

A good justice should be empathetic, not focused on oneself.

A good justice should be calm, not angry.



A good justice should show grace und[/diver pressure, not be easily rattled.

A good justice should be even-tempered, not short-tempered.

A good justice should be thoughtful, not strident.

A good justice should in the face of adversity show courage, not petulance.

investigated by the FBI for 3 months minimum.
It does not matter how many background checks were done previously. Justice is a lifetime position and 3 months investigation by 100 FBI agents is necessary.

unqualified. Doesn't a Supreme court judge have to know something about the law and the Constitution? Obama would make an excellent Supreme Court Justice.
