If justice is blind, Why does the ideological leaning of Supreme Court justices matter?

Good question! The only ideological leaning of a Supreme Court justice that matters is whether he respects the laws above his own feelings and opinions. The reason that people are concerned about the leanings of Supreme Court justices in America is that many justices do not respect the laws and "legislate from the bench."

It is not the job or the place of a court justice or judge to rule on how he thinks the law should be written. He must judge based on the existing laws. If he deems a law conflicts with an existing law, he can determine that the new law violates the previous or higher law, but nothing is to be decided based on how he wishes the laws read.

Therefore, if justices and judges respect the law, then we should pick only the most knowledgeable and experienced judges we can, regardless of race, creed, or economic status.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
