We live in a time when the Constitution is at Stake.

We as a nation should be concerned with the preservation of that Great document. A document that has made us so great a nation and so great a blessing to the entire world. Our personal differences, what ever they may be (race, gender, religious beliefs etc), should NOT be the criteria of choosing a Supreme Court Judge. But rather, That judge should be appointed and allowed to stay in office based on his or her dedication to to uphold the Values of “The Constitution of The United States of America.”

The Constitution is at risk. Will Sonya Sotomayor uphold it as it is written? Or, will the Supreme Court continue to wield power they, in fact, DO NOT HAVE! This is not “good behaviour”(see “The Constitution of the United States of America, Article III, Section 1). This is, in fact, UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Our liberty is at stake. Will she take it from us if elected or appointed?
