As much as anything, the ongoing dispute over President Obama's Supreme Court nominee should serve us notice as to how divided our nation has become. Before a person is even selected, he or she is opposed? Now, mind you, court nominees don't wear party colors.
Officially.
But, we know which are the conservatives and the liberals. I wonder at that. All you are ruling on is what the Constitution says on a matter. Shouldn't that be simply a matter of reading the Constitution, not a matter of reading conservative or liberal into it?
And, now to swear that you are going to oppose a nominee before he or she has even been named, simply because it is a Democrat who is naming the person?
If we do not see something wrong with such partisanship, if we cannot see this is not good, what will it ever take?
Courts should be about justice, not about politics. Judges should be guided by a desire to be fair and unbiased and right and true, alone. They should not be wearing glasses tinted to be conservative or liberal.
