Courts play a crucial role in the lives of everyday Americans. They help to interpret constitutions and laws of the land.

Nomination of the federal judges comes from the president and these judges will be in office for a lifetime. Furthermore, I don’t think its right; I personally believe they should highest do a four year term and go through the election process instead of being nominated by the president. The reasoning behind this is that a president can sign in a family member or personal friend not equipped for the job but the election process rules fair ground for the right candidate.

The branches of government are mean to be independent and have to have a clause to stop one another not giving too much power to any branch of government per say. If this were to go through, sectors of the government could collaborate together and run the country however they please not taking into account a major department. Causing secrecy, chaos and bad intentions from our political leaders and giving them the bad mindset to join up with other sectors for their own goals.

Supreme Court judges take an oath to serve the country in the best way they possibly can, and after being on the court so many years while having this lifetime sentence their mindset becomes another judge shouldn’t take their place. Not in an arrogant or conceited way just for the fact that they don’t think someone would do the job better than themselves with so much experience. For example, the only female Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who was appointed in 1993 by President Clinton is 81 years old still making detrimental decisions for our country. Though at her age she is still in her right mind and knows what decisions need to be made but someone of that stature should have been retired years ago when it comes to major resolutions of the United States. With these judges staying in office for life doesn’t give young attorneys a chance to have their shot at being a supreme court and naturally lowers their mindset of hwo good they can be.

In hindsight, judges sworn in by the president should be given a specific term of office they would be in the Supreme Court. The judges should also be elected by our political parties just like the president giving our court system the voice of the people not just the opinion of the president. These judges make some of the most important decisions in the country and we should definitely have trust in those who we elected and know that when their term is up we can bring in new voices which we see fit.
