Dreams

The debate over whether or not John Roberts should become a Supreme Court Justice continues, although it’s now reported on the second or third page of the newspapers. There are lots of questions being asked of him, but none address his core competency. The man has no practical experience in law or dealing with people. He will probably join the court, where only one of the Justices has ever tried a criminal case. And the rest have spent their entire careers reading the law and never having to deal with the people that make up this nation. And you wonder why the Supreme Court makes odd decisions? It’s time for us to have a real life Justice, one who’s not a lawyer, or if a lawyer…one who practiced law, not read it. Conservative or liberal labels aren’t near as important as competency. Ah, but I’m dreaming aren’t I?
