Blind Justice Season

Canaan a mysterious gunfighter left nearly blind from Civil War combat roams through Mexico with a baby he has sworn to protect. On his way to a town where a family will supposedly adopt the baby Canaan passes through a border town where U.S. Cavalry officers assigned to deliver a shipment of silver are under attack from bandits. With some reluctance Canaan steps in to help the soldiers.
This summer will be very interesting. General Motors has a new president who says he doesn’t know anything about making cars. Barack Obama wants the government to decide how much executives should be paid. The president’s crazy-uncle pastor, Jeremiah Wright, is claiming the Jews are keeping him from meeting with the president.
Mr. Obama is proposing cuts in Medicare reimbursement, a system that already doesn’t pay its fair share, and the Democrats are trying to nationalize health care. North Korea’s Dear Leader is working overtime to develop nuclear weapons and a rocket to deliver them. Iran’s election has created violence in the streets.
Of all these, the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court deserves very careful study.
The justice system of the United States operates under the theory that the law should be viewed objectively with the determination of innocence, guilt, liability or whatever made without bias or prejudice: blind justice, symbolized by the blindfolded statue of Lady Justice. It is the idea behind the United States Supreme Court motto “Equal Justice Under Law,” which is the symbol of the judiciary.
Judge Sonia Sotomayor is President Obama’s first nominee for the United States Supreme Court. She has been on the federal Circuit Court bench for a long time, and much has been made of the fact that if confirmed she will be the first Hispanic to serve on the nation’s highest court. Administration officials and supporters say Judge Sotomayor would bring more judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice confirmed in the past 70 years.
However, some colleagues and law clerks who have worked with her have reservations about her, raising questions about her temperament, judicial craftsmanship, and her intellectual ability, issues which should not be ignored. But the far more serious questions arise over whether she can fairly and dispassionately apply Blind Justice Season dvd boxset .
Judge Sotomayor has said publicly and openly that factors other than legal ones should enter into the judicial process, indicating that she will remove the blindfold from Lady Justice and substitute her own personal biased views for the neutral consideration of the law. Blind Justice dvd is not acceptable.
