This guy sounds nice enough, but he was a lawyer and a judge. Both of which, I do not believe in. There is only one true judge. Bet you think I'm going to say God. Wrong, the judge is your concience. In most cases, it's just common sense. For instance, don't steal, don't kill, don't cheat, try to get along with everyone you can, etc. It's pretty basic. The reason I don't believe in them, is Roe vs. Wade. Basically, you can do anything, even put to death an innocent in the name of law. Every man has a right to trial by a jury of his peers. I know they say that a fetus is not a person until it is born, but it is attached to a person that has reason and understanding. There is a lot of people that would disagree, but this arguement wasn't meant to be lost or won. It was meant to be convenient.

Population grew so much that the Court can't fairly represent so many people. FDR rightly tried to make the Court bigger. It remains determined to protect & extend unconstitutional privileges of corporations & extremely wealthy individuals. FDR tried to help us enjoy a more socialistic system, like using taxes to create jobs..surely one of Americans' most important needs. Instead, Congress let Robber Barons buy everything they needed to create and run what are called "public utility companies" where we must pay a profit on our use of natural gas, electricity, fuel, gasoline, etc. In socialist nations, the people take back public ownership of forests, water sources & all natural resources. Until l973, the court let civil government enforce church law banning abortion. Roe v Wade put a stop to that destruction of separation of church law from civil law. But the violation lasted so long that vast numbers of Americans were forced into compulsory parenthood. Their numbers drove down wages. The vast welfare system still drains public treasuries to subsidize people who refuse to use abortion for fear of "going to Hell." The Court should have more women, too.
