About this Quote

This quote by Bennie Thompson speaks with the significance of having a Supreme Court Justice who is both qualified and objective. The nominee needs to have a record of protecting individual rights, and need to be able to translate the law relatively and without bias. They need to likewise have the wisdom to make decisions that are not affected by any political agenda. This is vital for the Supreme Court to remain an independent body that has the ability to make decisions based on the law, rather than on any political or personal agenda. It is necessary that the next Supreme Court Justice is someone who is certified and neutral, and who has the ability to make choices that are reasonable and simply.
