What A Clinton Supreme Court Would Mean For America
The article's main point is how bad it would be for our country if Hillary Clinton gets elected president; with an emphasis on the impact of the Supreme Court. It discusses how Clinton will appoint a liberal to the currently open seat, and she will possibly have an opportunity to appoint a second liberal judge in her first term. The article also includes six cases that would would be decided differently or overturned with a liberal Supreme Court. The article ends with a plea from the writer to keep Clinton out of the White House in order to ensure the “future of this country”.
This article addresses one of the biggest factors in deciding who to vote for in this election: who do you want appointing judges to the Supreme Court. While I do not agree with the writer's position, I do think this is a major issue. The Supreme Court makes many decisions that matter to everyday Americans, and people should be thinking about who they want appointing people to this court, and what the candidates will try and get passed by the Supreme Court. All of this ties into what Lippman said about citizens being “unprepared to play the the role democracy assigns them.” Whoever wins this election will have a major impact on decisions made in this country for the next 20 years. So why are people not more interested? Why do people just ignore the election because it might not apply to them?
I feel a lot of people are just not informed enough to want to care about the elections. People are lazy and don't want to dive into all the details they would need to know to be informed and interested in these elections. Now these are not all people, a good percentage of Americans care about the elections, but those who don't are to lazy to try and understand the issues.
