EOC - Week 10 - What do I think about the Supreme Court?

I think the Supreme Court is a necessary both only if the right people are in it. Who is it that determines who is right for the job? Should the United States of America allow someone who is highly religious views take a seat in the Supreme Court? Since the United States of America is suppose to have a separation between religion and state, why do we have laws that benefit people who marry when marriage in the old days was done for business benefits and the only reason they had a priest attend it is wish the married couple good luck in the name of god on the endeavors. So it brings up the question about the people being appointed to chief justice because they are perfect for the job or because Mr. President wants someone in his favor? Does the public are well aware of the cases that are brought on to the Supreme Court? The supreme court seems a little bit iffy when you got 9 old dudes (and dudettes) debating with each other about matters like what kind of legal grounds does pornography has.

However for the most part, it removes deciding power from the president so not one person has all the power and having nice chief justices should give variety of ideas and opinions which represent the people or at least majority of the public.

I wonder if there will be a period in the future where we would not need a supreme court. Imagine how that’ll be? Does the president have all of the deciding power? Or we are going to live in a stateless environment where people actually get along with each other and help one another. We can only hope people would live peaceful with each other! That is for sure.
