Recently I've had a revelation, if I had no constraints, no financial limits and could have my dream job, I would want to be a Supreme Court Justice. Yes, a member of the Supreme Court of the United States.
In my opinion, a Supreme Court Justice is one, if not the most powerful position in America. The president has always been regarded as the highest position but I think that his power is temporary while justices makes decisions that stay permanent. Presidential policies and laws may be overturned and changed by the next president. However, judicial judgements are very hard, nearly impossible, to overturn. The SCOTUS is the ultimate deciding factor, there is no where to appeal to once they've made a decision.
Roe v. Wade was a huge decision with effects that have affected and will continue to forever effect thousands and thousands of lives. Innocent lives have been lost due to the decision of 7 very powerful people. In America, 4,000 babies are aborted every day. Regardless of what you think about Roe v. Wade or Abortion, the fact that a few people could decide the fate of thousands of lives clearly says that Justices have a very large amount of power.
I believe that the Constitution needs to be protected and defended and thus I would be beyond honored to continue to preserve this precious, symbolic document. Yes it is an old document, written in an age with no technology and modernization yet we need to hold those truths. 4543 words have given millions of US citizens the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness since the creation of the Constitution in 1787 and as long as we uphold the original intention of the Framers, we will continue to enjoy the liberties so preciously given over 200 years ago.
