What I think about the Supreme Court

I feel that the supreme courts should have balance in them. The Supreme Court makes major decisions that effect the life’s of billions of people every day because of that there should be many points of view for so everyone has an equal chance to be represented. America is view as the worlds melting which means that we have a little bit of every culture, race, and belief living in our country. With only nine seats available on the Supreme Court I know it is impossible to represent everyone of those people fairly. We can make the Supreme Court appointed judges have of all different backgrounds. The norm for the Supreme Court judge use to be older white male. Slowly this is changing we are seeing African Americans and Hispanic males and female appointed judges. I believe the more ethnicities we have sitting on the Supreme Court the better they can represent America and make a real decision that represents our people. As well as sexes on the bench there should be five women and four men just due to the fact that there are more women than men in America. Someone might say that with so many differences and points of views how would the judges on the court ever agree on anything? The answer would be they would not always have to agree you don’t have to always agree with someone to respect their opinion. They would also agree on law and what the basic principles of right and wrong are. They would bring their backgrounds, beliefs, and culture with them. As I said before that is what America is a melting pot of all those things and to have a every judge on the Supreme Court with a different one of them would bring a refreshing look and feel to the American Supreme court system.
