Different backgrounds in supreme Court

To be honest, at first I thought the supreme court judges were assigned specific cases to handle on their own but after learning from this certain bearded man I know that it is a collective and confusing/unique judging process where each supreme court justice plays a role in each case, my outlook became entirely different.  I think it is good to have judges with entirely different backgrounds so hopefully each angle of a case can be better seen and understood.  If all of the judges were exactly the same we wouldn't need a group of them to all express the same decision and opinion on matters and cases.  Lets go diversity in the Judicial Branch!

  1. I agree and it seems that it is becoming more diverse. The more perspectives on a case the more fairness it will be judged with. I also didn't know each judge played a role in the case. Hopefully we can find a way to make it even more diverse but the lifetime appointment thing means a very slow changing of the guard, per se.

  2. yes I agree, the more diverse the perspectives are the more fair the decision in the end will be, each person needs to argue their points inorder to reach the best possible judgment.
