Reading the Judges

The Supreme Court was designed and is designed to be a branch of government untouchable by the whims and corruption of society. The way it operates sets the bar for the rest of the courts in the country. Jeffrey Toobin, as Michael McGough writes, is going after one of the supreme court's members, Justice Clarence Thomas, for not doing his job. Toobin believes that Clarence isn't doing his jobs because he stares at the ceiling during court and dazes off as though he is not paying attention. McGough agrees to some extent with the direction of Toobin's claims. Court should be televised and able to be seen by the public, other than the people who live close enough to witness the Supreme Court in action. So what is being asked here is essentially if the Court should be able to have that much more interaction with the public, to risk the chance that their seats of Justice may be tainted with the wrongs of society? I say yes, I say a big yes to this. The idea of being able to actually know what is happening in our Supreme Court is a basic right, it is the entire point of being able to have the public witness the trial. The Constitution was a document designed to change with the flow of time and so should the other facets around it. The public has a right to know the way the system works in the country and it's about time we get to see what our Justices are really up to.
