Much ado about the economy has saturated much of the presidential race.  While I in no way believe that this is not an important issue, there are other issues to consider as well.  A president is elected for a term of four years.  During those four years he will undoubtedly implement his views of what will best serve the public policies of our great nation.  However, these policies are generally good, for the most part, until the next election.  No matter who gets elected, during the next campaign you will most certainly hear the same rhetoric.

However, one very important matter to consider is that our next president will likely have the power to appoint several Supreme Court Justices.  These Justices have the power to change our nation for decades or even centuries to come.  The economy of this great country has gone up and down, and it will continue to do so no matter who occupies the presidency.  But according to our great Constitution, the Supreme Court (more appropriately, at least 5 Justices on the Court) determines the Supreme Law of the Land!  This is GREAT power!

When you go to cast your vote this November remember this; the economy is not the only issue.  In my humble opinion, it is not even the primary issue.  A lifetime appointment with the ability to shape the supreme laws of a nation is no small matter.  This issue is by no means lost on the candidates, and lawyers and law students alike should be weighing this issue heavily.

When you cast your vote think this – What kind of America do I want for my grandchildren?  Your vote could very well determine the answer to that question.  God bless and have a great day.

P.S. I am not endorsing one candidate over another as each have different qualities.  Rather, I am inviting you to think about a very important issue that could very well shape the face of this Nation for generations to come.
