FROM THE PASTOR
Should It Matter to Us Who Is On the Supreme Court? The Supreme Court has the final judicial say on
whether a law is in conformity with the U. S.
Constitution. This means the court the power to
overrule all lower courts. When the Supreme
Court makes a bad decision, the consequences
can be felt by millions of people for many years.
For example:
1. Dred Scott vs. Sandford (1857):The court ruled that “persons of African descent” could not
become citizens of the United States. This decision declared it was unconstitutional for Congress to
free slaves in federal territories. But instead of settling the controversy over slavery, this decision
helped lead to the Civil War.
2. Plessy vs. Ferguson (1896): The court ruled that it was constitutional to have racially
segregated public facilities, including schools, as long as those facilities were “equal in quality.”
This led to an increase in racial segregation for at least 58 years, when a later Supreme Court ruled
against racial segregation in schools.
3. Roe vs. Wade (1973): The court ruled that existing legal protections for prenatal babies (all 50
states had some restrictions on abortion prior to this decision) went against the U. S. Constitution.
The court claimed that the “right to abortion” was found in the “right to privacy.” Does the
Constitution even mention a “right to privacy”? No, but a previous Supreme Court Justice claimed
that right was found in the “penumbras” and “emanations’ of the Constitution! Roe vs. Wade has
resulted in the violence of the deliberate killing of millions of prenatal human beings.
4. Obergefell v. Hodges (2015): The court overturned centuries of tradition by declaring that the
right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples. This ruling, which in effect dramatically changed
the meaning of marriage for everyone, required all 50 states to permit same-sex “marriages.”
This decision will certainly have serious consequences, especially for children, who very much
benefit from having both a mother and a father.
As these cases indicate, the decisions of the U. S.
Supreme Court can have very serious
consequences for all of us. Those decisions can
cause much good or much harm to individuals and to
our society. So it is very important who is on the
U. S. Supreme Court. Let us pray that a truly just
person will be confirmed by the Senate to replace
the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.

It helps you uncover the story woven throughout Scripture so that you can get the “big picture” of the Bible and understand what it is all about. The
Bible is a story about the Father’s unfailing love for you - a love that you are now called to share with
others.

¿Deberá Importarnos Quien Está en la Suprema Corte? La Suprema Corte tiene la última palabra judicial para determinar si la ley esta en conformidad con la Constitución de los EE. UU. Esto significa que la corte tiene el poder de anular a todas las cortes menores. Cuando la Suprema Corte toma una mala decisión, las consecuencias afectan a millones de personas por muchos años. Por ejemplo:
1) Dred Scott vs. Sandford (1857): La corte decidió que una persona de descendencia de África no puede convertirse en ciudadano de los Estados Unidos. Esta decisión declaro que era inconstitucional que el Congreso liberara a esclavos en territorios federales. Pero en lugar de asentar la controversia sobre esclavitud, esta decisión llevo a la Guerra Civil. 2) Plessy vs. Ferguson (1896): La corte decidió que era constitucional tener facilidades publicas segregadas racialmente, incluyendo escuelas, mientras fueran igual en calidad. Esto llevo a incrementar la segregación racial a por lo menos 58 años, hasta que la Suprema Corte decidió contra la segregación racial en las escuelas. 3) Roe vs. Wade (1973): La corte decidió que las protecciones legales existentes para bebés prenatales (todos los 50 estados tenían alguna restricción sobre aborto previo a esta decisión) iban en contra de la Constitución de los EE. UU. La corte clamó que el derecho de aborto se encontraba en el derecho de privacidad. ¿Existe siquiera mención sobre el derecho de privacidad en la Constitución? No, pero la Suprema Corte de Justicia previa, aclamo que el derecho se encontraba en las penumbras de la Constitución. Roe vs. Wade a resultado en la violencia de matar deliberadamente a millones de seres humanos prenatales. 4) Obergefell vs. Hodges (2015): La corte cambio siglos de tradición al declarar que el derecho de matrimonio garantiza también a parejas del mismo sexo. Esta decisión, que en efecto cambio dramáticamente el significado de matrimonio para todos, requiere que todos los 50 estados permitan casamientos entre personas del mismo sexo. Esta decisión tendrá seguramente consecuencias serias, especialmente para niños, quienes benefician mucho de tener a am-bos, una mama y un papa. Todos estos casos indican, que las decisiones de la Suprema Corte pueden tener serias consecuencias para todos nosotros. Esas decisiones pueden causar mucho bien o mucho mal a individuos y a nuestra sociedad. Así que es de suma importancia quien conforma la Suprema Corte de los EE. UU. Oremos para que una persona realmente justa sea confirmada por el Senado para reemplazar al Juez Anthony Kennedy quien se retira.
