Predisposition to an opinion

The deference of Jesus of Nazareth, in dependence on the wisdom of his Father, leads me to thoughts about opinions. Undoubtedly, some of the complainants that appear in our courts will try to sway the court to adopt a certain opinion of theirs. Sometimes, the motivation will be, substantially, self-serving on the part of the complainant. Hopefully, this will consist of a small fraction of the complaints. But whether it is small, or large; we must have a body of rules and laws that cannot be adjusted for the sake of unconnected agendas. These types of rules and laws are the things that Jesus received from his Father. In that respect, the Senate and House of Representatives, with the support of the Office of the President of the United States of America; together, serve as an extension of this principle for the sake of national legislation. We, who are of the court, depend on you; as Jesus depended on his Father.

In the laws of the nation, provided by you, we need to be able to clearly identify your intent in framing the law. For, some complainants will be sincere about the value of their cause, even though others will come with an agenda. The latter group reminds me of the one that fills the office of the highest spiritual Adversary. This Bible introduced us to this adversary, in the temptation of Job, the man. The highest Adversary does not limit itself to persuading individuals. This Adversary also plays a part in trying to sway the judgment of the Highest Judge. The Adversary failed to achieve this goal, and was disbarred from practicing as a prosecuting attorney in the court of Heaven; according to the report of a certain eyewitness.

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:7-9)..

(General Thoughts)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Herein, are some possible thoughts, as one stands before the Congress of the United States, in the matter of confirmation for Supreme Court judicial service.

Among the things that are often discussed, and that will, no doubt, be explored, are the matters of conflict of interest, and predisposition to an opinion. These are matters that I thought about during the time when the news of a certain recent candidate’s (the female one, not the male that preceded her) appointment to the highest court, in the United States of America was broadcast. I will share those thoughts.

The tone of the narrative will be, substantially, role playing. However, there may be times of divergence from the role play. This may take the form of a spectator providing commentary. Then again, there may not be any diversion; the intent is to make this flow as a narrative, as much as possible. So, bypassing the cordialities, let us jump to a point after that. As we continue from that point, we share thoughts on the matter of conflict of interest.
