RE: Week 7 Discussion Attachment

Hey Class and Professor,

I do believe that Americans will elect the judges based on their party. But in the end sometimes the party that is showing that they give a care about what is going on their cities and other areas. Judges can be the focus on helping young kids and grown adults in having a better life. Judges are the power to make decisions a criminal will go to prison or force young juveniles to face reality. Judges that make a change in the community will help strive young men and women understand that their life is precious. No matter what party is elected to the bench no the biases can trigger certain things in life. If a judge makes the decision to not care about others and focus on what is really going on the bench. A judge can help lead instead of focusing on what the party needs. I don't really believe that it is. Yes there is inherent inconsistency going around when it comes down to certain parties. Best way for us a Americans is to work together and stop against the real factor which is helping the young juveniles stay out prisons and have parents wanting to be there for their children
