"I would not look to the US Constitution if I were drafting a Constitution in the year 2012. "I can't speak about what the Egyptian experience should be, because I'm operating under a rather old constitution." Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg During an Egyptian television interview.

This is why elections should matter to police officers. The police swear an oath to protect and serve the people in their jurisdictions and to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Here a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States insults our Constitution by saying it's old and no good enough for another nation to consider. I suppose the concepts of freedom of religion, free speach, and the right to a fair trail are outdated in her world view.

We have a presidential election soon and when you consider your vote, think about who will be appointing judges. Will they be judges who believe in the American system of justice or who think our Constitution is "old?" Will they believe that the people have a right to be secure in their persons or property or that perhaps that is an old fashioned notion? We as law enforcement officers are not doing our duty as citizens if we don't cast an informed vote for president; that's what the SGT Says.
