On Obama’s Supreme Court Nominee
by Jordan Cooper

President Obama is not attending Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral. That’s no surprise. Scalia hasn’t voted on his side during his entire term and had some controversial remarks about minorities too. My cousin Dean Blake Morant of the GWU Law School should be Obama’s next Supreme Court Nominee.

He has served as the dean of two of the top law schools. That is similar to the resume of Elena Kagan. He also has a degree from UVA in both undergrad and grad school. Then, he’s a member of the armed forces. He was honorably discharged from the Judge Advocate General’s Corps. He studied at the University of Oxford as a fellow and was a legal counsel for Washington D.C.’s Transportation System. Plus, he’s taught at more than 10 schools of law as a professor.

With this being said, Dean Morant is regarded as one of the nation’s top legal minds. He’s shown his affinity for the private sector by working in a private law firm and serving as dean for two private law schools. Dean Morant is a role model for blacks and others alike. He’s known for being an aggressive advocate of civil liberties and the pliancy of the law based on the written text. He learned from his dad who was a Christian minister and retired postal carrier. Morant can bring God, the constitution, and America’s interpretative institute back to life.
