About 3 weeks ago, President Obama appointed Merrick Garland, a chief judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals in the D.C. Circuit to the Supreme Court. This nomination followed after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia who was a political icon in the eyes of many conservatives. What used to be a more conservative panel of justices had turned into a 4-4 tie. The problem in this case is that it is likely for all the conservatives to support one side of a case or the same for all the liberals in the panel of the justices. If there is a 4-4 tie, the ruling of the lower court stands and in many ways, this could be unpleasant for those who fought hard for their case. To fill this void, President Obama knew he had to appoint that he believed who would be liked by Democrats and Republicans.

The symbolic torch Lady Liberty holds signifies the light of freedom, however, the broken chain lying around her feet depicts our shameful and repressive past. She stirs the citizens of this nation to be guided by her torch of freedom and warns them never to recede back into subjugation. The American people have the right to pursue the American dream, because of the independence and freedom Lady Liberty personifies. The modern meaning of the American dream produces images of the suburbs, two perfectly behaved children, and a Prius parked in the garage. Unfortunately, this materialistic and shallow dream guides the way Americans live today.
