| Description | Dear Mr. President:
With the recent retirement of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, you have a monumental decision before you. We urge you to make an appointment to the Supreme Court that would unify our nation, not divide it further.
We urge you to appoint former United States Senator John Danforth of Missouri to the U.S. Supreme Court.
We are a nation at war abroad, and a nation deeply divided on many issues at home. This is not the time for an appointment that would offend half the nation and potentially provoke a bitter and prolonged confirmation battle.
You have twice called on Sen. Danforth for important positions. Twice he has answered that call. We urge you to call on him again for the good of the nation. Mr. Danforth knows better than anyone that harm that can come from a bitter confirmation battle. There is little doubt that his sense of duty would require him to answer such a call.
Sen. Danforth is eminently qualifed and would be promptly confirmed by the United State Senate. He is an obvious choice for our nation in this time and place. We urge you to make him your choice as well.
Sincerely, |
