your buzzer first in order to answer the
question

serve on the Supreme Court because she
is religious her response she calmly
listened and responded that she was
fully committed to Blink for all persons
a equal justice under the law B fair and
balanced punishment or C life and
Liberty
Reagan
um Equal justice underlying that is
correct
she was fully committed to equal justice
under the law for all persons this
phrase Equal justice under the law is
written above the main entrance to the
Supreme Court Building
this means that everyone coming to the
court should be judged equally according
to what the law says with no special
treatment
no
