Question: During the confirmation hearings for new Supreme Court Justices (most recently Elena Kagan and soon for the replacement of Antonin Scalia who passed away last February), there is always quite a bit of discussion as to what the role of a judge is. However, this is a topic that requires serious consideration even when it isn't in the news. Some claim that the role of a judge "is not to make the law but to uphold and apply the law." Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain the reasons for your answer. Must be 2 paragraphs at least.
