THE FOUNDING FATHERS.

The Senate Judiciary Committee's roll-call vote yesterday, Tuesday 7/28/2009, for the confirmation process of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be debated on the Senate floor, will go down in history, just as anything else. The Headlines this morning are saying her approval will be certain, despite GOP opposition; and we all agree, due to the obvious fact that the Democrats form a great majority or The Super Majority in the Senate.

However, many citizenry who watched the proceedings on the Internet had different thoughts going through their minds, and some were bound to think about the Founding Fathers of the nation now called the United States of America. The question would then arise in their minds, "Are the Founding Fathers the same to everybody?"; and "Is the meaning of the Constitution the same to everyone?".

Needless to say that the answer would be "No"; and many would say that the real Founding Fathers thought of that too; and so, they wrote the Constitution in one particular language, English, so that no one could change its (U.S.Constitution) meaning or translate it in any other form, language included.

However, another question would arise, "Would everybody hold the English language in the highest esteem to recognize that the contents of the Constitution could never be altered?".
They were surely thinking about the future; about times as the one which was witnessed in the Senate Judiciary Committee only yesterday. Who could then blame them? They had other ethnic groups around them, but they did not invite any of them to help in its (Constitution's) formulation or to add any other language to it. They did it to ensure that their pattern would be strictly followed and adhered to by future posterity.

Yet, would that be possible? The answer to that question could only come from those who spoke the English language, or made it the "Unofficial" but the standard language of U.S.A. Now, those people were "inviting" others to infiltrate the defense the Founding Fathers built. They were allowing someone like Sonia Sotomayor, who we all knew had a completely different cultural and ethnic background, to climb to the highest office in the judiciary system of the land. Why?

It is true that all must be considered equal before the law; and all must be offered the same opportunities. Nevertheless, the question must arise, "Can we trust everybody to hold dear the aspirations of the Founding Fathers?".
