One of the inevitable consequences of seeking a diverse population is the "Cheerios effect." While the long-term plans of social engineers, who have successfully lobbied the political powers-that-be for open immigration policies, is to create a genetically more uniform population of humans, the short term distribution of immigrant people and their genes will tend to be social clumping, which reflects their national origins. As these "clumps" will grow at varying rates over the ensuing generations, due to births and additional immigration, fairly discrete populations will develop additional power and influence on political issues.
Due to a lower common denominator approach to standardized public education, as school systems fought the demon of inequality, a good understanding of the United States Constitution, of legal precedence developed from it by court decisions and the influence of the English common law, which was drafted into the blooming American system of government, as well as the Law Merchant, which was largely developed by Jewry to rationalize trading practices between Jewish communities and introduced in trading with non-Jews, seems to be utterly in jeopardy.
Parenthetically, the English common law issued from Alfred the Great's The Doom Book, which were largely drawn from the Bible, and the Law Merchant often enough reflected the rabbinic mediation via Scripture or Talmudic interpretation of issues touching on the dispute between Jewish merchants. These two sources often inform the Uniform Commercial Code of the United States. In an increasingly hostile time in America toward Christianity, I do suspect that many would alter history rather than acknowledge accurately the past.
Be that as it may, a religiously diverse U.S. population seems to be "in the [Tarot?] cards."
If this is so, then increasing conflicts can be expected, assuming the education system hasn't annihilated all religions. The reason for this is that national laws issue from the religious beliefs of the national group controlling a given area of Planet Earth. Different religious creeds may well inspire different - even conflicting - ideas of legal procedure.
As the Supreme Court presently is composed of one African American, four Jews and four White non-Jews [using census-style terminology], a gathering of large, discrete populations, not now included among the nine U.S. citizens weighing the legal fate of all, may well have many wondering why there are no (fill in the group) sitting on the highest court in the land. What can be done about this?
Here, then, I hazard a possible proposal to overcome potential social unrest: why not install robots to fill the nine slots on the Supreme Court?
In the era of artificial intelligence, a well-considered set of robots, programmed with all necessary U.S. law and history, could be counted on to derive quickly the best interpretation of the law of the land. If a scale of values pertinent to the general welfare was also encoded, a degree of introduced subjectivity might be added, consistent with historic norms and current cultural standards. Their decisions would be splendidly lucid and unmarred by prejudice or outside pressure. Of course, the CIA, et al, would undoubtedly try to "talk" to the judges to program-in a favorable opinion in a given cases. Therefore, the robot SCOUS justices would need to be sealed from any external code of a mischievous nature. There would also need to be an internal security software capable of identifying attempted intrusion - sort of like home protection security software capable of recognizing an attempted "home invasion" - and putting the quietus on it.
If America can be protected by extraterrestrial transformers in Michael Bey movies, why not expect the same protection from our robot justices?
