America's Road to Wealth

Ordinary people think that places like the White House, the Capitol, or the Federal Supreme Court must be very sacred and solemn when working or holding meetings.

However, in fact, in addition to the need for reporters to come in and pose for pictures, so as to provide photo materials or video materials for publicity, the rest of the time.

The white house is okay. The Federal Supreme Court and the Capitol are often as lively as ordinary people going to the vegetable market when they are working.

Make small circles, whisper, yawn, do all kinds of tricks secretly, and even exaggerate to sleep in the classroom with eyes closed!

There are people who do everything.

To put it bluntly, as tall as the commander, the supreme judge or members of Congress, they are also mortal, and they also have various physical and psychological needs.

This earth is not the holy Terra, and the upper classes are really just ordinary people in the physical sense.

There is no Emperor here.

Therefore, the scenes that will appear in occasions such as gatherings of ordinary people will also appear in occasions where people from the so-called empires gather.

Before the Nine Heavenly Group, the Grand Commander, and Peggy Morgenthau, the core of today's ceremony, appeared.

The entire hall of the Supreme Court of the United States can be said to be noisy, no different from working at the New York Stock Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade.

"...Dear Abel, I said it. Your choice must not be wrong. See, today's occasion is the best proof."

In the auditorium, Abel was caught by the big man in the building opposite, the famous Washington hammer Tom Dray, this Texan who almost became the original godfather of Abel, at the moment, was with many senior members of the Xiang Party The members surrounded Abel.

Although last year, Abel publicly withdrew from the Elephant Party, saying that since then he has become a non-partisan and has a neutral attitude towards any domestic party in the United States.

And after doing that, he deliberately got closer to the donkey gang.

It seems that he is a traitor in the eyes of the elephant party.

However, betrayal is betrayal when placed on someone who has no strength.

Putting it on a powerful person like Abel, even if he has done many actions that seem to be betraying the elephant party.

But from the beginning to the end, no one in Xiang's party dared to say that he had betrayed his own party, never.

Even now, they still regard Abel as more of their own.

Of course there is Abel's background in it, and the reason why the elephant party traces are too strong.

But there is no doubt that what is more important is his identity and strength.

Otherwise, if an ordinary Texas rich man dared to do like Abel. Those who faced this gentleman were probably suppressed by the Xiang Party from top to bottom.

"Dear Tom, then and now. I have always had great respect for you..."

Abel smiled and talked in front of the hammer and the elephants: "It's like I always understood that they didn't regard me as their own. The one who is by my side is actually my own."

His performance of talking nonsense to people and talking nonsense made all the elephants around him smile happily.

"Ha~ You're right, you can't change your background!" Tom Drey said with a happy smile.

Then lowered his voice again, "Just like Rick."

Abel knew that the Rick Tom Dray was referring to was the current governor of Texas.

He has already won the election last year, from the acting governor who replaced George to the full governor.

And Rick Perry was originally born in the deep blue area, and the direction and mentor he chose when he embarked on this path were all senior donkey gangs.

But then, under the influence of the bush family, Rick Perry jumped from the donkey to the elephant.

When he changed jobs, the social atmosphere in the United States was not as open as it is now. So Rick got a lot of infamy at that time, and his hometown elders and father haven't forgiven him yet.

And because of his indelible donkey traces, in fact, except for the bushes, not many people on the elephant side really regard him as their own.

This is why in the parallel time and space, Rick Perry was only the governor of Texas at the highest.

When Tom Drey said this at this time, he was implying that such things as Abel's origin cannot be erased in the United States.

Abel didn't care about this, he knew very well that it didn't really matter whether a donkey looked like a donkey or not.

The most important thing is actually your own strength.

With strength, even if you pretend to be an elephant, the elephants will smile at you, and vice versa.

Without strength, what if you are an elephant? When other elephants should eat you, they will not hold back because you are of the same kind.

The same goes for the donkey side.

I chatted with Tom Drey and others for a while, and also talked with my father and Neil for a while in the middle.

When the clock came to 10:00 AM sharp.

The clear and melodious sound of the law bell suddenly sounded in the hall of the Federal Supreme Court.

Clang—clang——

Hundreds of guests and participants, their voices of chatting finally stopped.

Everyone knows that the ceremony is about to begin. After the ceremony, Peggy Morgenthau, a young woman who is less than 30 years old this year, actually only a little over 24 years old, will become a judge of the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia.

If this level of promotion is placed in the federal legal system, it can be said to be a step up to the sky.

The 13 circuit court judges are the highest-ranking existence in the federal legal system except for the 9-member Tiantuan.

Even if they are placed in the entire legal system of the United States, their status is very high.

Yes, the District Attorney does have a lot of power. In many cases, it can even be said to federal judges.

As long as the plaintiff and the defendant do not appeal, even the Nine-member Heavenly Group cannot control them.

Such as Peggy's grandfather, Robert Morgenthau. During his tenure as Manhattan district attorney, the hand of federal law was unsuccessfully reached several times.

As a result, the Morgenthau family became the most powerful local judicial family in the northern part of the east coast.

But not everyone is Morgenthau. A strong local prosecutor who can counter the federal legal system also depends on the region.

Prosecutors in New York City and Los Angeles City, of course, have some strength to compete with circuit courts, and they can say no forcefully when necessary.

But for those district attorneys who are not strong enough, it is impossible for them to have a loud voice in front of the judges of the 13 circuit courts.

So this position is really important.

And when that young, beautiful, elegant and serious female judge, wearing a judge's dress and surrounded by nine people, walked out of it.

Many younger men look straight.

In terms of beauty, Peggy Morgenthau can probably be the most beautiful among the three poles in Washington.

The more experienced veterans in Washington, from time to time, looked away from her and the Nine-member Heavenly Group, and put their eyes on Abel Smith, who was smiling and applauding gently in the auditorium.

At this time, many people are guessing in their hearts, what means and what resources were used by this terrifying national giant to exchange for Peggy Morgenthau so smoothly.

Of course, everyone knows that in this process, shrubs and Rehnquist are the two most important links.

Also know that Abe Smith has a very deep relationship with them.

But no matter how deep the relationship is, if you want to get the exact benefits, you still have to pay something.

The real Washington animals pay more attention to this aspect than to Paige Morgenthau's beauty.

The follow-up of the entire swearing-in ceremony naturally went smoothly.

Because this is actually just a formality, to symbolize the sanctity of the law.

After Commander George sent the nomination to the Senate, and the result of the Senate's successful vote came out.

Paige Morgenthau is already a judge in the District of Columbia Circuit Court.

Just like when George stood in front of William Habs Rehnquist and the priest three years ago and took the oath according to the Bible.

Although it's just a formality, it doesn't seem important. But if you have to look at it from another angle, today's ceremony is actually very important.

It's a bit contradictory, because in the United States, a place with strong theocracy, this kind of ceremony has a certain symbolic meaning.

Having said that, the United States is the only country that still takes the oath of office according to the Bible.

The cemetery just doesn't count.

Because the United States is actually a country that combines politics and religion!

Not only do the great commanders have to swear by the Bible, but even the closing words of the inauguration ceremonies of the previous great commanders must be "God bless you, God bless America", which means God bless you and God bless the United States.

That's right, God blesses, not the Constitution.

Any sentence in the inauguration ceremony of the Grand Commander can be changed, but the last sentence must not be changed, not a single word can be changed.

In addition, it is not only the inauguration ceremony of the Grand Commander.

In fact, American religious culture runs through the entire society. It is also to consider the feelings of the people that the general commander must ask God to bless the United States when he takes office. The entire United States believes in God from top to bottom.

Count down from the Grand Commander.

The U.S. Congress, the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, the highest halls of power where these elites gather, as long as any meeting is held, it must start with a prayer ceremony presided over by a pastor, and then start discussing state affairs.

It is any session, without any exception, that so many MPs cannot discuss anything until the priest's prayer service is over.

After the pastor finished praying, the councilors had to read a section of the Bible under the leadership of the speaker, and then the meeting could be formally held.

The process of American elites meeting in Congress is just so outrageous.

On the other hand, the highest justice in the United States who claims to think independently and can restrict the power of the government, the first thing he did when he took office was to swear to the pastor on the Bible.

Another digression is that the U.S. military, which is currently regarded as a heavenly soldier, is the largest violent institution in human beings, and there are priests everywhere in this violent institution.

In the United States, the military chaplain is an official soldier who enjoys the official establishment of the army and eats the country's meals. Follow the army to act together and fight in all directions.

Before the battle, the priest would bless the soldiers. After the battle, the pastor should clear up the knots of the soldiers in the name of the Lord and enlighten their lives. When they are free, they should lead the soldiers to pray and confess themselves to God.

Does it look familiar - ZW, priest, imam or shaman, priest, etc., covering 99% of the combat effectiveness of human troops.

It is said that it is the 21st century, but the reality is that this set is still popular.

So when the time came, Ms. Peggy Morgenthau was in front of all 343 guests, including the last arrived commander.

I solemnly swear the oath by laying my hands on the Holy Bible on which all the Lord Justices and Circuit Court Judges have laid their hands.

When she finally said the words "God bless America".

It also means that from today, she is a judge of the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia.

Today is November 15, 2003.

Coincidentally, when the swearing-in ceremony ended and the audience began to leave.

When everyone went out one after another and walked out of the gate of the Federal Supreme Court.

Above the sky in Washington, snow fell melodiously. The first snow in Washington this year is a bit earlier than in previous years.

By the time Abel and Peggy, who had changed into their normal clothes, came out, it was already noon.

It had been snowing for a while, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow. Although it was noon, when he walked out of the Supreme Court of the Federation, the cold wind blowing on his face still made Abel, who had just walked out of the warm room, feel very uncomfortable. Even though I had put on warm clothes and was wrapped tightly, I still felt chills.

The weather forecast said that this year may be a cold winter after last year's warm winter.

Abel thought it might be true because it was only the middle of November and it was snowing.

There's still a month left until Christmas. However, as the first good place, coupled with the preheating of the promotions carried out by the merchants in advance. The whole of Washington has been gradually decorated with lights, and the atmosphere of Christmas is being strengthened.

Although it is daytime and there is no brilliant light show, the Christmas trees that have not yet started to be decorated, and the shoppers carrying big bags and small bags, still make people feel the strong Christmas atmosphere in advance.

When Abel's motorcade stopped outside the lobby of a mansion in the Kalorama district, known as the lair of the rich and powerful in Washington, the door of the mansion lobby was opened immediately, and Robert Morgenthau and his team were smiling happily. Son George Morgenthau appeared at the door.

The car door opened, and Abel got out of the car with a smile, and then helped out Peggy inside. At this time, Robert and the others couldn't wait to walk down the steps, and hugged Abel with a bright smile on their faces, "Good afternoon, Dear Abe and Paige!"

The old man looked very happy.

Although it is said that as the most powerful family of district attorneys, the Morgenthau family is the leader of the judicial circle in the northern part of the east coast.

But for a long time, the Morgenthau family also wanted to reach out to the federal law system.

Back then, Robert and Kenny Dee had a very close friendship. If it wasn't for the old Ken's sudden brain opening, maybe Robert's name may be in the nine-member group now.

And now my most precious granddaughter has completed half of the work that I have not completed.

Robert was naturally very excited about this.

"Come in first."

Just as Robert was excitedly talking to Abel and Peggy in the snow.

Peggy's father, a thin old man suddenly stood up behind George Morgenthau. He smiled and beckoned everyone to come in first.

It's a bit cold outside.

And this old man, if anyone who had just watched Peggy's swearing-in ceremony was here, he would immediately recognize him as Mr. William Habbs Rehnquist.

The current Chief Justice of the Federal Supreme Court.
