With the race for the 2016 President Election in full swing, the sudden death of Justice Antonin Scalia has become a big talking point. People are debating whether the responsibility to nominate the next Justice should be that of current President Barrack Obama or the newly elected candidate. Regardless of what President carries out this role, it is clear who the next Justice should be: The Punisher.

The Punisher, aka Frank Castle, is the man this country needs. With important decisions on Obamacare and gay marriage by the Supreme Court in the rear view, its clear that more important decisions will come soon. We need someone who can be tough and fight for what is right. The Punisher is that man.

1) The Punisher is a believer in Justice- After Frank Castle’s family was murdered in Central Park, Castle swore to fight for justice and justice alone. This is the type of integrity that our Justices need to have. Whether these cases raise issues in what they believe in, it is important for them to always fight for what is best for this country and for the citizens of the United States.

2) The Punisher was a Patriot- The Punisher is a goddamn American Hero. From his tour in Vietnam, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, 3 times the silver star and bronze star, 4 times the Purple Heart, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. If Frank Castle doesn’t know what it truly means to fight for your country, then I don’t know who does.

3) The Punisher is a big believer in the Constitution- One of the reasons Castle would fit perfectly in Scalia’s place is his solid grasp on The Constitution. Scalia was a big believer in sticking to the script of The Constitution and The Punisher would follow along those same lines. If you look at The Punisher’s past, you can see his passion for The Constitution by fighting for 2nd Amendment Rights.

4) The Punisher has thwarted organized crime- One of Frank Castle’s goals as The Punisher was to clean up the streets to make the world a better place. He has helped thwart a number of organized crime groups such as The Italian Mafia, the Russian Mafia, the Japanese Yakuza, and other drug cartels in order to help make New York City a safer place.

5) The Punisher understands transnational politics- Frank Castle is a worldly man. Besides helping clean up the streets of New York City, he has traveled Europe, South America, and Asia in order to make sure justice is a worldwide policy. Besides understanding how the United States works, it is important for our justices to look out of our own sphere to see how the world operates.

Let me play Devil’s Advocate for a moment because I know The Punisher is a controversial figure to fill this position. Sure, I mean The Punisher has murdered a number of people violently but he is the man for the job. He knows justice and that is what we need, above all. It’s in the title, people.
