 Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today announced the Honorable Tani Cantil-Sakauye as his choice for chief justice of the California Supreme Court.
“Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye has a distinguished history of public service and understands that the role of a justice is not to create law, but to independently and fairly interpret and administer the law,” said Governor Schwarzenegger. “She is a living example of the American Dream and when she is confirmed by the voters in November, Judge Cantil-Sakauye will become California’s first Filipina chief justice; adding to our High Court’s already rich diversity.”

" Let us say you are a manager in a company or simply you have your own business, big enough for you to hire employees or someone to assist you in managing your business, you usually prefer to hire someone who is related to you, maybe by blood or by marriage, or someone you trust, your friend, instead of somebody else.
