Dear Advocates of the Supreme Court of the United States,

​

As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." It can often be hard to use one’s voice, but the fact remains, we have voices for a reason. Our world today, same as our world yesterday and every day before that, is a cruel and unfair one and will continue to be so. However, if we believe humanity deserves a better world, it's up to us to do everything in our power to bring it as close as possible to peace and justice.

​

Whether this will be your first court experience or not, you will walk out with new skills, new perspectives, and new friends. I have faith in each and every one of you that you will find your place in every debate and be up to each task. The cases on the table for this year are United States v. State of Texas, concerning the constitutionality of Texas’s post-Dobbs abortion law, and Doe v. Meta Platforms, regarding the constitutionality of social media content moderation and government influence. 

​

The United States v. State of Texas case forces us to confront questions of liberty, bodily autonomy, and the limits of state power. It asks us where constitutional protections begin and end, and whether justice can exist when enforcement is placed in the hands of private citizens instead of the law itself. The Doe v. Meta Platforms case brings us into the modern public square, the internet. It challenges us to define free speech in a digital age, where private platforms shape public discourse and governments may attempt to silence voices without passing a single law. Here, we must decide where private rights end and constitutional duty begins.

​

I’d say without a shadow of a doubt that what matters most is our humanity. Only once we start caring about it do our lives truly begin, and perhaps, we move one step closer to a better world. So it is up to us to be loud about the horrors of our world to see even the slightest shred of justice and peace. May these few days to come shed some light on tragedies that have befallen humanity and aid you in your pursuit of a better world.

Sincerely,
Omar Rabadi
President of the Supreme Court of the United States
