I don't see the point in awarding a congressional gold medal posthumously to Constance Baker Motley. While she may have made contributions to the United States, it seems unnecessary to honor her in this way now. How will this bill truly impact our country in the long run?

I don't think this is a good idea. Why are we giving medals to dead people? It doesn't make sense to me. This is just a waste of time and money. I don't see how this is going to help anyone. It's just a pointless gesture. I don't support this at all. Short term, this is not going to do anything for me or anyone else.
