Do you believe a Supreme Court nominee's political views should play a role in his/her approval by the Senate?
In my opinion Supreme Court nominee's political views should play a role in the approval by the Senate and is an influential factor in their appointment. Since the president is elected with a certain political view and nominate who he thinks will be appointed and pass the Senate approval process he wouldn't choose anyone that didn't have the same political views as his own, or his party or what is believed will directly impact the future of decisions. Even if throughout history, those that were elected and rejected came from particular political points of views then there is no way that political views aren't a factor by the Senate's

    Pros And Cons Of Judge Pickering

    A Price Too High Judge Charles Pickering was spending a January day hunting in 2001 with his son Chip Pickering, when he was asked if he wanted a recommendation from Senators Trent Lott and Thad Cochran to President Bush to be nominated for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. After already being asked once and declining, he decided he would not mind a change of pace and accepted the offer. After a lot of lengthy paperwork and background checks, Judge Pickering was put up for nomination on May 25, 2001. A day before Pickering was put up for nomination Republican Jim Jeffords decided to switch to an Independent, giving control of the Senate to the Democrats.…

    DADT: Legal Case Study

    Well, I guess I'll just sit here and see how the next four years play out. I think it's pretty safe to say that AHA is gone and that Trump will nominate at least one new SC judge. Currently, we have three judges that are over 75 years old, two of which are over 80. Plus one vacancy. That could amount to an incredible shift in the Courts balance of power.…

    Clarence Thomas Essay

    Clarence Thomas was appointed to the Supreme Court to replace Thurgood Marshall, however, regarding his stances, Thomas is practically the “anti-Thurgood”. Thomas approaches constitutional interpretation of the law through the “originalist” perspective, meaning this “philosophy calls for interpreting the Constitution by looking to the words in the document” (American progress). Thomas is one of the many Roman Catholics sitting on the Court and is also widely considered the most conservative. Clarence Thomas had been said to have specific policy preferences closer to that of an extreme conservative. Thomas is anti-gay marriage and he is against affirmative action.…

    What Is Dahl's Intended Apolitical Nature Of Supreme Court?

    Even so, empirically proving Dahl’s original theory still raises important questions concerning the intended apolitical nature of Supreme Court. For example, if the policy preferences of a president are reflected in the votes of their court appointments, it would indicate that the two branches of government are far from being “truly distinct” as Alexander Hamilton envisioned in Federalist #78. Furthermore, it may also indicate that a president’s consideration of qualifications may be secondary in the appointment process, potentially resulting in a court that is politically partisan at the expense of being legally competent.…

    Biden Rule: Speech Analysis

    Republicans also cite what they have termed the “Biden Rule” when arguing that the seat not be filled. The “Biden Rule” stems from a speech that Vice President Joe Biden gave when he was a Senator and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee (Lerner, Kira). Biden stated that if President H. W. Bush nominated an individual to replace a retiring justice that, "the Senate Judiciary Committee should seriously consider not scheduling confirmation hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over." (Emery, C. 2016) Republicans, mainly Mitch McConnell point to this as evidence that nominations should not be considered during an election year. Mitch McConnell was quoted saying, "The Senate will continue to observe the Biden…

    The Devastating Death Of Antonin Scalia

    Ensuing, the devastating death of Antonin Scalia, the obvious question rose as to who President Obama will nominate as a successor to Scalia. Since the court is now leveled between liberals and conservatives, court rulings would often tie if a replacement is not found soon. In court rulings the lower court rulings will stand. Ultimately, this could affect cases such as voting rights, affirmative action, labor unions, abortion, contraception and immigration. Senate Republicans have already made the decision to refuse to confirm before the election, considering they want to leave the decision to the next president.…

    Who Is President Donald Trump: Helpful Or Harmful?

    Every president makes promises while they campaign for the office but once they are sworn into office the act of governing can cause them to lose sight of promises for more important or pressing matter. President Donald Trump made a very ambitious plan for his first 100 days in office. This plan touched on many of the promises that were made during the campaign, proving that the voices of his base had not been forgotten. Many on the left have criticized President Trump for the plan stating that he would be unable to deliver on all of it. And while these concerns many be legitimate it is far more productive to look at what President Trump has accomplished since he has taken office.…

    The Importance Of Nominating Supreme Court Justices

    Nominating a Supreme Court Justice is an incredibly important job, it could give your party a majority on the bench. Therefore, Presidents have attempted at nominating justices who agree with them on issues and belong to the same party as them. However, history has proven to be a disappointment for those who nominate Justices based on ideology (Dorsen). Republicans seems to face the most disappointment with two of the current Justices, John G. Roberts and Anthony M. Kennedy moving more to the left since being placed on the bench. However, it was Justice Earl Warren who became to be known as the most disappointing Justice for the Republicans.…

    Supreme Court Political Analysis

    Supreme Court justices do have personal views. They are appointed through a political process. Observers naturally must ask how great a role their political views actually play. Some scholars argue that the justices’ political preferences play a large role, essentially dictating their decisions in many cases. They point to the fact that justices appointed by conservative presidents tend to vote in a conservative fashion and those appointed by liberal presidents vote the opposite way.…

    Senatorial Courtesy Analysis

    According to the textbook, there are two main ways in which one can be nominated as a Federal Judge. The first approach is termed, “Senatorial Courtesy” in which the president of the United states chooses an individual that he or she believes to be qualified to fill the position, however at this point the Senate has the position to “approve or reject” based on the same “qualification” the president used in order to nominate the individual. If the Senate decided to reject the president’s selection, “veto”, they then will use the process titled “blue slip”. With the blue slip the Senate will state their ideas and feelings towards those who are nominated, and if there is a negative comment, or if the blip-slip is not even processed, then the result…

    Argumentative Essay: Should Judges Elect Judges?

    “Courts are meant to be above Partisan Politics, protecting rights and weighing evidence separate from political pressures” I believe subjecting judges to an election, puts them at a high risk for corruption. Therefore I do not believe that voters should elect judges. “The crisis of confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary is real and growing. Left unaddressed, the perception that justice is for sale will undermine the rule of the law that courts are supposed to uphold (State judges should be appointed, not elected).” Pennsylvania spent a record breaking 16.5 million dollars on their state Supreme Court elections this year, with most of that money coming from a small handful of special interest groups, and lawyers who will hope their donations will grant them favoritism with the judges.…
