Download or read book Supreme Court Appointment Process written by Denis Steven Rutkus and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appointment of a Supreme Court Justice is an infrequent event of major significance in American politics. Each appointment is important because of the enormous judicial power the Supreme Court exercises as the highest appellate court in the federal judiciary. Appointments are infrequent, as a vacancy on the nine member Court may occur only once or twice, or never at all, during a particular President's years in office. Under the Constitution, Justices on the Supreme Court receive lifetime appointments. Such job security in the government has been conferred solely on judges and, by constitutional design, helps insure the Court's independence from the President and Congress. The procedure for appointing a Justice is provided for by the Constitution in only a few words. The "Appointments Clause" (Article II, Section 2, clause 2) states that the President "shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the Spreme Court." The process of appointing Justices has undergone changes over two centuries, but its most basic feature -- the sharing of power between the President and Senate -- has remained unchanged: To receive lifetime appointment to the Court, a candidate must first be nominated by the President and then confirmed by the Senate. Although not mentioned in the Constitution, an important role is played midway in the process (after the President selects, but before the Senate considers) by the Senate Judiciary Committee. On rare occasions, Presidents also have made Court appointments without the Senate's consent, when the Senate was in recess. Such "recess appointments," however, were temporary, with their terms expiring at the end of the Senate's next session. The last recess appointments to the Court, made in the 1950s, were controversial, because they bypassed the Senate and its "advice and consent" role. The appointment of a Justice might or might not proceed smoothly. Since the appointment of the first Justices in 1789, the Senate has confirmed 120 Supreme Court nominations out of 154 received. Of the 34 unsuccessful nominations, 11 were rejected in Senate roll-call votes, while nearly all of the rest, in the face of committee or Senate opposition to the nominee or the President, were withdrawn by the President or were postponed, tabled, or never voted on by the Senate. Over more than two centuries, a recurring theme in the Supreme Court appointment process has been the assumed need for excellence in a nominee. However, politics also has played an important role in Supreme Court appointments. The political nature of the appointment process becomes especially apparent when a President submits a nominee with controversial views, there are sharp partisan or ideological differences between the President and the Senate, or the outcome of important constitutional issues before the Court is seen to be at stake.

Book excerpt: Press and Reviews for The Bork HearingsThe Chronicle of Higher Education Sept 2. 2005What Is Fair Game When Examining the Record of a Court Nominee?By RICHARD BYRNERalph E. Shaffer, professor emeritus of history, California State Polytechnic UniversityWhat will citizens glean from the Senate testimony of John G. Roberts Jr. about his nomination to the Supreme Court? In The Bork Hearings: Highlights From the Most Controversial Judicial Confirmation Battle in U.S. History (Markus Wiener Publishers), Mr. Shaffer offers a compilation of key exchanges on such issues as original intent and privacy in the 1987 hearings on Robert H. Bork's nomination. He says those hearings were "an unprecedented discussion of constitutional theory" -- a discussion that led to Mr. Bork's rejection by the U.S. Senate.Q. Many nominees duck a wide-ranging discussion of their views, but you point to Mr. Bork's relish for debate as a factor in his testimony. In light of the result, will we ever see another voluble nominee?A. Nearly all of them will be more reticent. In fact, the five who have followed him have been more reticent. They did not want to talk. ... And before Bork, there really wasn't a flashpoint to go into such a lengthy grilling.Bork was a flashpoint because of what he had written and the speeches that he made. All of this, and particularly the views which he held, sparked a considerable outpouring of concern on the part of Democrats. And Republicans on the committee tried to gloss over anything that he had written before by helping him restate it in a way that was more acceptable.Q. There is an increasing paper trail on Mr. Roberts, though only a short record of his judicial writings. What parts of that paper trail should be fair game?A. It should all be fair game, quite frankly. I see no reason why one should presume that when he was a solicitor general that he was simply doing what his boss and his client wanted. The man must have had some feelings toward those particular issues of his own, therefore he could support them.Q. What questions should senators ask Mr. Roberts?A. They should ask the same kinds of questions that they asked Bork. For instance, original intent; Bork was very good on original intent, even if you didn't agree with him. But he talked exactly and specifically about what it meant, and how complicated it was. That it was not just the framers of the Constitution, but the ratifiers as well. ... We have no idea what Roberts thinks about that.Q. What political winds would need to be blowing to create a situation in which a nomination sparked similar discussion?A. The next time that there is a left-of-center president, if that ever happens, the conservatives will do to that candidate what the Democrats did to Bork. I'm sure there will be very probing questions under those conditions.http://chronicle.comSection: Research & PublishingVolume 52, Issue 2, Page A19The Chronicle of Higher Education Sept 2. 2005

Widely hailed as the most important critique of the nation’s intellectual climate since The Closing of the American Mind, The Tempting of America illuminates the history of the Supreme Court and the underlying meaning of constitutional controversy. Essential to understanding the relationship between values and the law, it concludes with a personal account of Judge Bork’s chillingly emblematic experiences during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing on his Supreme Court nomination.
