Question:

What are the Weaknesses of the Supreme Court Justices Appointment Process?

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-Process has been Morphed due to Party Politics. Before 2005, Justices got Unanimous Approval Votes usually. But Recently, the Senate have divided amongst Party Lines with Amy Coney Barret and Ketanji Brown Jackson -Presidents look for Candidates with their own Ideology. This can Undermine the Principles of the Independence of the Court. (Clarence Thomas, Amy Barrett...) -Senate Judiciary Committee is now a Show. Televised to the Public, Senators have just been Rambling. For Sonia Sotomayor (2009) she only said 34% of the Words. -Role of Media undermines the Process, and focuses on Scandals and Controversy from the Candidates. The Character starts to become a Factor
