Wayne County Board Of Elections Case Study

Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia said they would join Republicans in support of the appellate court judge. "After doing my due diligence by meeting with Judge Gorsuch and reviewing his record and testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I've decided to vote in favor of his confirmation," Heitkamp said in a statement. Manchin said in his statement that "I will vote to confirm him to be the ninth justice on the Supreme Court. Supreme Court jurists should have an extensive career in law, a record of upholding the Constitution in their rulings, an established judicial philosophy, and an appropriate temperament. Throughout Judge Gorsuch's career, he has come to his legal rulings objectively, through the letter of the law rather than through his own opinion.” Under current Senate rules, Gorsuch would need to be confirmed with 60 votes, but the threat of filibuster during Gorsuch’s confirmation hearing has led for Republicans, including Senator Lindsey Graham, to call on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to invoke the "nuclear option" that would allow Gorsuch to be confirmed by a simple majority

APPEAL from the judgment of the Superior Court of Sutter County, Perry Parker, Judge. Reversed, in part; remanded, in part; and affirmed, in part.

President Obama publicly disagreed with the decision but could not change it. The President decides on nominations who are then put under scrutiny while he receives the ‘advise and consent’ of the Senate judiciary committee. There is therefore a small democratic link however it is very weak. Once a Justice is appointed they cannot be removed and are independent of the other political bodies this can be evidenced by Eisenhower’s appointments, a Republican conservative who appointed 2 liberal justices, something he regretted so much so that when asked if there were any regrets after his time in office he replied “I have made two mistakes, and they are both sitting on the Supreme Court”. As stated before the judiciary is independent and once Supreme Justices are appointed they cannot be fired or dismissed this leaves a huge deficit of accountability, a key factor of democracy.

     Once the arguments were done, there was nothing left to do but wait as the justices debated the issue among themselves and issued a written opinion, probably in four or five months. The traditional process called for the justices to listen to oral arguments on Monday through Thursday, then to take preliminary votes and assign opinion authorships during a private meeting – again attended only by the justices – on Friday. Based on the political makeup of the Supreme Court in the spring of 1966, it was widely speculated that a majority would come down in some form on the side of Ernest Miranda.

Early on it was emphasized that the hearings would remain sharply divided along party lines, with each senator accusing the opposing side of taking a position on an issue strictly because it is politically advantageous for them to do so. Senator Orrin Hatch, a republican from Utah, argued that the Senate owes a president discretion in picking his judicial nominees and pointed out that Gorsuch had received the highest rating possible from the American Bar Association, the "gold standard" in vetting judicial nominees. He then continued to criticize democrats for wanting Gorsuch to outline how he would vote on certain cases, saying that to them, "judicial independence requires he be beholden to them and their political agenda" on issues like abortion. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, pointed out that he had voted to confirm President Obama's two Supreme Court nominees, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, because they were qualified for the job and not because he agreed with their politics and urged his Democratic colleagues to give Gorsuch the same
