Senate Shouldn’t Block Obama’s Nominee

The death of Supreme Court replacement, the votes could swing justice causes panic among Republicans. the other way. Therefore, it is a crucial time to have a full court. It is likely that President Obama BY TAYLOR SPIES will want to fill the empty spot with REPORTER a liberal judge, but the mostlyconservative Senate will not want this

Supreme Court Justice Antonin to happen. President Obama has a Scalia died Feb. 13 in his sleep. Scalia little over 300 days left in office and was well known for his conservative most Republican senators have vowed views, dedication to the Constitution to avoid making any decision until and loudly voicing his opinions after he leaves office, in the hopes that in court. His death has caused the a more conservative president will government to panic because now the be elected and will nominate a new Supreme Court is split evenly between conservative judge, according to CNN. conservatives and liberals. President If the Senate chooses to block the Obama now has the chance to change Supreme Court candidate, it could the majority of the court to liberals. break the record for longest time

Even so, he should be able to the Senate has taken to vote for a nominate a candidate, and the Senate nominee, according to the BBC News. should agree to consider the candidate This mirrors the new level of partisan and take a vote. politics at play in the Supreme Court,

If a conservative judge BBC News. replaces Scalia, it could swing the votes Since 1900, there have been six one way, while if a liberal judge is the Justices that were confirmed in a presidential election year. The Senate has typically confirmed the President’s nominee whether or not it was an election year.

There’s never been a block on the same scale that the Senate is considering now. For example, in 2005 President Bush nominated Samuel Alito to be the Supreme Court Justice after Justice Sandra Day O’Connor retired. The senate panicked, much like they are doing now. Some were determined to block the nominee, although it was the Democrats rather than the Republicans that were worried. However, the Senate voted after around 60 days and Justice Alito was voted into the Supreme Court.

This shows that politics are starting to play a bigger and bigger role in the Supreme Court. If Americans are striving for an unbiased judicial system, politics shouldn’t be the deciding factor on important decisions like judges for the Supreme Court. Ideally, politics should play a minor role in the judicial system to preserve justice. This is no exception.

The sharp reactions from the Senate are part of a political revenge cycle that needs to stop. It seems if a candidate is from a certain party, the Senators from the opposing party immediately panic and jump to drastic decisions like refusing to vote or even holding hearings.

In fact, Obama hasn’t even nominated anybody, people are only talking about his short list of candidates he’s likely to nominate for the position. However, the Senate is already determined to block them, according to CNN.

This process takes an average of 25-35 days but the longest time it has taken to vote was 125 days, according to the New York Times.

The Senate should not need to take any longer than 125 days, at the most, to vote for the Supreme Court nominee. People should be less concerned with what party the nominee is, and be more worried about if they can do the best job as a Justice of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is too important to be made into “political football,” and turning this decision into another game of politics is disrespecting the Supreme Court, judicial system, and everything it stands for.
