• U.S. Senators 'Strip Search' Judge Sotomayor

Article II of the U.S. Constitution empowers the president to nominate persons to the Supreme Court with the "advice and consent" of the Senate. The Supreme Court nominee may lack legal training and he or she is not explicitly required under the Constitution to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senators want to make sure that Supreme Court decisions continue to restrict the privileges and immunities clause of the 14th Amendment to the Slaughterhouse Cases and that the 13th Amendment stays clear of defining "badges of servitude."

Judicial selection has taken on peculiar salience for the next chief executive because the 44th president will probably name multiple justices to the sharply divided Supreme Court. Therefore, it is crucial that voters understand the positions which Republican candidates have taken on appointments. Judicial selection has figured prominently in Republican Party strategy for federal elections since 2000, mainly because the GOP leadership thinks the issue appeals to its base. The...
