Should Supreme Court Justices be elected
For this Written Assignment you will be writing a 1-2-page paper. You
are REQUIRED to use a minimum of 2 (two) outside sources to support your
points in your paper.
Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President and ratified by
Congress. This process is very politically charged. Remember, a Supreme
Court Justice is appointed for life and the cases and issue that get
addressed are usually extremely important.
Should Supreme Court Justices be elected? How could this potentially
impact issues decided by the Court (provide at least one specific
example)? Should there be a process for removing a Justice from the
Court?
What role does politics play in the appointment process and how should this be regulated if at all?
Select an issue that has been address or is likely to be addressed by
the Supreme Court and discuss the criteria and the path required for
that issue to make it to the Supreme Court. What issue do you think the
Supreme Court needs to address? How does the make up of the Supreme
Court influence the decision?
