Supreme Court Nominations
On July 1st, 2005, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor announced her resignation from the United States Supreme Court. Described as a swing vote on many contentious Supreme Court issues, her replacement has been the subject of much discussion and conjecture. The July 19th announcement of John G. Roberts, Jr. to replace Justice O'Connor, the President's nomination of Roberts to replace Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, and subsequent nominations of Harriet E. Miers and Samuel A. Alito has heightened the interest in the nominations process, the constitutional advice and consent role of the United States Senate, and the importance of the Judicial Branch.
