I know the SC Justices are appointed for life, but are there never any circumstances that are questionable?? Or are they always "right." Maybe a legal scholar can enlighten me, cause on the surface it sure does not sound "fair."
I'm not a legal scholar but I am the SC Justice (here on these boards) (
) and I'll give it a shot.
The appointments to the Court are politically motivated. They may not be Republican vs Democrat issues but generally conservative vs liberal issues involving legal matters. The president submits a nominee to the Senate and they will eventually vote on the nominee. This often adds to the political edge that it is supposed to guard against, but I guess it is the best checks and balances that we have.
Personally, I like Diana, Mary and Flo as the best Supremes.
