During Cliff
Richard Nixon’s aides were grown in a long series of historic Supreme Court last week. However, they said in a quiet, self-commiseration, the Senate quarreled for four months in 1916 before confirming Louis Brandeis’ appointment and whatever cavils seen at Brandeis has a long career on a difference of Bank.
In this case, Judge Clement Haynsworth, but the attitude of the White House-a combination of stolidity and nervous, such as optimism seemed more pipe in the dark. Although the Senate Judiciary Committee last week evacuated Haynsworth’s nomination to the Supreme Court in a vote of 10 to 7, objections against the appointment has been gathering force, especially among Republicans. At the end of the week, the harsh voice against Haynsworth among the 43 GOP senators numbered at least 14 and more than nine or ten were undecided. Nixon did not have the support promised in the past half his party’s senators. An Associated Press poll counted 46 senators against confirmation, 33 and 21 undecided. If the figures are correct, the opposition, to take only five of the undecided members Carolinian block south of confirmation.
It was the G.O.P. Of the Senate resulted in a large part of the new damage to Haynsworth thing. Minority Leader Hugh Scott has supported so far judges, but unfortunately, until next year election, Scott is not afraid to alienate blacks and union members in his state of the industry with the support of a jurist, a antilabor, anti-image rights of citizens (the law). Party was unable to maintain fidelity or Assistant Minority Leader Robert Griffin of Michigan or Maine’s Margaret Chase Smith, chairman of the Senate GOP conference. Two of them announced they would vote against confirmation.
No double standards. Griffin led the fight against the Senate for approval Abe FORTAS ‘nominee for chief justice during the past year, felt, it can not have a double standard of judicial ethics. “Because confidence in the judicial system is so important in this period of our history,” he said, “I think it was an unfortunate mistake for the administration to submit the nomination.”
The opposition was to encourage more if the American Bar Association, the origin of care Haynsworth nomination, announced that they would have another look at the qualifications of judges. The review will focus on the alleged insensitivity Haynsworth against potential conflicts of interest. A reassessment by the negative A.B.A. would inevitably bring a lot of invalid votes in the column of the opposition.
Also harmful number of comments were deprived of Bernard Siegel, former president of the AB A. ‘committee Justice of the Federal Republic. Siegel is deeply shocked by Haynsworth nomination, adoption, it violates the principles he tries to access to justice committee. While it is still president of the group, let the seal of knowing, it would probably testify against the nomination to the Senate hearings.
