Paper Summary:
The paper discusses the appointment and unanimous confirmation of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court. The paper shows how O'Connor demonstrated the fact that women, especially women of caliber, had every right to come and go from the workplace without sanction. The paper also looks at how O'Connor was integral to several monumental court decisions. The paper concludes that O'Connor proved her worth as a justice and demonstrated immense skill in the resolution of extremely difficult legal questions posed to the court.From the Paper:
"Traditionally nominations to the supreme court have been a very political act of the executive branch of government, as it is a singular power of the president that frequently goes by with only limited challenges from congress and the nomination if approved is a nomination for life, unless the justice chooses to step down. The legacy, therefore of the Supreme Court appointment can be long and prosperous for a president as they tend to seek out candidates who share commonalities with themselves and their political party and the opportunity of a president to nominate a Supreme Court Justice does not come frequently due to the length of the office."Sample of Sources Used:
