The U.S. Supreme Court

INSTRUCTIONS:

Presidents take several factors into account in choosing nominees for the U.S. Supreme Court. Senators, in turn, also take a number of factors into account in deciding whether to vote for or vote against confirmation of Supreme Court nominees. Write an essay in which you discuss the factors that President Bush took into account in nominating John Roberts, Harriet Myers, and Samuel Alito to fill recent Supreme Court vacancies. Discuss what the results of these nominations were (i.e., confirmed or not, easy confirmation or close vote?) and why. What factors did senators take into account in voting in favor of or against these nominees? Also discuss the factors that President Obama took into account in nominating Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to fill Supreme Court vacancies. Discuss what the results of these nominations were (i.e., confirmed or not, easy confirmation or close vote?) and why. What factors did senators take into account in voting in favor of or against these nominees? Finally, discuss the the factors that President Trump took into account in nominating Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh to fill Supreme Court vacancies. Also, discuss the circumstances under which the vacancies for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were available for President Trump to fill.  Discuss what the results of these nominations were (i.e., confirmed or not, easy confirmation or close vote?) and why. What factors did senators take into account in voting in favor of or against these nominees? ———————————————————— **will need to single space with double space between paragraphs **will need to use Chicago Style to cite references- can use this link to generate citations: https://www.citationmachine.net/chicago **assignment rubric to be attached
