Confirmation bias

inside Washington's war over the Supreme Court from Scalia's death to Justice Kavanaugh

Confirmation bias

inside Washington's war over the Supreme Court from Scalia's death to Justice Kavanaugh
Carl Hulse
Book - 2019

The embodiment of American conservative thought and jurisprudence, Antonin Scalia cast an expansive shadow over the Supreme Court for three decades. His unexpected death in February 2016 created a vacancy that precipitated a pitched political fight. That battle would not only change the tilt of the court, but the course of American history. It would help decide a presidential election, fundamentally alter longstanding protocols of the United States Senate, and transform the Supreme Court<U+2014>which has long held itself as a neutral arbiter above politics<U+2014>into another branch of the federal government riven by partisanship. In an unprecedented move, the Republican-controlled Senate, led by majority leader, Mitch McConnell, refused to give Democratic President Barack Obama<U+2019>s nominee, Merrick Garland, a confirmation hearing. Not one Republican in the Senate would meet with him. Scalia<U+2019>s seat would be held open until Donald Trump<U+2019>s nominee, Neil M. Gorsuch, was confirmed in April 2017.
