Current affairs perspective
On September 18, the Supreme Court Justice Kingsberg died at the age of 87.This news not only occupies the front page of major media in the United States, but also stimulates the defense between the left and right factions in the Chinese intellectual community.The accident may add several variables to the US election in November.
As one of the separation of the three powers, the United States Justice, although its status is extremely lofty, can rire to the current president without fear, including Trump's behavior, but most of them are hidden from the public vision, Kingsberg is aSuper exception.In the minds of civil rights and liberals, she is a public phenomenon.I used to educate her daughter with her as an example. If anyone attempts to make any discrimination against her with gender, she should use Kingsberg's life as a reference to have the same gender as her gender as men.Rights come forward bravely.
Kingsberg explained the journey of the American leftist intellectuals and witnessed the victory of American liberalism.In the early days, she used legal means to actively defend women's rights, leaving a series of milestone civil rights lawsuits for the United States, and made great contributions to the benefits of American women and minority groups.Since being nominated by the Democratic President Clinton in 1993 as the Supreme Court Justice, she has also left an equally clear brand in the highest title that this American legal profession can get.
Although the United States is separated from the three powers, the administrative power represented by the president has always been the heaviest. Congress is second, and the actual power of the Supreme Court is the weakest.Influence.In contrast, the important policy of the United States in history, such as the elimination of racial isolation, is often related to several such rulings.
Therefore, the two parties in the United States always regard the right to appointment of judges, especially the Supreme Court Justice as an important part of the future of the party's future lifeline.In the past, the Supreme Court of the United States Supreme Court could overall political neutrality, because there were clear restrictions in the regulations of the United States judges to stop the judge's direct participation in politics, especially for the direct comments of the presidential candidate.
Even if the judge personally has a tendency to conservative and freedom, as a representative of the three powers, the most abstract power of the three powers, does not do a neutrality for the party to send a team and try to maintain neutrality, it reflects the basic ethics of the law itself.
At this point, Kingsberg, who has a hot personality and extremely distinctive left, is directly negatively commented on the candidate Trump at the time of the presidential election in the last presidential election.precedent.She eventually apologized, but after that, the two parties in the appointment of judges and other competitions in the judicial world can be described as more and more hot and superficial.
At present, there are nine major judges in the Supreme Court of the United States. Because the US President has the right to appoint the judges (in the end to be reviewed and approved by the Senate), this appointment also has extremely strong party colors.As far as the current judges are concerned, five of them are appointed by the Republican president, and the four are appointed by the Democratic President. The conservative and freedom tendencies are generally defined.Once Trump successfully appointed a conservative judge again, the balance of judicial power of the US Supreme Court will completely fall to the right -wing conservatives.
Even if Trump cannot be re -elected this year, his four -year political heritage will far exceed many steps to step down as President of the United States, including his power to transform the power of US legislation.
Since 2014, the Republican Party has been controlling a majority seat that can pass or refute that the President's right to appoint the Great Justice. Therefore, in addition to the two Supreme Court Justice, Trump has appointed more than 200According to Article 3 of the United States Constitution, the president can be appointed, the Senate is reviewed, and the same is the lasting federal judge.All these judicial fields can see the impact of Trump on the future politics of the United States. Even if they cannot get re -election, they will exceed these four years.
After the death of Kingsberg, the US Senate Republican leader McConnell immediately said that he would start the vacancy of the Supreme Court as soon as possible; and Democratic President's candidate Biden stated that he should be appointed after the new president was elected.According to reports, Kingsberg's last wish is to wait until the new presidential election dust is settled before confirming his successor candidates.
It can be seen that although the ideal state of the goddess of justice is covered, the reality incarnation of the goddess of justice is the great woman who struggles for life for life.Essence
