		Throughout much of the history of the United States, the Supreme Court of the United States was clearly the least powerful branch of the government, just as is often considered the Founding Fathers' intention, and nominations to that body, although important, were not the source of great political controversy as they are today.
		At the same time, Reid stated that the nomination of any of the previously filibustered appellate nominees would be viewed by the Democrats as "a poke in the eye with a sharp stick" [19].

		But the discourse about the crucial issues of the Supreme Court and constitutional interpretation, I will argue, has fallen far short of the relatively high bar the candidates have set on other issues.
		Instead, he mainly dispensed the pabulum on which more liberal candidates usually rely: He said he was not looking for conservatives or liberals to put on the Supreme Court, but rather judges distinguished by their well-reasoned opinions.

	O'Connor to Retire, Touching Off Battle Over Court - New York Times
		WASHINGTON, July 1 - Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court and a critical swing vote on abortion and a host of other divisive social issues, announced Friday that she was retiring, setting up a tumultuous fight over her successor.
		After months in which speculation about the Supreme Court focused on the likelihood of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist's stepping down, the retirement of Justice O'Connor, 75, caught much of Washington, including the White House and her colleagues on the court, off guard.
		Justice O'Connor's decision creates the first vacancy on the court in 11 years, ending the longest period without a change in the lineup of justices since the 1820's, and it provides President Bush with his first opportunity to name a Supreme Court justice.
