Please respond to the following:Discuss the impact of Superior Court Justices who serve on the bench for decades. Dothey reflect the prevailing norms better than elected legislatures? State why or why not.The basic reason of lifetime selection is to guarantee the honor of the powerestablished to Court Justices and shield them against unnecessary meddling from anyofthelegislative or executive branch. The express and implied division of the Supreme Court fromthe other branches of Government is consequently upheld. In agreement with the standard ofproviding checks and balances, the executive and legislative branches implement power overthe Supreme Court by, correspondingly, proposing and approving candidates for that body. Inthe highly politicized atmosphere,which has long attended the ostensibly apolitical field ofCourt Justices, Presidents often endeavor to support their agendas by selecting Court Justicenominees approving toward their views. At times, however, the judicial leanings of CourtJustices prove unlike in practice than they had formerly appeared. The policy of lifetimeappointment, therefore, secures a Court Justice against "vengeance" for decisions goingagainst the desires of his or her Presidential backer. In this view, proponents have citedAlexander Hamilton's declaration in the Federalist Papers that "nothing can contribute somuch to its inflexibility and independence as permanency in office".Avariety of concerns have also been raised regarding the conduct in which lifetimeappointment impinges on the office of Supreme Court Justices. One apprehension is that thispolicy encourages the Supreme Court to be subjugated by thinking better fitted to theinfluential years of the Court Justices than to the present-day situation of the United States. Inthis view, the Supreme Court would be better served by more recurrent turnover in itsmembership.Another issue that has been raised is of the psychological capacities of aSupreme Court Justice becoming diminished with age. This likelihood could not possibly fallunder the purview of the condition for "good Behavior" and at hand is not provided for underU.S. law. Criticisms of the general policy of lifetime appointment has also been stoked by thecriticism of precise Supreme court Justices and of theCourt's traditions in general for movingtoward a more legislative, politicized function, which critics might locate less challenging ifoffenders did not linger on the bench for so long.The Constitution has always had several interpretations. Pick one amendment andprovide an interpretation for and against that amendment.The Seventh Amendment guaranties a jury trial for “suits at common law, : whichincludes cases in which private legal rights are determined, but not “equity cases” in which acourt is asked to grant an injunction or to decide a cases based on basic fairness (Szypszak,2011).The Seventh Amendment extends the right to a jury trial to federal civil cases such ascar accidents, disputes among corporations for violation of contract, or most prejudice oremployment disputes. In civil cases, the person bringing the lawsuitseeks money damages ora court order preventing the person being sued from engaging in certain behavior.
