This short article “The senate confirmed Brett
Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Here's where each member stood.” is from Washington Post, contributed by Seung Min Kim and Amber Phillips.
I would like to share it with my fellow classmate, because it coincided with
our reading about the US government. I think it is worth reading, because it reinforce our understanding
about the process of confirmation of a supreme court judge in US. The confirmation
vote of Judge Kavanaugh by the senate put in light the description of “separation
of powers and Checks and Balances” in the US government system. According to
our reading, In US, the national government is divided into three separate
branches with different powers: Executive, Judicial, and Legislative. Each
branch can restrict the powers of the others. Article two of the US
Constitution allows President Trump to have the power to appoint Judge
Kavanaugh as a federal judge, but the Senate must give the consent first. The consent
is given by the senate after a series of hearings to determine the eligibility
of Kavanaugh. After that the senate votes to confirm or reject the appointment
of Kavanaugh as a Supreme Judge.
