A Supreme Court Vacancy

With the resignation of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the focus is now on President Bush to nominate a replacement to the high court who will be faced with some of the most important issues of our day.

ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow is on the front lines in this nomination battle.  Jay is working with Boyden Gray, Counsel to former President Bush; Ed Meese, Attorney General under Ronald Reagan; and Leonard Leo from the Federalist Society. 

With President Bush poised to name a nominee, we believe he should stand firm and dismiss the political maneuvering of the left.  President Bush should fulfill his constitutional obligations and nominate a Justice who will not legislate from the bench, but interpret the Constitution. 

The President has a historic opportunity to chart the direction of the Supreme Court of the United States for generations to come.  The Presidents legacy will include his Supreme Court nominations.  With the prospect of two nominations coming in the relative short term, the opportunity to shift the direction of the Court is even more significant.  Our office in Washington, DC, is working with the Senate leadership in order to make sure a fair confirmation process takes place.  More updates as they become available.
