President Trump emphasized the significance of judicial appointments by stating, "America's President will choose hundreds of federal judges, and, in all likelihood, one, two, three, and even four Supreme Court justices. The outcome of these decisions will determine whether we hold fast to our nation's founding principles or whether they are lost forever." This underscores how these appointments shape the country's legal landscape and its adherence to foundational values.
In announcing Justice Jackson's nomination, President Biden expressed the need for diversity in the judiciary, stating, "For too long, our government, our courts haven't looked like America. And I believe it's time that we have a Court that reflects the full talents and greatness of our nation with a nominee of extraordinary qualifications." His words highlight the shift towards inclusivity in judicial appointments.
Federalist Paper #78, authored by Alexander Hamilton, pointed out the judiciary's limited power by saying, "The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse... and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments." This indicates that while the judiciary was once seen as weak, its role has transformed significantly over the years.
