| Summary: | Summarizes the constitutional authority of Congress and the judiciary, including the court's role as legislative-executive "umpire" and Federal-State "referee" in our constitutional system, its role in statutory interpretation, and the diverse ways Congress may "check and balance" the judiciary. Reviews current controversies associated with the judicial nominations process, describes the "nuclear" or "constitutional" option for ending judicial filibusters and the compromise that averted use of this procedural maneuver in the Senate; and presents several observations about the judicial nominations process. |
