    Florida's Supreme Court Justicew

    FLORIDA’S SUPREME COURT JUSTICES Charles T. Canady Chief Justice Justice Canady was appointed to the Florida Supreme Court in August 2008. He served as chief justice from 2010 – 2012 and, since July 1, 2018, has been serving as chief for a second time. Born in Lakeland, Florida, Justice Canady has the unusual distinction of having served in all three branches of government. Returning to Lakeland after receiving his BA from Haverford College and his JD from Yale Law School, he went into private practice, concentrating on real estate law. In 1984, he successfully ran for a seat in the Florida House and served for three terms. Then in 1993, he was elected to the US House, serving until 2001. Throughout his tenure in Congress, he was a member of the House Judiciary Committee, which sparked his interest in appellate work; he chaired the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution from 1995 to 2001. After leaving Washington, DC, he returned to Florida and settled in Tallahassee, where he served as the governor’s general counsel. In 2002, he was appointed to the Second District Court of Appeal, where he remained until his appointment to the Florida Supreme Court. Justice Canady and his wife, Jennifer Houghton, have two children. Ricky Polston Justice Justice Polston was appointed to the Florida Supreme Court in October 2008, and he served as chief justice from 2012 – 2014. A native of Graceville, Florida, Justice Polston grew up on a farm that raised peanuts, watermelon, and cattle. He began his professional life as a certified public accountant: he received his BS in accounting from Florida State University in 1977 and developed a thriving career (in fact, he is still a licensed CPA).

    Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee, on Cloture on the Nomination of Caitlin Halligan to the D.C

    Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee, On Cloture On The Nomination Of Caitlin Halligan to the D.C. Circuit December 5, 2011 Tomorrow the Senate should be holding an up-or-down vote on the long-delayed nomination of Caitlin Halligan to fill one of three vacancies on the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Instead, for the seventh time since President Obama took office 34 months ago, we are required to overcome a Republican filibuster for the Senate to consider one of President Obama’s superbly qualified judicial nominees. Ms. Halligan, President Obama’s first nominee to the important D.C. Circuit, is the former Solicitor General for the State of New York. With an impressive record in private practice and public service, she is widely respected for the quality of her work as an advocate. Indeed, Ms. Halligan’s nomination was greeted with bipartisan support and has since garnered endorsements from law enforcement officials and organizations, women’s organizations, law school deans and professors, judges and preeminent lawyers from across the political spectrum. The Judiciary Committee favorably reported Ms. Halligan’s nomination nearly nine months ago. By any traditional standard, she is the kind of superbly qualified nominee who should easily have been confirmed by the Senate months ago with the support of both Republicans and Democrats. I am disappointed that yet again instead of seeing bipartisan cooperation we are required to seek cloture. New Standards for President Obama’s Judicial Nominations From the beginning of the Obama administration, we have seen Senate Republicans shift significantly away from the standards they used to apply to the judicial nominations of a Republican President.

Article Tie Votes in the Supreme Court Justin Pidot† INTRODUCTION What should the Supreme Court do with a tie vote? Since at least 1792, the Court has followed the rule that where the Justices are evenly divided, the lower court’s decision is af- firmed, and the Supreme Court’s order has no precedential ef- fect.1 Such cases are unusual but hardly scarce. Since 1866, an odd number of Justices have composed the Supreme Court, and when an odd number of individuals vote, that vote typically doesn’t result in a tie.2 Yet due to death, retirement, or recusal, there have been 164 tie votes in the Supreme Court between 1925 and 2015.3 These ties have largely, but not entirely, gone unnoticed, in part because few of them involved particularly contentious cases in the eye of the public.4 † Associate Professor, University of Denver Sturm College of Law.

FALSITIES ON THE SENATE FLOOR * The Honorable John Cornyn ** Throughout last night's historic round-the-clock session of the United States Senate, a partisan minority of senators defended their filibusters against the President's judicial nominees by mak- ing two basic arguments. Both were false. First, they claim that the Senate's record of "168-4"-168 judges confirmed, 4 filibustered (so far)-somehow proves that the cur- rent filibuster crisis is mere politics as usual.1 But, as I explained in an op-ed yesterday, this is not politics as usual; it is politics at its worst.2 * An earlier version of this Article was originally published on the National Review Online website on November 13, 2003.
