What are two methods interest groups use to influence the appointment of US Supreme Court nominees?
AnswerThe different interest groups of our country may influence the appointment process in many ways. One is donations. If any interest group, say an environmental one donates a lot of money to the appointment process then of course the nominee that is pro environment will take the seat. Another way is smear campaigns. Simply smear campaigns is the process where interest groups damage the reputation of not only supreme court nominees but also any politician. This does not so much, but what it does is makes the opinion of the public change and that is what causes the nominee's reputation to be damaged.Interest groups only have influence over Supreme Court nominations to the extent that they control the President or potentially affect his reelection, if applicable. The expectations of constituents and broad demographic groups are more likely to factor into the decision-making process than campaign contributions (you can't donate directly to the appointment process, as suggested above), and it may be necessary to compromise with the majority power in the Senate, if that party differs from the President's."Smear campaigns" are more relevant to the electoral process, because such tactics are intentionally targeted at people who either can't, or won't, research the issues for themselves. Public criticism of a Supreme Court nominee, who is removed from the popular election process, has more impact on people's perceptions of the President and the president's political party than on the nomination process.
