Who did Chief Justice Anthony m. Kennedy replace?
President George W. Bush nominated Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., to replace the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who died in office. Roberts assumed the bench in 2005, and is the incumbent Chief Justice. Ironically, he was a law clerk for Rehnquist in the 1970's. President Bush nominated Justice Samuel Alito in 2006 to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who retired in January of that year. Alito is also an incumbent.
What president appointed Justice Samuel A Alito?
Samuel Alito is an Italian-American who was born in Trenton, NJ, and grew up in Hamilton Township, one of the city's suburbs. He attended Steinart High School, then received a BA from Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1972. Alito went on to attend Yale Law School, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal, and received his Juris Doctor in 1975.Alito was politically active as a student, and supported both traditional liberal and conservative platforms. He opposed domestic intelligence gathering, criminalization of homosexual acts, and hiring discrimination against gays. He also fought against affirmative action.After law school, Alito clerked for three Circuit judges, then became an Assistant US Attorney where he specialized in prosecuting drug trafficking and organized crime. From 1981-1985, Alito served as Assistant Solicitor General, and argued twelve cases on behalf of the United States government before the US Supreme Court.President George H. W. Bush nominated Alito to the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1990. During his time on the bench, he also taught as an adjunct law professor at Seton Hall.President George W. Bush nominated Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court in 2005 to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who retired in January 2006. The ACLU formally opposed Alito's nomination, a serious vote of no confidence taken only three times in the Court's history (the most recent prior to Alito was Robert Bork). In their letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, the civil rights organization expressed concern about Bush administration security policies that infringed civil liberties and stated, "Judge Alito's record shows a willingness to support government actions that abridge individual freedoms."The American Bar Association, on the other hand, voted him "Well Qualified."The Democrats attempted to filibuster to prevent the Senate vote, but were overridden. Alito was commissioned by a narrow margin of 58-42, the second closest vote on the current Court behind Justice Thomas who was confirmed 52-48.Alito is widely considered a conservative who favors Federalism and who routinely votes against plaintiffs in discrimination claims. Alito broke with the conservative justices in 2008, however, when he sided with the progressive faction in Gomez-Perez v. Potter, 553 US ___ (2008), supporting the right of workers to pursue age discrimination suits.
