- Mandate supermajority votes in Senate for all judicial candidates
3/5ths or 2/3rds (like most Constitutional supermajorities)? If 2/3rds, you can pretty much guarantee that the federal judiciary will end up pretty much completely vacant.
2/3rds. Obviously that would go in hand with my other proposed reforms, the idea being towards guaranteeing consensus nominees
How do guarantee consensus nominees? Just curious...
Well, nothing is ever guaranteed. But having a higher threshold for confirmation would presumably shift one away from more controversial/ideological candidates. There’d still be conservative or liberal judges, sure, but it wouldn’t be the kind of rubber stamp stuff we see now
