xhe inability of Harriet Miers to win confirmation in 2005 was apparently the result of her inability to persuade Republican Senators that she was sufficiently committed to their political convictions.

The Senate Minority Leader, Harry Reid, at the time of her nomination by President Bush released a statement: I like Harriet Miers. As White House Counsel, she has worked with me in a courteous and professional manner. I am also impressed with the fact that she was a trailblazer for women as managing partner of a major Dallas law firm and as the first woman president of the Texas Bar Association. In my view, the Supreme Court would benefit from the addition of a justice who has real experience as a practicing lawyer. The current justices have all been chosen from the lower federal courts. A nominee with relevant nonjudicial experience would bring a different and useful perspective to the Court.

After the confirmation of Justice Samuel Alito, nominated by President Bush after Miers' withdrawal, Senator Reid released another statement: I continue to believe that Harriet Miers received a raw deal. She is an accomplished lawyer, a trailblazer for women and a strong advocate of legal services for the poor. Not only was she denied the up-down vote that my Republican colleagues say every nominee deserves, but she was never even afforded the chance to make her case to the Judiciary Committee.

Judicial elections are a special problem, but the negative consequence of the Court's derivation of the one man, one vote rule from the Equal Protection Clause should not be ignored. That decision has increased the manipulation of district boundaries by legislators diminishing the vulnerability of elected bodies to popular influence. In Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533, 568-71 (1964, the Court held that a state constitution providing that an upper house in the legislature seating representatives from each county did not meet the requirements of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteendi Amendment. On the current state of the issue, see Guy-Uriel E. Charles, Democracy and Distortion, 92 CORNELL L. REV. 601 (2007, arguing that the Supreme Court's regulation of political gerrymandering can be justified);

In 1972 the ABA published its Model Code of Judicial Conduct that was intended to be enforced by a disciplinary system. An important aim of the Code was to protect the independence of the elected judiciary by forbidding those campaign practices most likely to call the integrity and disinterest of the candidates into public question. Judges have been subjected to discipline for gross violations of such rules. See, e.g, William Glaberson, States Rein in Truth-Bending in Court Races: Judges Face Penalties for Deceiving Voters, N.Y. TIMES, Aug. 23, 2000, at Al Across the country, judges are being fined, censured, and even threatened with removal for practicing that venerable political art: exaggerating or outright lying during a campaign
-
In 1972 the ABA published its Model Code of Judicial Conduct that was intended to be enforced by a disciplinary system. An important aim of the Code was to protect the independence of the elected judiciary by forbidding those campaign practices most likely to call the integrity and disinterest of the candidates into public question. Judges have been subjected to discipline for gross violations of such rules. See, e.g., William Glaberson, States Rein in Truth-Bending in Court Races: Judges Face Penalties for Deceiving Voters, N.Y. TIMES, Aug. 23, 2000, at Al ("Across the country, judges are being fined, censured, and even threatened with removal for practicing that venerable political art: exaggerating or outright lying during a campaign.").

Despite the support of both parties and an array of other organizations, it was soundly rejected by the voters. See John D.

There have been times when clerks' roles were elevated by disabilities of aging Justices requiring greater delegation. The post-1970 era, has featured two especially stark examples of judicial failure: the publicly visible mental disability of Justice William O. Douglas in 1975 following a serious stroke, and the far less dramatic scandal of Justice Harry A. Blackmun increasingly allowing his law clerks to hold greater and greater sway over his opinions during the 1980s and early 1990s. In addition, at least three other justices since 1970, Hugo Black, Lewis Powell, Thurgood Marshall, have suffered mental decrepitude that seriously impaired their ability to do their jobs, David J. Garrow, Protecting and Enhancing the U.S. Supreme Court, in REFORMING THE COURT: TERM LIMITS FOR SUPREME COURTS JUSTICES, supra note 5, at 271, 273 citations omitted

Justice O'Connor has also been critical of this type of percolation in certain cases. See Johnson v. Texas, 509 U.S. 350, 378-79 (1993) (O'Connor, J., dissenting). No state has opted for the idea of percolation, and it seems unlikely that anyone would propose such a scheme to Congress or any other legislature. Although much empirical work has been done on the Court's selection of cases, no example has yet been found of a legal issue that the Court resolved more wisely because it was left to percolate at the expense of citizens burdened by the continuing uncertainty and the cost of litigation.

Alex Konzinski, Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit, testified to the House Judiciary Committee that unpublished opinions are simply a letter to the parties telling them who won and who lost, and why. Issuing such opinions instead of full-blown rulings requiring many drafts, Kozinski said, frees us up to spend the time that needs to be spent on published opinions, the ones that actually shape the law. Tony Mauro, Courts Move Forward on Citation Change, LEGAL TIMES, May 26, 2003, at 8 [hereinafter Mauro, Courts Move Forward]. But his simple letter is the judicial task - to which shaping the law is a coincidental consequence and not the primary mission of this semi-superlegislature.

Too many unresolved inter-circuit conflicts resulted in differing law being applied in different states. Delay in the resolution of many issues for federal law imposed costs and resulted in years of uncertainty, confusion and, forum shopping by litigants. Id. at 218.

The Supreme Court, which decided about 175 cases a year on the merits in 1975, was then reviewing fewer than one percent of the cases decided by the federal courts of appeals - a percentage that many informed persons thought was inadequate to provide needed supervision and guidance. Today, the Court decides less than one-tenth of one percent of the approximately 10,000 filings per year from all federal and state courts, nearly all of which are certiorari petitions. See SUPREME COURT OF THE U.S., THE JUSTICES' CASELOAD, http://www.supremecourtus.gov/about/jus- ticecaseload.pdf (last visited Jan. 30, 2009);
