Journal Title: PRZEGLĄD SEJMOWY - Year 2016, Vol 134, Issue 3
Abstract
The article aims at analyzing legal and political sources, as well as consequences of the current conflict between President Barack Obama and Republican Senators over the vacancy in the Supreme Court after the death of Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. The Republican Party fears that the nomination made by Democratic president will shift the Court to the left, which, considering active judicial review by the Court, will have a crucial meaning for social, political and economic relations in the country. The article defi nes legal and political relations between the executive and legislative departments in the context of Supreme Court appointments, leading to findings concerning possible solution to the conflict and facing the problem of politicization of constitutional courts.
