Die Reaktionen auf die Sotomayor-Supreme-Court-Nominierung

ADVERTISEMENTS
Es ist unnötig zu erwähnen, dass die notwendige Neubesetzung eines Postens im Obersten Gerichtshof in den USA (seit jeher) einen völlig anderen Stellenwert besitzt als hierzulande. Auch wenn man das Gefühl bekommen kann, dass die Mitglieder des BVerfG, namentlich dessen Präsident, in letzter Zeit "politischer", jedenfalls aber "in der öffentlichen Debatte sichtbarer" zu Werke schreiten, sind wir immer noch lichtjahreweit von einer SCOTUSsierung entfernt. Der Boston Globe schreibt nun über den "Wahlkampf" der beiden Lager im Vorfeld:
The Judicial Confirmation Network produced a video, appearing only online for now, titled "Who is Sonia Sotomayor?" that has the hallmarks of an 11th-hour negative campaign ad: grainy footage, dramatic sound effects, and controversial quotes from Sotomayor - including one from a 2001 speech on why "a wise Latina woman" on the bench would reach better conclusions than a white judge.

A female announcer concludes, "Equal justice under law, or under attack? America deserves better."

By contrast, "Justice," the 30-second ad sponsored by the Coalition for Constitutional Values, weaves audio of Obama's speeches on what he wants in a Supreme Court nominee with flattering photos of Sotomayor and details about her qualifications, including her journey from a single-parent household in a New York City housing project to the federal bench, her Ivy League education, and her experience as a prosecutor, trial judge, and corporate litigator.
Umfangreiche Berichterstattung, insbesondere zu den ersten 24 Stunden nach dem Bekanntwerden der Nominierung von Sonia Sotomayor durch Präsident Obama (vgl. zum Zeitraum bis zur Bestätigung diese Statistik), liefert - wen wird es überraschen - "Clerquette" vom SCOTUS-Groupie-Blawg "Underneath Their Robes" (siehe insbesondere diesen Artikel). Abermals: Undenkbar hierzulande.
