<<<<Former President Ronald Reagan, the great hero of the modern Republican party, had some choice words for Congress in 1988, the final year of his second term. During an election year, in which Michael Dukakis and George H.W Bush were about to compete for the presidency, President Reagan foresaw the year as the one where Justice Anthony M. Kennedy would be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
The words were as follows:
‘In the year ahead, we’re not going to be on the defensive, shoring up problems and answering our critics. We are moving forward, and I have no doubt that when we look back 1988 will be a year of great accomplishment toward our goals. This is the year when Judge Anthony Kennedy will be confirmed and the Supreme Court will again be brought up to full strength. The Federal judiciary is too important to be made a political football. I would hope, and the American people should expect, not only for Judge Kennedy’s confirmation but for the Senate to get to work and act on 27 other judicial nominations that have been left in limbo for quite awhile now.’>>>>
