Identify two individuals whom you feel are likely to be nominated to the Court by President Biden when he has the opportunity and provide a rationale for each individual’s nomination in terms of the president’s political agenda.

So, for Assignment 2, the stage is set for President Biden to make his first nominations for positions on the Supreme Court. Your assignment is to do two things:

1. develop a model of what specific type individual President Joseph Biden desires to appoint to the Court. You have to develop some evidence regarding his first two nominations. Your analysis must move beyond slogans such as liberal – what is exactly meant by that construct or others that you develop. You can access the White House website for speeches in which the president or others discuss what type individual he thinks should serve on the court along with articles discussing possible vacancies and the Biden agenda. Once you have developed your profile; Google “Biden Supreme Court nominees” for lists of possible future nominees. The Federalist Society put together the original list Trump worked from but no such list appears to be collected for Biden. You are to read the articles and biographies available plus any others to which you have accessed.

2. Identify two individuals whom you feel are likely to be nominated to the Court by President Biden when he has the opportunity and provide a rationale for each individual’s nomination in terms of the president’s political agenda. You must be aware of the political problem of whether the individual can be confirmed or not. Your analysis should be very specific as to the several potential nominees being considered and why the chosen ones were selected.
