In a Trenton Times guest opinion, public policy analyst Carl Golden examines one reform, for setting a timetable in which the Senate must act to confirm a nominee. New Jersey has a system for nominating and confirming top judges that is similar to the model used by the federal government. Under New Jersey s system, the governor nominates a judge subject to Senate confirmation, and a single senator can block the nomination of an individual from his or her home county under a tradition called courtesy. This system, Golden says, is ripe for stalemate, as shown by the recent standoff between Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, and Democrats controlling the Senate. It s gotten so bad that to some, it appears the state Supreme Court nomination process has become totally politicized: Officers of the state Bar Association, as well as several former judges and judiciary officials, fretted publicly that the court system had become just another campaign stop resembling a candidate s shaking hands at a local diner. Golden appears favorable to a proposal which has not gained political traction in the past, for a constitutional amendment that would require the Senate to act on judicial nominations within a set time period, or automatic confirmation would follow. Several states are considering legislation to move away from merit-based selection of judges toward a system like that used in New Jersey and Washington, D.C. Bert Brandenburg, JAS executive director, wrote in a USA Today op-ed about this legislation, Given the broken system practiced in our nation s capital, it s hard to imagine why state capitals would even consider embracing Washingtonstyle gridlock. The real surprise is that lawmakers in more states are moving in that direction.
