The three Supreme Court justices appointed by President Donald J. Trump

have shaped a majority in many cases

that is more moderate than the most conservative justices want.

The Supreme Court’s Newest Justices Produce Some Unexpected Results

In the term so far, including two major decisions on Thursday,

the court’s expanded conservative majority is fractured

and its liberals are often on the winning side.

Members of the Supreme Court in 2010.

As Justice Antonin Scalia noted,

its members are by many measures

remarkably similar,

giving the court the quality of a private club.

presidential appointments to the Supreme Court

The Appointment Clause of the Constitution

(Article II, Section 2, clause 2)

states the President "shall nominate,

and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate,

shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court."

That "advice and consent" role

has meant different things in U.S. history.

In the early days of the republic,

nominees to the court got a passing glance.

The Senate acted speedily,

within about a week,

from the date of nomination to a vote.

But there was

a marked difference after 1967,

the year Thurgood Marshall

was nominated to be the first black

Supreme Court justice.

Post-1967, the median wait time

for a presidential nominee

has ballooned to more than two months.

(Current members of the court

faced an average of 71 days.

That includes Antonin Scalia,

who died at the age of 79 on Saturday.)

And it's very possible, if not probable,

that Obama's nominee to replace Scalia

— and he is pledging to do fulfill

his "constitutional responsibilities" to do so

— will break the record

for the longest wait for a vote in history.

The fight to replace Scalia could be historic,

possibly resulting

in the longest vacancy on the court

since it went to nine justices in 1869.
