Pioneer of the Rebirth Era
Chapter 1,382 I stood aside and watched
The reason why little Jack was so anxious to find Casto was because something big happened last night. Chief Justice William Hubbs of the Federal Supreme Court suddenly fell seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital.
William is 81 years old. It stands to reason that it is not unusual for such an old man to be sick and go to the hospital, even if it is severe. After all, he is already so old.
But if this old man is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, everything will be different. You must know that there are 9 justices in the Federal Supreme Court, and one chief justice is composed of 8 judges.
And these nine people are not only the highest adjudicators of the U.S. courts, but they are also tenured for life. In other words, if they do not resign, these people can be the highest adjudicators for their entire lives.
Since the establishment of the Supreme Court, few judges have voluntarily resigned. Therefore, every election of judges and successors basically wait until the predecessor dies before taking office.
For such an important power confrontation at the top of the pyramid, even if a certain milestone enters twilight years, or even the countdown of life begins, everyone on all sides is well prepared.
But every time before an election and a successor is ready to take office, all kinds of games are still so fierce that it is unimaginable. This time, Chief Justice William is equally important. You can imagine the shock to all walks of life in the United States.
"What do you want me to do?" Casto put a blanket over his body. The air conditioner in the room was turned on very much. He felt a little cold now that he had been doused with ice water.
"How was it when you were asked to contact the judges in Washington, D.C., on the grounds of some lawsuits?" Little Jack asked.
The unique laws and laws of the United States have made many lawyers or judges famous, and some are even more popular than celebrities. Among the judges in various states and regions, the judges in Washington, DC are undoubtedly a very special existence.
The judges in this place are special not only because Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States. But also because the judges in Washington, D.C. are known as the cradle of Supreme Court judges.
Most of the nine justices of the Supreme Court are selected from the judges in Washington, DC. Therefore, once a justice of the Supreme Court dies and there is a handover, it can be said that the judges in Washington, DC have great hopes.
candidate.
"We have just been working together for less than two months, and I have spent most of my time trying to find ways to leave evidence against myself for all the bad things you did in the past. I have only been to Washington twice.
, what do you think the outcome of my friendship will be?" Casto looked at little Jack.
Brother Jie couldn't help but touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. He knew he was anxious. But there was no way that the chief justice was suddenly seriously ill. The news was released too suddenly and he couldn't be anxious. After all, he was the chief justice of the Supreme Court.
Judge, one of the small group of people at the top of the American power pyramid.
Seeing Little Jack calm down, even though someone broke into the room in the middle of the night and poured a bucket of ice water on him, he understood that he and Little Jack were now grasshoppers tied to a rope.
Castor pondered for a moment and then said, "It's actually useless to contact the judges in Washington, D.C. right now. The president has several years left in his term, and his poll ratings have always been very high.
Therefore, even if Judge William passes away after this illness, the position of chief justice is estimated to be appointed by the president himself. Given the current situation in the country, as long as he makes the nomination, there will be no objection from the Senate.
So instead of looking at the judges in Washington, D.C., who is more promising, you might as well go and find out who our president prefers."
The justices of the Supreme Court are indeed lifelong and have the power to veto various and even presidential bills. But before taking office, the president has a certain say in who can sit in this position, and the Senate also has the right to decide. Because
They can veto the president's nomination.
In short, before you sit on that position, you do not have the power of a justice. To be able to sit on it, you must get the approval of the president and then be confirmed by the Senate.
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Little Jack asked.
Although he decided to bet on the next president, this does not prevent him from cooperating with this president. However, in the past, he could still talk to the president on an equal footing, but now he has been declining due to the continuous decline of the consortium behind him in recent years.
When facing Mr. President again, my confidence is undoubtedly not as strong as before. But as a consortium that still exists, there is still a lot of room for cooperation in a roundabout way.
After all, although the financial resources of the consortium have declined drastically in recent years, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The consortium still has representatives in the Senate, and the number is not just one or two.
Compared with the old conglomerate bosses in the east who have continued to grow stronger in recent years, the consortium behind him may be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and control of power. But it is still enough to bring these people out to talk to the president.
“Let’s start with the legal team around him. Whether it’s the consultants currently helping him handle legal issues, the legal team, or even the legal people who helped him during the previous election campaign, they may be one of the candidates.
Of course, if there are such legal professionals and have become judges in Washington, D.C., then you need to pay more attention. Others...I can't think of other possibilities for the time being." Casto was silent for a moment.
He spoke.
Don't think about how fair and just the laws of the United States are. It is a very common operation for the president to nominate someone close to him to sit in that position.
Even after that person sits in that position, as a justice, he cannot be as obedient as he is now and will express some of his own opinions, some of which may even be contrary to him.
But with the basis of the close relationship before, both parties will definitely be able to come up with a very harmonious relationship, and there will be some conveniences that everyone agrees to. Therefore, these justices will only appear among people that the President is optimistic about. This is the power of the President.
The president is currently very shrewd and will obviously not be so foolish as to suggest that the opponent's favorite people come to power at this time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I will find these people, otherwise you will be the first to contact me, and I will follow up later." Little Jack nodded, very satisfied with Castor's guess.
Because basically there are no candidates left in this circle.
"The time is still too short, this matter is not easy to handle." Casto said with a frown.
He didn't think that the things he analyzed would become top secrets. Only the people in the room knew about them and no one else knew about them.
He can analyze this possibility, and others can also analyze it. Do you really think that the staff of those politicians are vegetarians?
Therefore, the purpose of contacting these legal professionals at this time is more obvious than the sun on a sunny day. Not only will the price paid be high, but the expected results may not be achieved.
"Time is really tight, so you have to work quickly. William may die at any time, and we don't have much time to waste.
And although time is tight, there is no room for maneuver in this matter. After all, we are a consortium, and the president does have the right to nominate, and even has certain decision-making power.
But this nomination and decision-making power is not unique to the president. He still has his own opponents, and if he has opponents, he needs helpers.
I think we will become useful helpers to Mr. President. You see, this is the prerequisite for cooperation." Little Jack spread his hands, and the serious look on his face gradually relaxed.
"There is indeed a basis for cooperation. Now you'd better pray that William can live a little longer. This way you can have more time to argue with Mr. President and get more benefits."
Castor shrugged, "Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, I'm going to bed, and I'm going to call a few more girls with hot bodies. Do you need me to order one for you?"
Little Jack stood up and tidied his clothes, frowned at the illegal drugs scattered on the table and on the ground, "Before I need you, you'd better cherish your body and live well, otherwise even if
Then if you die, the consequences will not be something you can bear."
Casto, who originally stretched out his hand towards the marijuana cigarette on the table with a questioning look on his face, seemed to be saying, "Would you like to have one together?" His expression instantly froze, and his outstretched hand stopped.
Little Jack sneered and glanced at Castor, turned around and walked out of the room. The bodyguard behind him politely closed the door, and the room fell into silence for a while.
...
After the meeting between Barcelona and the club's top management, Yang Dongxu, who was about to go to dinner, received a call from the United States. Hearing the news on the phone, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Then he shook his head and hung up the phone, "You really think highly of me, and you want to ask my opinion on such a matter. I have Mao's opinion, and I can't even interfere with the number of seats in the Senate, let alone the selection of the justice.
.”
The caller was from the Kennedy family and asked what he thought about the matter of the justice's successor.
How else can I read it? Of course I can read it with a newspaper, lie down or sit down to read it. Anyway, I am not qualified to participate in anything, but it is true that this matter has a big impact. Although I am not capable of getting involved, I can take advantage of the opportunity.
You can take this opportunity to do other things.
For example, if he is not qualified to participate in this matter, Jack Jr. and the Kennedy family are definitely qualified to participate. So it is a good time to use this matter in exchange for some other resources.
But if he wants the 'power' in the hands of these two companies to help him exchange for some other resources, the price will definitely not be too low. So this phone call asks him what he thinks, and it is understood that it is no problem to ask him what price he is willing to pay.
"What's the matter?" Li Fujin walked over while looking at Yang Dongxu who had hung up the phone and stood there in a daze.
"It's nothing big. By the way, Qiao An said that he is going to organize a cocktail party tomorrow. Some celebrities from Barcelona's upper class and government officials will be invited to attend. Please prepare in advance and accompany me there." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"What gifts do I need to prepare?"
In the West, it is not customary to follow one's family members' money, but if you go to a friend's house for a banquet or something, bringing a small gift can be regarded as a form of respect for the host's family.
Reciprocity is also very popular in the West. For example, if you move to a new house, if you don't treat your neighbors to a meal or give you some small gifts, these people will look at you wrong all day long.
"Qiao An has a daughter who is in high school. You can buy her the latest and fastest MP4 from Dongxu Technology."
When giving gifts, the price of the gift can be lower, but it must be sincere and meaningful so that the host will like it more. If there are children at home, giving gifts to children will undoubtedly be more popular than giving gifts to adults.
