The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Little Jack was in such a hurry to find Castor because a major incident happened last night. The chief justice of the Federal Supreme Court, William Habbs, suddenly became seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital.

William is 81 years old. It stands to reason that it is not uncommon for such an old man to be admitted to the hospital even if he is seriously ill. 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 a total of 9 justices in the Federal Supreme Court, and a chief justice is composed of 8 judges.

And these nine people are not only the highest arbitrators of the US courts, but also all of them are lifelong. In other words, if you don't resign, these people can be the supreme arbiter for a lifetime.

Since the establishment of the Supreme Court, few judges have voluntarily resigned. Therefore, every time a judge is elected and a successor is basically waited until the predecessor dies to take office.

Such an important power confrontation at the top of the pyramid, even if a certain milestone enters the twilight years, or even life enters the countdown, all parties have long been prepared.

But before the election and the successor is ready to take over, the various games are still unimaginably fierce. This time, Chief Justice William is equally important, and the shock of all walks of life in the United States can be imagined for a while.

"What do you want me to do?" Casto put a blanket on his body, the air conditioner in the room was fully turned on, and he felt a little cold after being doused in ice water.

"How did you get in touch with 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 of them are even more core-type than celebrities. Among the judges in various states and regions, the judges in Washington, D.C. are undoubtedly a very special existence.

The judges in this place are special, not just because Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States. Also because the judges in Washington, D.C. are known as the cradle of Supreme Court justices.

Most of the nine justices of the Supreme Court are selected from the crowd of judges in Washington, DC. Therefore, once a justice of the Supreme Court dies and there is a handover, the judges in Washington, DC can be said to be candidates with great hopes.

"We have just cooperated for less than two months. I have spent more than half of my time trying to keep evidence on myself for the shitty things you did before. I have been to Washington twice. , What do you think of the results of my friendship?" Casto looked at Little Jack.

Brother Xiaojie couldn't help touching his nose, a little embarrassed, he knew he was in a hurry. But there is no way that the chief justice is seriously ill suddenly, the news was released too suddenly and he couldn't help it. After all, he was the chief justice of the Supreme Court, one of the few people at the top of the American power pyramid.

Seeing that little Jack calmed down, even though he was broken into the room in the middle of the night and poured a bucket of ice water. But he realized that he and Little Jack were now grasshoppers tied to a rope.

Castor pondered for a moment and said, "It's actually useless to contact the judges in Washington, D.C. now. Mr. President still has several years in office, and his polling rate has always been high.

Therefore, even if Judge William did not survive this illness and died, the position of Chief Justice is estimated to be appointed by the President himself. But given the current national situation, as long as he opens his mouth to nominate, it is impossible for the Senate to object.

So instead of seeing who is the more promising judge in Washington, D.C., you might as well go directly to know who our Mr. President likes the most. "

The justices of the Supreme Court are indeed tenured for life and have the power to veto various and even presidential bills. But before taking office, who can sit in this position, the president has a certain right to speak, and the Senate also has the right to decide. Because they can veto the president's nomination.

In short, before you take that position, you don't have the power of a judge. Whether you can sit on it, you must get the approval of the president and then be passed 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 the current president. However, in the past, he could still have an equal dialogue with Mr. President, but now he has been declining because of the consortium behind him in recent years.

When facing Mr. President again, his confidence is undoubtedly not as strong as before. However, as a consortium that still exists, there is still a lot of room for cooperation in a detour.

After all, although the financial resources of the consortium have declined severely in the past few years, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The consortium still has representatives in the Senate, and this number is not one or two.

Compared with those consortium bosses in the east who are still getting stronger in the past few years, the consortium behind him may be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and power control. But it was enough to bring these people out and talk to the president.

"Let's start with the lawyer team around him, whether it is the consultants who are currently helping him with legal issues, the lawyer team, or even the last election, the legal people who helped him may be one of the candidates.

Of course, if there are such legal professionals who have become judges in Washington, D.C., then we need to pay more attention. I can't think of any other possibilities at the moment. Castor said in silence for a moment.

Don't say how fair and just the US law is. 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, it is impossible for a judge to obey his orders as he is now, and he will express some of his own opinions, and some opinions will even go against him.

But with the basis of the close relationship before, the two sides can definitely come up with a very harmonious, and there are some conveniences that everyone tacitly agrees to. Therefore, these justices will only appear among the people whom Mr. President is optimistic about. This is the power of Mr. President. It's just that the current Mr. President is shrewd. Obviously, at this time, he will not be brainless to propose a person who is optimistic about the opponent to come to power.

"I'll find these people. Otherwise, you'll be the first to make contact, and I'll follow up." Little Jack nodded, satisfied with Casto's guess, because basically the candidates didn't run away 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 secret, only those people in the room knew that others wouldn't.

He can analyze this possibility, and other people can also analyze it. Is it true that the staff of those politicians are all vegetarians?

Therefore, the purpose of contacting these legal professionals at this time is obviously more conspicuous than the sun on a sunny day. Not to mention the high price to pay, and the expected effect 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 the time is tight, and this matter is not without room for manipulation. After all, we are a consortium, and Mr. President does have the right to nominate, and even has certain decision-making power.

But this nomination and decision-making power is not exclusive to Mr. President alone. He still has his own opponents, and if there are opponents, he needs helpers.

I think we will become helpful helpers to Mr. President. You see, this is the premise for us to cooperate. Little Jack spread out his hands, and the serious expression on his face just now gradually relaxed.

"There is indeed a basis for cooperation. Now you'd better pray that William can live for a while. In this way, you can have more time to argue with Mr. President and get more benefits."

Castor shrugged, "Is there anything else? I'm going to sleep if there's nothing else, and I'm going to call some hot girls. Do you want to order one for you?"

Little Jack stood up and tidied up his clothes, frowned when he saw the illegal drugs littered on the table and on the ground, "Before I need you, you'd better cherish your body and live well, otherwise even if you Then you die, and the consequences are not something you can bear."

Originally stretching out his hand to the marijuana roll on the table, with a questioning expression on his face, Casto's expression froze in an instant as if he said, "Would you like to have one together", and the outstretched hand stopped.

Little Jack sneered and glanced at Casto, turned and walked out of the room. The bodyguard behind him closed the door politely, 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 have dinner, received a call from the United States. Hearing the news on the phone, he was stunned.

Then he shook his head and hung up the phone, "I really think highly of me. Such a thing even came to ask for my opinion. I have a gross opinion. I can't even get involved in a Senate seat, let alone a candidate for a justice. .”

It was someone from the Kennedy family who called and asked him what he thought of the justice's successor.

How else to read it, of course, you can read it with a newspaper, lying down, or sitting down. Anyway, I am qualified to participate in something, but it is true that this matter has a lot to do with it. Although I don't have the ability to get involved, I can take advantage of this opportunity to do other things.

For example, he is not qualified to participate in this matter, but Jack Jr. and the Kennedy family must be qualified to participate. So at this time, it is a good time to exchange this matter for some other resources.

But if you want 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 asked him what he thought, and it was no problem to understand that he was willing to bid as much as he wanted.

"What's the matter?" Li Fuzhen looked at Yang Dongxu who had hung up the phone and walked over in a daze.

"It's nothing serious. By the way, Qiao An said that he is going to organize a reception tomorrow. At that time, some celebrities from Barcelona's upper class and government officials will be invited to participate. You should prepare in advance to accompany me there." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"What gift do you need?"

There is no custom in the West to take money with you, but when you go to a friend's house to attend a banquet or something, bringing a small gift can be regarded as a kind 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 a small gift, these people will look at you all day long.

"Joan has a daughter who is in high school. You can buy her the latest and fastest MP4 from Tunghsu Technology."

When giving a gift, 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 in the family, giving gifts to children is undoubtedly more pleasing than gifts to adults.
