One hundred twenty-five days elapsed between Brandeis' 指名／任命 and 確定／確認, 含むing 19 days of 審理，公聴会s by a special 上院 小委員会 in which Brandeis 対抗者s "kept trying to find something against him and they couldn't," said Brandeis 伝記作家 Melvin Urofsky.
Wilson, a 民主党員, was 直面するing re-選挙 in 1916, but he had a 上院 controlled by his own party. The high 法廷，裁判所 開始 then also resulted from the untimely death of a 共和国の／共和党の 任命された人, 司法（官） Joseph Lamar, in January. (Lamar himself was a 民主党員 from Georgia and a childhood friend of Wilson, though he had been 指名するd by 大統領 William Howard Taft.)
The choice of Brandeis was both an 成果／努力 to shore up Wilson's re-選挙 chances and a reward to a loyal 同盟（する）, Urofsky said. But the 対立 to the 指名／任命 was loud and 耐えるing.
"He was seen as a 過激な. He had taken on J.P. Morgan, 好意d labor unions and …に反対するd big 商売／仕事. He was disliked by a lot of people," said Urofsky, author of the 2009 調書をとる／予約する "Louis Brandeis: A Life."
As a lawyer, Brandeis was not an 特に gracious 勝利者, Urofsky said. "He fought to 勝利，勝つ and he did it without kid gloves on," he said.
Urofsky 認めるs that anti-ユダヤ人の 感情 played a 役割 in the 対立 to Brandeis, but 結論するs that it was 比較して 限られた／立憲的な.
の中で the critics of Brandeis' 指名／任命 was Taft, the former 大統領，／社長 and 未来 裁判長. "He is a muckraker, an emotionalist for his own 目的s, a 社会主義者, 誘発するd by jealousy, a hypocrite, a man who has 確かな high ideals in his imagination, but who is utterly unscrupulous, in method in reaching them, a man of infinite cunning ... of 広大な／多数の／重要な tenacity of 目的, and, in my judgment, of much 力／強力にする for evil," Taft wrote at the time.
Their 関係 was better when Taft joined the 法廷，裁判所 in the 早期に 1920s.
The 審理，公聴会s didn't 土台を崩す the 事例／患者 for Brandeis, 許すing 民主党員s to stick together in the 直面する of 部隊d 共和国の／共和党の 対立. He was 認可するd on party-line 投票（する）s by the 小委員会 and the 上院 司法の 委員会. Brandeis was 確認するd 47-22, with three 共和国の／共和党のs 投票（する）ing for him and one 民主党員 in 対立.
Wilson went on to 勝利，勝つ re-選挙 and Brandeis stayed on the 法廷，裁判所 until Feb. 13, 1939 ― 77 years to the day before Scalia died.

The 法廷，裁判所's 公式の／役人 嘆く／悼むing period for Scalia is coming to an end, a month after his death, but his "presence will always be felt in this courtroom," 長，指導者 司法（官） John Roberts told a （人が）群がる that filled the marble courtroom for an evening lecture last week.
The 旗 outside the 法廷，裁判所, at half-staff since Scalia's death, will be raised to the 最高の，を越す of the flagpole on Monday. 黒人／ボイコット bunting that has draped his 議長，司会を務める, his place on the （法廷の）裁判 and the courtroom itself will be 除去するd.
"At that time we will also 配列し直す the （法廷の）裁判 議長，司会を務めるs," Roberts said in introducing a lecture on one of his 前任者s, John Marshall.
Scalia's place to the 権利 of Roberts will be taken by 司法（官） Anthony Kennedy, now the longest-serving member of the 法廷，裁判所, Roberts said. On Roberts' left will be 司法（官） Clarence Thomas. All the other 司法（官）s also will change seats and move to the other 味方する of the （法廷の）裁判 from where they had been sitting in a choreography 形態／調整d by seniority.
Perhaps most 意味ありげに, Scalia's 議長，司会を務める will be 除去するd from the （法廷の）裁判, leaving only eight.
"There will not be a 議長，司会を務める on the far left, which is where the new member will sit," Roberts said. Left unsaid, of course, was how long it might take for a new 司法（官） to be 確認するd.

One thing that hasn't changed yet is the number of 事例／患者s the 法廷，裁判所 has agreed to hear in its new 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語. There are just five 事例／患者s 始める，決める for the 法廷，裁判所's return in October and 非，不，無 has been 追加するd since Scalia's death.
The 法廷，裁判所 may be putting off taking on new 事例／患者s that could divide the 司法（官）s on 観念的な grounds until there are nine of them and the 見込み of tie 投票（する）s recedes.
But it's not （疑いを）晴らす the 法廷，裁判所 has passed up any obvious 事例／患者s because of Scalia's death. Also, the 法廷，裁判所 has a bit of breathing room because of the 半端物 審理，公聴会 schedule in October.
The Columbus Day holiday almost always 減ずるs argument days from six to five in October. But this year, there will be only three days on which the 司法（官）s hear 事例／患者s because the ユダヤ人の holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur occur during the first two weeks of the month. Instead of the usual 負担 of 10 事例／患者s, only six will be argued.
