Current justices. We begin with the longest serving member of the court, anthony kennedy, appointed by Ronald Reagan after the failed nomination of robert pork. Confirmed unanimously in 1988, replacing and nixon appointee, Justice Lewis powell, and previoly served on the nth ciuit court of appeals. Heres a brief portion of the Justice Kennedy confirmation hearing, beginning with an introduction by robert matsui. Mr. Matsui its too bad that two individuals preceded judge kennedy for this nomination. I noticed the editorial in the New York Times this morning, they made reference to judge bork and judge ginsburg and i say its a shame because we shouldnt be here today comparing judge kennedy to his two previous nominees.

Hes highly intelligent from his academic record. We can discern that. And

Theres definitely sexism out there. Theres no doubt about it. Reporter the committee for equity and womens surfing says mavericks plan for a womens heat doesnt go far enough and says the prize money a total purse of 120,000 for the men and 30,000 for the women is obviously unequal.
