Justice Carswell vacancy stalls Supreme Court backlog
The Supreme Court faces a growing backlog as Judge G Harrald Carswell’s nomination hangs in the Senate. With Abe Fortas having resigned last May, about 100 death sentence appeals and various constitutional challenges are waiting on a full nine‑member bench. If Carswell is confirmed soon, 16 cases could be rescheduled for argument, while the eight remaining justices have already moved more swiftly this term.
