| Résumé anglais |
Following the Robert Bork fiasco in 1987 critics voiced their concern over the increasing « politicization » of the procedure of Supreme Court nominations. As is often the case after the Senate rejects a nomination, the legal community made proposals to take the political out of the procedure and restore the whole event to the dignity which would become the highest court of the land. Since 1939 Supreme Court nominations have become a national political event during which constitutional issues are publicly discussed. The purpose of this article is to show that such proposals could very well lead to violations of the First Amendment and so to acts of censorship of the political debate which would inevitably lead to a constitutional imbalance.
