The wheels of power have turned once more in the nation’s capital, as President Taft has accepted a sly appointment that has left many in the dark. It has been revealed that Republican heavyweight, President Taft, accepted the tendered appointment of Charles E. Hughes, Governor of New York, as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Five minutes after the letter was handed to the President, the nomination of Gov. Hughes was sent to the Senate, sparking whispers of a clandestine deal.
The Senate, having adjourned for the day, will not officially hear of the designation until Tuesday, leaving many to ponder the motives behind this sudden move. It is expected that Gov. Hughes will be confirmed with little resistance, but his tenure as Governor of New York will remain unscathed, at least until October, when he will finally take the oath of his new office.
As the nation’s capital buzzes with rumors and speculation, one thing is clear: the influence of President Taft and the Republican party will not be underestimated in this high-stakes game of politics. With the nomination of Gov. Hughes, the future of the Supreme Court hangs in the balance, and the people of the United States are left to wonder what secrets lie hidden behind the closed doors of power.
