While Senate clearance is a crucial step in the appointment process, the subsequent inauguration involves a meticulous coordination of various elements, including the availability of the justices, the Chief Justice, and the President.
Legal experts weigh in, pointing out that while some delay is not uncommon in such processes, the 48-day waiting period is raising eyebrows. They emphasize the importance of a swift inauguration to ensure that the Supreme Court operates at full capacity, particularly during a time when the judiciary plays a pivotal role in upholding the rule of law.
