How did the death of Justice Antonin Scalia result in a higher workload for many federal courts?
What will be an ideal response?
Following Scalia’s death, the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate refused to consider the candidate proposed by then Democratic President Barack Obama, and the Court worked with eight rather than nine Justices until April 2017, when Justice Neil Gorsuch was confirmed by a Senate that split sharply along political party lines. This caused backlogs and higher workloads in the federal system.
