The ethical judgments of the Supreme Court justices have become an important issue recently. The court cannot 【C1】______ its legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law 【C2】______justices behave like politicians. Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that 【C3】______ the court’s reputation for being independent and impartial.
Justice Antonin Scalia, for example, appeared at political events. That kind of activity makes it less likely that the court’s decisions will be【C4】______as impartial judgments. Part of the problem is that the justices are not【C5】______by an ethics code. At the very least, the court should make itself【C6】______to the code of conduct that【C7】______to the rest of the federal judiciary.
This and other similar cases【C8】______the question of whether there is still a【C9】______between the court and politics. The framers of the Constitution envisioned law 【C10】______ having authority apart from politics. They gave justices permanent positions 【C11】______ they would be free to 【C12】______those in power and have no need to 【C13】______ political support. Our legal system was designed to set law apart from politics precisely because they are so closely【C14】______.
Constitutional law is political because it results from choices rooted in fundamental social 【C15】______like liberty and property. When the court deals with social policy decisions, the law it【C16】______ is inescapably political—which is why decisions split along ideological lines are so easily【C17】______ as unjust.
The justices must【C18】______doubts about the court’ s legitimacy by making themselves【C19】______to the code of conduct. That would make rulings more likely to be seen as separate from politics and, 【C20】______, convincing as law.
【C9】
选项
A、line
B、barrier
C、similarity
D、conflict
答案
A
解析
考查名词辨析。“a line between…”意为“在…存在或划清界限”,代入文中,“法庭和政治之间的界限是否还存在”,符合题意,故A.line正确。barrier“障碍”;similarity“相似点”;conflict“冲突”,均不符合题意。
