The ethical judgments of the Supreme Court justices have become an important issue recently.The court cannot_1_its legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law_2_justices behave like politicians.Yet,in several instances,justices acted in ways that_3_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_4_as impartial judgments.Part of the problem is that the justices are not_5_by an ethics code.At the very least,the court should make itself_6_to the code of conduct that_7_to the rest of the federal judiciary.This and other similar cases_8_the question of whether there is still a_9_between the court and politics.The framers of the Constitution envisioned law_10_having authority apart from politics.They gave justices permanent positions_11_they would be free to_12_those in power and have no need to_13_political support.Our legal system was designed to set law apart from politics precisely because they are so closely_14_.Constitutional law is political because it results from choices rooted in fundamental social_15_like liberty and property.When the court deals with social policy decisions,the law it_16_is inescapably political-which is why decisions split along ideological lines are so easily_17_as unjust.The justices must_18_doubts about the court’s legitimacy by making themselves_19_to the code of conduct.That would make rulings more likely to be seen as separate from politics and,_20_,convincing as law.A.serveB.satisfyC.upsetD.replace
选项
A.serve
B.satisfy
C.upset
D.replace
答案
C
解析
本句句意是:他们给法官们终身任期,以便法官们能够自由地_____那些当权者。此题承接上题,可知法律不受政治的影响,从而法官也不用担心掌权者(those in power),注意这里考察了upset的熟词生义,含义是“推翻,颠覆”。所以此处的意思是“法官能自由地推翻当权者。”制宪者给予法官终身任期的目的是让他们有权制裁当权者,而不是为了服务或满足当权者,所以应当排除[A]和[B];根据前文的意思,法官不应该参与政治,更无从谈起取代当权者,所以排除选项[D]。综上所述,选项[C]为正确答案。
