I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court. Currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, she is one of our nation’s brightest legal minds and will be an exceptional Justice.
When Do You Mention Shabbos Observance in A Job Interview?
Dear Jew in the City,When during an interview/hiring process should you bring up keeping Shabbos/Jewish holiday absence questions? At the time of offer? At the initial interview? What would a good response be to the question, “Are you available nights and weekends if we need you to come in?” Wondering how people handle this.– J
Dear J,Your question couldn’t be more timely as the U.S. Supreme Court just heard a case a couple weeks ago directly on this topic. Unfortunately, if the case comes out the wrong way, religious job applicants will be put in an incredibly difficult position with no good options, and the door to discrimination against religious job applicants—and in particular observant Jews—could be flung wide open.
But before I get to the legal issue, I’m going to first address your questions from a practical perspective…
TheUnited States presidential election of 2000 was the 54th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000. The contest was mainly between Republican candidate George W. Bush and Democratic candidate Al Gore.
The final outcome was one of the closest presidential elections in the nation’s history. The result of the election hinged on Florida, where the margin of victory triggered a mandatory recount. Ultimately, the United States Supreme Court’s 5–4 decision in Bush v. Gore, announced on December 12, 2000, ended the recounts, effectively awarding Florida’s votes to Bush and granting him the victory.

I’ve got the perfect T-shirt to commemorate the upcoming Republican ballot theft attempts. From the judiciaries in key battle ground states all the way to the Supreme Court. You’re not getting away with it. Not this time.

Republican Senators really don’t want to talk about the Supreme Court vacancy: “Several senators ran away from The Huffington Post this week as we tried to ask if they thought a Supreme Court nominee should get a hearing.”
Senate Republicans have declared their intention to block the confirmation of ANY Supreme Court nominee by President Obama. This is a truly radical refusal to fulfill the Senate’s constitutional obligation to vote on Supreme Court nominee confirmations. The American people deserve better.
