This is what I just quickly composed from the timeline and my own guess about the composition about the Supreme Court that decided the Shiawase and Seretech cases, a list that could be considered "Archconservative." The whole thing was based on the assumption that SR divierged from RL in 1989, although the first reference being in 1993 makes me rethink retirement of the Justices in 1987, 1990, and 1991. However, I think it's best to just assume this actually diverges in 1993 with one MAJOR exception--Since Chief Justice Burger stayed on until 1994, Justice Rehnquist never became Chief Justice in 1986, and Justice Scalia didn't take the seat he effectively vacated. Combined with canon, he would have actually retired ten years ago, which is nothing short of amazing because that means that SR canon as to the state of law diverged in 1986, effectively making the Shiawase decision (the Seretech decision is a bit more palatable) very much possible in the context of the changes to the other branches (e.g., how the conservatives stayed through the 90s.) to mean that there quite possibly was law to support the Shiawase decision during the whole privatization movement of the Lynch Administration--which is the only way I can even begin to imagine how extraterritoriality became possible.
1993-the first of the Supreme Court justices appointed during the Burger court leaves office. * Blackmun (appointed 1970) 1994-Chief Justice Burger retires. * Died in June 1995 IRL 1994-Terence Ordell appointed Chief Justice. * Outspoken conservative law professor from the East Coast (Bork eqv.?) 1998-Three Burger Justices retired or dead. * Rehnquist (appointed 1972) * Blackmun (appointed 1970) * White (appointed 1981) Ordell Court (1994-?) * Stevens (Ford-appointed 1975) * O'Connor (Reagan-appointed 1981) * Unknown Reagan Appointment (Hell, maybe Bork would have made it this time--appointed 1988) * Souter (Bush-appointed 1990) * Thomas (Bush-appointed 1991) * Ordell (Lynch; 1994 successor to CJ Burger) * Unknown Lynch Appointment (1993 successor to Rehnquist) * Unknown Lynch Appointment (1993(?) successor to Blackmun) * Unknown Lynch Appointment (1993(?) successor to White) |
