question: In which state did the disappearance of a Supreme Court Justice cause disquiet about a popular political organization?
answer: New York
context: Title: Neil Gorsuch Supreme Court nomination
  Passage: After his nomination on January 31, 2017, Neil Gorsuch was confirmed by the Senate on April 7, 2017.  Gorsuch, age 49, is the youngest sitting Supreme Court justice since Clarence Thomas.  In February 2016, U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia died, leaving a vacancy on the highest federal court in the United States.  Article II of the U.S. Constitution requires the president to nominate justices to the Supreme Court, subject to the "advice and consent" of the United States Senate.  President Barack Obama, a Democrat, nominated Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy.  U.S. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, arguing that the presidential election cycle having already commenced made the appointment of the next justice a political issue to be decided by voters, refused to bring the Garland nomination to the Senate floor for a vote.  McConnell's action held the Supreme Court vacancy open through the end of President Obama's tenure.
  Title: Suryono
  Passage: Suryono, also spelled "Soerjono", was the ninth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Indonesia.  The reputation of the Supreme Court among legal scholars suffered under his tenure due to Suryono's tendency to reverse seemingly final decisions via what were derisively termed "magic memos," and he was generally regarded as a candidate who would maintain the Supreme Court's subordination to the executive branch.  He overturned an administrative court ruling that had lifted a New Order-era ban on Tempo, a popular political commentary magazine.
  Title: Marie Louise v. Marot
  Passage: Marie Louise v. Marot (1836) was a freedom suit heard by the Louisiana state district court and appealed to the Louisiana Supreme Court.  The Court held that a slave who is taken to a territory prohibitive of slavery cannot be again reduced to slavery on returning to a territory allowing of slavery.  The ruling was cited as precedent to the 1856 landmark "Dred Scott v. Sandford" case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.  Supreme Court Justice John McLean cited the precedent in his dissent of the majority ruling.  Six of eight justices did not abide by the precedent in what has been considered the worst decision ever made by the Supreme Court.
  Title: Tammany Hall
  Passage: Tammany Hall, also known as the Society of St. Tammany, the Sons of St. Tammany, or the Columbian Order, was a New York City political organization founded in 1786 and incorporated on May 12, 1789, as the Tammany Society.  It was the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in controlling New York City and New York State politics and helping immigrants, most notably the Irish, rise up in American politics from the 1790s to the 1960s.  It typically controlled Democratic Party nominations and political patronage in Manhattan from the mayoral victory of Fernando Wood in 1854 and used its patronage resources to build a loyal, well-rewarded core of district and precinct leaders; after 1850 the great majority were Irish Catholics.
  Title: Chief Justice
  Passage: The Chief Justice is the presiding member of a supreme court in any of many countries with a justice system based on English common law, such as the Supreme Court of Bangladesh, the Supreme Court of Canada, the Supreme Court of Singapore, the Court of Final Appeal of Hong Kong, the Supreme Court of Japan, the Supreme Court of India, the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the Supreme Court of Nepal, the Constitutional Court of South Africa, the Supreme Court of Ireland, the Supreme Court of New Zealand, the High Court of Australia, the Supreme Court of the United States, and provincial or state supreme courts.
  Title: Joseph Force Crater
  Passage: Joseph Force Crater (January 5, 1889 – disappeared August 6, 1930, declared legally dead June 6, 1939) was a New York State Supreme Court Justice who vanished amid political scandal.  He was last seen leaving a restaurant on West 45th Street in Manhattan, and entered popular culture as one of the most mysterious missing persons cases of the twentieth century.  Despite massive publicity, the case was never solved and was officially closed 40 years after he disappeared.  His disappearance fueled public disquiet about New York City corruption and was a factor in the downfall of the Tammany Hall political machine.
  Title: Closed Chambers
  Passage: Closed Chambers: The Rise, Fall, and Future of the Modern Supreme Court is a 1998 book by Edward Lazarus, who served as a law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun during the October Term 1988.  Lazarus combines his reflections as a clerk with a substantial body of research to describe the collapse in comity between Justices - and particularly clerks - at the Supreme Court.  The book is noted both for its extraordinary inside access to internal Supreme Court deliberation and its arguably balanced account of the controversy surrounding many high-profile Supreme Court decisions on the death penalty, civil rights, and abortion.
  Title: Karin Maria Bruzelius
  Passage: Karin Maria Bruzelius (born 19 February 1941) is a Swedish-born Norwegian supreme court justice and civil servant.  She served as a justice on the Supreme Court of Norway from 1997 to 2011.  Before her appointment as supreme court justice, she was Secretary-General (Permanent Secretary) of the Ministry of Transport and Communications from 1989 to 1997, as the first woman to serve as Permanent Secretary in Norway.  She has previously also been a Director-General in the Ministry of Justice and a corporate lawyer.  She was a member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague from 2004 to 2010.  Bruzelius was President of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights from 1978 to 1984.  She chaired the Petroleum Price Board from 1987 to 2004.
  Title: 1916 Republican National Convention
  Passage: The 1916 Republican National Convention was held in Chicago from June 7 to June 10.  A major goal of the party's bosses at the convention was to heal the bitter split within the party that had occurred in the 1912 presidential campaign.  In that year, Theodore Roosevelt bolted the GOP and formed his own political party, the Progressive Party, which contained most of the GOP's liberals.  William Howard Taft, the incumbent president, won the nomination of the regular Republican Party.  This split in the GOP ranks divided the Republican vote and led to the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson.  Although several candidates were openly competing for the 1916 nomination—most prominently conservative Senator Elihu Root of New York, Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, and liberal Senator Albert Cummins of Iowa—the party's bosses wanted a moderate who would be acceptable to all factions of the party.  They turned to Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who had served on the court since 1910 and thus had the advantage of not having publicly spoken about political issues in six years.  Although he had not sought the nomination, Hughes made it known that he would not turn it down; he won the nomination on the third ballot.  Former Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks was nominated as his running mate.  Hughes was the only Supreme Court Justice to be nominated for president by a major political party.  Fairbanks (as of 2016) was the last former vice president, to be nominated for vice president.
