Sarah Huckabee Sanders said it right when she said "Every Supreme Court nominee deserves a vote." Just like Merrick Garland got in 2016. Unfortunately such appointments are mostly political in that the nominees are generally ultra- this or that. The reason is that they are nominated by presidents who are pro-this or that. Now Merrick Garland was far less politically motivated than Brett Kavanaugh, but I can't say he wasn't a democratic choice as nominee.
The question is: do we want someone on the Supreme Court who believes that a sitting President can pardon himself? Or that a sitting President shouldn't even be investigated or tried while in office? And especially not if he or she is delivering on campaign promises the majority in Congress like.
But how about that Sarah Sanders? She will swear to anything Trump says and then the next day she'll swear she didn't say that because the President has just said the opposite. What must she be thinking about herself when she has to stand there in front of a group of very well informed reporters and say things both she and they know are untrue?
And what about this Kavanaugh? All these allegations of misconduct. True or not true. How come he doesn't want there to be an investigation into whether or not they are true? Wouldn't you want an investigation, assuming you were innocent? It makes me wonder why. Why doesn't Kavanaugh and the President and the Republican leadership in the Senate are all against such an investigation? The last time anything like this came up and it was under a Republican administration, they did go ahead with an investigation. But then they weren't under the gun of an election. I guess that's the answer.
