In the wake of Michael Cohen’s allegations that President Trump directed him to violate federal campaign finance law, Democrats are seizing the opportunity to state that they will not even bother to meet with Trump’s latest Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) explained:
A president, identified as an unindicted co-conspirator of a federal crime – an accusation made not by a political enemy but by the closest of his own confidants – is on the verge of making a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. A court that may someday soon determine the extent of the president’s legal jeopardy. In my view: the Senate Judiciary Committee should immediately pause the consideration of the Kavanaugh nomination.
Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) stated:
The Judiciary Committee should cease reviewing, the hearings that are scheduled from about two weeks from now and deal with the matter of a President being credibly implicated or alleged to being a criminal co-conspirator.
Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) agreed.
None of this makes any sense. Even if Trump were impeached or resigned, his vice president would then take over; Mike Pence would simply renominate Kavanaugh. The entire goal here is to prevent a vote from taking place on Trump’s pick at all.
Now, Democrats have every right to try to stall Kavanaugh. But this is the latest intellectually dishonest excuse from Democrats, who killed the judicial filibuster years ago, and began the process of Borking Republican nominees decades ago.

Blog Author's Comments: Democrats say they won't meet with the President's pick for the SCOTUS because of allegations. Fine, they would not vote for Kavanaugh anyway. So allow them to show the people they refuse to do their due diligence. This is why special counsel Mueller wanted a charge that would involve Trump, and why Cohen's statement involving Trump was worded the way it was. The Democrats are looking for any reason or method to derail the President and his second choice for the high court.
Trump did nothing illegal and democrats know it. They will use any excuse they can find or make-up to stop him from undoing the harm and destruction Obama and the democrats caused this country. If they are refusing to even meet with Kavanaugh, there is no sense in waiting. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell should immediately call for a confirmation vote, if the democrats will not participate in a confirmation hearing. McConnell, call Schumer's bluff, schedule a vote for judge Brett Kavanaugh sooner than what was planned.
Readers, continue to keep in mind the type of Supreme Court Justices Hillary would have nominated if she had won the presidency. No doubt more like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan come to mind. And, they could and would rewrite the Constitution so none of us would recognize it. Democrats, continue whining and complaining, we won you lost, get over it.
