We the undersigned have been honored to have been listed, along with Justice Gorsuch and Judge Kavenaugh, as the people the President of the United States would consider for nomination to SCOTUS. But in light of the experience of Judge Kavenaugh, undergoing the gauntlet of the senate confirmation process in its modern form is a mixed blessing indeed. Each of us signs this letter in solidarity with all our colleagues, each of whom would be honored to serve on SCOTUS but none of whom actually needs to be a justice of the SCOTUS.

In any other context than confirmation to SCOTUS, of course, any of us would be honored to meet any member of the United States Senate. But in light of the regrettable experience of Judge Kavenaugh and his family, the modern form of the confirmation process - which is almost entirely a 20^th Century innovation - is obsolete. The Senate is on notice that, should any of the undersigned be honored by nomination to SCOTUS,

• the nominee will not visit any senators.
• the nominee will not meet with any committee of senators.
• the nominee will not appear on TV with the president. And,
• the nominee will withdraw his name from consideration if the Senate or any committee thereof discusses the nomination on TV.

The nominee will respectfully respond to written interrogatories from the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary.

Respectfully submitted,

. . .

So one Senator can kill a nomination by mentioning it on TV?

[Salvey]

I would agree, except for the fourth item. Also, I would add that since the advice and consent envisioned by the Constitution did not, and does not, require referral to a committee for hearings and testimony by the nominee, hearings hereafter shall be dispensed with and the nomination be considered directly by the full senate.

Just send them a postcard.

Dear Senate,

"We are sick of your shit."

Sincerely,
America

I don’t like that entirely. I think the list of potential nominees, who, are already judges, and have been confirmed before,should say, “Look back at my confirmation. Nothing has changed.” .....or note what has changed.

Allow no questioning except by letter.

This unhinged Democrat cabal has got to be headed.
