I didn’t like most of RBG’s rulings but I respected her. Had she been in Comey Barrett’s position, she would never have recused herself from the PA case on that ridiculous basis. Let’s face it - Trump could have made far better choices than Kavanaugh or Barrett.
We don’t need to do any gun control cases with those two on the bench.
“Trump could have made far better choices than Kavanaugh or Barrett”
He made the mistake of submitting to the Senates’ threats not to confirm anyone who wasn’t on their hand-picked list. He should have called their bluff and only sent them appointees he vetted himself.
Then the Senate could have chosen to confirm, or let the next Democrat president fill those seats. I think they would have folded and confirmed whoever Trump wanted.
