Under the unusual circumstances surrounding his selection, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should have agreed to recuse himself from deciding cases involving the investigation of President Trump. The reason Kavanaugh asserted at his confirmation hearing for refusing to make such a pledge that it would violate the imperative of judicial independence is entirely unconvincing.
In turn, senators should decline to approve Kavanaughs nomination unless he does so. And, since thats not likely to happen, in the event that a case involving the Trump investigation were to come before a Justice Kavanaugh, he should not participate for his own good and the good of the institution he is poised to join.
The unusual circumstances are these: The president selected a Supreme Court nominee while under criminal investigation. The nominee he chose happened to be one who has expressed clear and controversial views about the wisdom of investigating a sitting president.
In addition, that nominee suggested that the leading case on the presidents responsibility to comply with a subpoena, U.S. v. Nixon, maybe ... was wrongly decided heresy though it is to say so. Finally, although I wouldnt go so far down this conspiracy rabbit hole myself, the nominee did not appear on the original lists of potential Supreme Court choices; his name was only added to a list released after the special counsel investigation was launched....

The “unusual circumstances” were caused by Democrat leaders. Liberal judges are the ones who lack the ability to be objective most of the time.
Obama selected justices after he faked his birth certificate.
And the only judge of a lefty should be a rope and a tree.
Traitors, every single one.
Bingo. She raged against Teump by name. The best the progs can do here is a few phrases about “a president.” Nobody needs to lift a finger or type one word about Kavanaugh recusing himself before Ginsberg actually does recuse herself.
Kagan recused herself — eventually — from a case not too long ago, so there’s recent history at least.
Nobody in the media complained when Obama nominated justices.
They simply dont like Trump doing it. All the rest is serving smokescreen BS.
The Soviet Union retreated to become Russia, but the agenda is still the same. They do retreat, like muslims, just to rearm and attack again.
Trump is under criminal investigation? For what crime? Has Mueller ever stated that Trump is a target? No.
Yup. Collusion isnt a crime even if it was true.
Its not been proven and Mueller is far from making such a case.
The Left wants to impeach Trump for the crime of winning the election.
Yup.
Formulated the leagal defense of ObamaCare when in the Obama White House, and even had a hand in drafting the legislation.
And then while on the court, refused to recuse herself, and ruled in favor of Obamacare in defiance of Federal Law.
The media, of course, applauded Kagan for her actions.
Every “SANE” American can see where the criminality lies. We are surrounded by it! yet Trump is the criminal! and only in the eyes of the criminals who are creating this narrative being pushed at nauseum by the complicit scumedia. If this is not a coup what is it?
All Justices have been appointed by some president and none have previously recused themselves from cases somehow related to those who appointed them.
As was said Friday by someone on Fox Biz, it is not as if Kavanaugh worked for the Trump administration.
He didn't.
Don’t they remember the smartest man in the world, Barack Hussein Obama (mm mm mmm), gloating and telling everybody that “Elections have consequences”?
Washington Post,nuff said.
I dont consider or read any of their stuff
Anything out of the Washington Post is hateful... and stupid.
“The Soviet Union retreated to become Russia, but the agenda is still the same. They do retreat, like muslims, just to rearm and attack again.”
The Soviet Union retreated, but the Democrats did not. When the Democrats lose, they double down and try to overturn the results. Retreating and trying again would be a better strategy, probably, but that is not the one they use. They never ever retreat.
“unusual circumstances surrounding his selection”
What? this is a fabrication of the insane democrat mind.
The President is not under criminal investigation. Period. No matter what the media and Democrats say, it simply isn't true.
Mueller's witch hunt is based upon the poisoned tree of FISA, Strozk, Page, Obama, Ohr, Fusion GPS, Comey, Hillary, and the rest. FISA is the biggest political scandal in American history. It is Mueller who is criminal.
that alone should qualify ObamaCare as null and void
the WaPo “journalist”/activist, Ruth Marcus, should not write about any matters concerning President Trump:
Wikipedia: Ruth Marcus, journalist: Ideologically and politically, she identifies as a liberal with the Democratic party.
Marcus is married to former Federal Trade Commission Chairman Jon Leibowitz, a Democrat/

Every sane person who watches conservative news. “Mainstream” outlets do not report these things. Someone has to make a real effort to know what is going on. Most people just live their lives and only casually glance at the news, unfortunately.
