Traditionally, a Supreme Court justice is replaced by someone who is ideologically similar. There has been relative balance on the bench for decades, especially since the ebb and flow of Republican and Democratic presidents has allowed justices to often choose which party will name their successor.
The extreme partisanship by the Democrats throughout the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process has shaken all foundations of principles and decorum that once made the Senate a proper body for confirming justices. Now, decorum has been tossed out the window.
The two oldest justices are Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85 and Stephen Breyer, 80. Both are liberal. If one or both of them leave the Supreme Court during the Trump administration, he should follow the partisan precedent now set by Democrats and stack the bench with conservatives. Senator Mike Lee comes to mind as someone who should be next in line for a seat.
Multiple well-known conservatives have labeled this confirmation process as a “sham” and used other harsh words to characterize the obliteration of a process that recently saw leftist Elena Kagan confirmed 63-37 and hardcore leftist Sonia Sotomayor confirmed 68-31. The Senate’s role in this is to determine if a person is qualified and capable of defending the Constitution from the Supreme Court. Their political leanings should be a secondary consideration. This is why even Ronald Reagan nominated the liberal Sandra Day O’Connor.
Today, political leaning is the only consideration.
Don’t let the Democrats blur the truth and say they’re doing this because of the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh. They started their smoke and mirrors obstruction tactics well before the accusation came to light. This is 100% political regardless of how many #MeToo hashtags they post on Twitter.
If the Democrats want to throw the Supreme Court into the partisan fray, then the President should abandon tradition and stack the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh’s treatment proves Democrats don’t want to play fair, so the President shouldn’t either.
