Cory Booker cites Trump conflict of interest in SCOTUS pick while the subject of Mueller investigation

Rosi EfthimJune 28, 2018UncategorizedAnthony Kennedy, Cory Booker, donald trump, Robert Mueller, Senate Judiciary, Supreme Court, video

In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today, Cory Booker articulated an argument I’ve read floating around all day; and it has legs: The Committee should not consider his nominee for the high court until the criminal investigation of which he is the subject, is concluded. That, to make sure special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe is not undermined. That investigation has so far resulted in 23 people and companies charged with crimes, 76 total criminal charges, 5 guilty pleas and one person sentenced. If it ends up in the Supreme Court, a possibility, it represents a conflict of interest, Booker says. That particularly, given that Trump as president has shown a pattern of litmus tests, and demanding loyalty – to himself, over responsibility to the country. What if that leaves the Senate supporting a process where the President’s choice may be shaded by his need to save his own neck? How Booker put it:

-
“And so, if we’re not going to thoroughly discuss what it means to have a President with this ongoing investigation happening who is now going to interview Supreme Court justices, and potentially continue with his tradition of doing litmus tests, loyalty tests, for that person, we could be participating in a process that could undermine that criminal investigation.”

Kavanaugh wrote in an article in 2009. What's one check against a "bad-behaving or law-breaking" president? Impeachment, Kavanaugh wrote.
