    Matt Lewis Retweeted Clyde Haberman

    1. why wouldn’t a justice nominated by a Republican prefer to have his successor nominated by a Republican? 2. say what you will about Trump (& I’m a critic), bur the one thing he has demonstrated he can do is nominate a qualified justice.https://twitter.com/clydehaberman/status/1012677085809315842 …

    The fact that Justice Kennedy chose to retire now instead of waiting to see how the 2018 elections turn out says a lot about him. None of it, in my opinion, is good.

        Kennedy still would've had his successor nominated by a Republican after the midterms.

        What troubles me is the revelation that there two degrees of separation between Kennedy and Trump. Wouldn't that be something that the electorate would find relevant?

        Especially since Kennedy voted with other conservatives most of the time, 2/3 in 5-4 cases.

        Basically, McConnell stole the seat. Republicans were complete obstructionist that lead us to the nuclear option and all the rest and we'll never get over it. You were right about one thing, we will have revenge and it's depressing to me that I'm in favor of that.

        Trump did nominate a qualified justice. But should a sample size of 1 give us confidence that a truly stupid, reckless and irresponsible man will make another responsible choice? No, it shouldn't.

        How can we be confident that we truly know the list he's choosing from? And that no bad names will be added to the list? Trusting Trump makes no sense. None. Zero. He is not trustworthy or reasonable.

        Because he's published it, stuck to it for For such, & most importantly we don't need to trust because if he goes off-list it'll be immediately obvious? I mean, maybe save the how can you trust him to pick a Justice argument for after he goes off list, if the risk that he'll

        The source of my objection is that he's an unreasonable, reckless, untrustworthy, unprincipled man and therefore we cannot trust that he'll make a reasonable nomination for SCOTUS because he did once before, regardless of what any current short list says.

        They gave him a list of 25 qualified candidates. A monkey could pick one from the list without problem. So?

        In your view because he nominates conservative justices. You tend to be fair so would you support a qualified justice if that justice leaned more left?

        Mitch McConnell wouldn’t allow a vote on Garland because it was an election year. Why are you being so obtuse about this? What you appear to be advocating is uncivil and that’s the reason we have Trump in the first place.
