TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS WILL APPOINT THE NEW JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT. Agreement reached between Republicans

23 September 20204 years ago babelfish

Mitt Romney and Donald Trump met to agree on a strategy for appointing the new US Supreme Court Justice after Judge Ginsburg's death. At this point, having reached an agreement with the current majority of the Senate who must confirm the appointment, a downward path for the presidential nomination is presented.

Mitt Romney, once a staunch opponent of Trump, said:

“I intend to follow the Constitution and precedent in considering the candidate for the president. If the candidacy reaches the Senate chamber, I intend to vote based on his qualifications ”.

Romney said he was simply following the law in making his decision rather than taking a position based on the recent blockade of President Obama's Supreme Court candidate Merrick Garland during the 2016 election. Romney said that “the historical precedent of election year appointments is that the Senate generally does not confirm the candidate of an opposing party, but confirms a candidate in its own right, ”so why should Republicans risk giving a judge to the Democrats?

He added that his decision "is not the result of a subjective test of" fairness "which, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. It is based on the immutable correctness of following the law, which in this case is the Constitution. and earlier. "

It is now becoming very difficult for Democrats to block Trump's appointment. Democrat Pelosi went so far as to threaten impeachment against the president if she dared to make the appointment, but it would be a spite and a purely political act that would not be understood by the country. At this point the Supreme Court, which decides on important issues as the supreme court of cassation, but which can also decide on possible electoral disputes, passes under strict republican control, and even for a long time.
