Won't a trump SCOTUS nomination will be seen as an a*s?

[Deb]

By the Left because she accepts and by Right because they want a tool.

1. It will be a tarnished appointment.

But they don't care. It is all about the power. Ethics, right and wrong, basic decency...none of that matters to these people.

[Iliyah]

2. Majority will view US SC as . . .

partisan and untrustworthy and not the protector of the Constitution.

3. The Supreme Court already delegitimized itself when it installed George W. Bush in 2000

and became a de facto arm of the Republican Party

5. Exactly

and we do tend to forget that in the midst of all the flinging crap these days.

4. Anyone who would accept the nomination, pushed through in the last weeks before the election,

and after McConnell set the rules last time, will have already indicated that they lack moral conviction, or a sense of ethics or fair play. An honorable person would say, no thank you, let the people have a voice in this. So yes, if someone does accept, let them forever be known as an ass.
