There is uncertainty and confusion, it seems, for Joy Behar of “The View” when it comes to the president’s authority to nominate Supreme Court justices.
On Tuesday, Behar bemoaned President Donald Trump’s ability to nominate a justice to the high court — he chose Brett Kavanaugh on Monday night — to replace the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.
“How dare he be allowed to do this when he is under investigation!” Behar said.
Apparently, she did not grasp the irrelevance of her statement — or that special counsel Robert Mueller himself said President Trump was not officially the target of the controversial investigation into Russian collusion charges during the 2016 election. – READ MORE
[divider][/divider]“The View” cohost Joy Behar wants to know why Mitch McConnell is not in jail for refusing to give President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland a hearing in the Senate in 2016.
“He wouldn’t have been my choice,” Dershowitz said of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee. “I’m a liberal Democrat. They stole the first member of the Supreme Court. Absolute theft. Unconstitutional. I’m a little critical of President Obama, for whom I voted. He should have nominated Merrick Garland and should have sworn him in.”
Dershowitz continued, “The Constitution says advise and consent. It doesn’t say delay and postpone.”
“Well then how come Mitch McConnell is not in jail?” Joy Behar interrupted. “That’s what I want to know.”- READ MORE
[divider][/divider]On Tuesday, the great minds of The View sounded off on their legal theories regarding the appointment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court by President Trump. Joy Behar, that paradigm of dignity and jurisprudential expertise, explained that Kavanaugh “might just be a quieter version of Judge Jeanine.”
This makes perfectly sense if you were dropped on the head repeatedly as a child, smoked extraordinarily strong strains of marijuana for your entire teenage life, or underwent a voluntary frontal lobotomy.
But Behar wasn’t done. She explained that Trump shouldn’t be able to appoint a justice at all because he’s under investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller (he isn’t). Behar stated, “Why would a president who’s under investigation by the FBI for obstruction of justice and collusion be allowed to pick a Supreme Court justice who will be there? I’ll be dead. There are many people in this room who will still be alive and need abortions … and need health care. How dare he be allowed to do this when he is under investigation!” – READ MORE
