Ever mindful of his self-interest, Trump has picked Brett Kavanaugh, who once wrote that he didn’t believe a sitting President should be subject to criminal investigation or prosecution.

Brett Kavanaugh, 53, is Trump's second SCOTUS pick.
Like his first, he is virulently anti-abortion. Unlike his first, he was probably selected because he is on the record saying that presidents shouldn't be encumbered by lawsuits and indictments and such.
I guess once you become president, you should be seen as a god-king?
Terrible man.
I actually think his abortion stance is less valid a reason to block him than his stance on indicting a sitting president, seeing as how a president under investigation is installing him. Would be nice to see every Democrat stonewall him and to have some Republicans do the same, but I don't see it. I guess all those anti-Hillary women can just deal with it if they're pro-choice.
