No one can use Mueller probe to hold up Supreme Court nominee

In a city where necessity has long been the mother of invention, the retirement of Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy has unleashed a frenzy of creative arguments of why President Trump should not be able to appoint a second member to the Supreme Court. Panic can lead to many things, but principle is not one of them.

According to Democratic politicians and advocates, there is a longstanding principle that any nomination by Trump at this time would be clearly improper. This convenient discovery was explained by Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) in a judiciary hearing, where he insisted that, as “a subject of an ongoing criminal investigation,” any nomination or confirmation must wait “until the Mueller investigation is concluded.”

Dave T: Mr. Booker spends a lot of time dreaming. Dream on clown.

Booker is a Barack Obama wannabe. He's just as bad a Fauxcahontas Warren.

I'm confused. One day I hear no collusion - but Mueller's team goes on. The next day or so the President is going to be supeoned. Today it is 12 Russians and no Americans and that the it did not affect the 2016 selection. Anyone else confused. Sounds like a perfect time for Mueller to go away.The Russians are not coming here to be put on trail. Also the reason the Russians have so much of our IT is because of Hillary's server in her basement.
