The Washington Post's RuthMarcus joins the Political Gabfest to discuss her new book, Supreme Ambition.
, “is a badly written and reseached disaster. So many incorrect facts. Fake news, just like the @washingtonpost!” Congratulations on that five-star review, Ruth.Ruth Marcus:
You report that when Neil Gorsuch [joined the Supreme Court] in 2017, Justice Kennedy requested a private meeting with the president so that he could put forward Brett Kavanaugh as a future nominee. What do we make of this? Is it perfectly fine that Kennedy is making this suggestion? Is there something quid pro quo–esque?
Of course, the president had heard of Kavanaugh and had refused to have him on his list, primarily because he was viewed by the president as a “Bushie.” Judge Kavanaugh, now Justice Kavanaugh, had not only worked for President George W. Bush, had not only been nominated to the federal bench by George W. Bush, but he had actually married George W.
It goes back to the significant disappointment that Bork’s eventual replacement, Justice Kennedy, was for conservatives. To the huge disappointment that Justice David Souter, named by George H.W. Bush, was for conservatives. And the conservative determination that these gaffes of the past, the moments they had squandered, would not be repeated again. So that this was their moment to finally get the fifth vote on the court. They were absolutely determined that it would not be denied them.
