Bill Clinton Got His Supreme Court Pick While Under Investigation. Trump Should Get His.

Back in July, some Senate Democrats started demanding that the confirmation process for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh be delayed until after the Mueller investigation is finished.

As I wrote in July, President Bill Clinton was under criminal investigation in 1993 when he nominated Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said that the American Bar Association's rating is the "Gold standard" for evaluating judicial nominees.

Eighty percent of Trump's nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals received a "Well qualified" rating from the ABA-a higher percentage than any of the previous five presidents of both parties.

Schumer said in 2009 that a nominee's judicial record is the best way to evaluate a nominee.

Most Senate Democrats refuse to look at the 700 opinions that Kavanaugh wrote or joined over a dozen years on the U.S. Court of Appeals.

The time between Kavanaugh's nomination and hearing will be 25 percent longer than the last several Supreme Court nominees.
