Perhaps one day a court will find that Donald Trump had conspired with his personal lawyer Michael Cohen to pay non-disclosure agreements meant to silence his mistresses.
Mazie Hirono and Ed Markey canceled meetings this week with prospective Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
None of these senators were going to vote for Kavanaugh anyway, and none of these pundits are going accept the validity of the Supreme Court that adheres to the Constitution as written.
His nomination has nothing to do with either Trump's short-lived campaign manager Paul Manafort, whose crimes aren't even related to the 2016 election, or with Cohen.
Even if Trump was impeached, Kavanaugh would be the kind of judge that Mike Pence would nominate - and, for that matter, Jeb Bush or any other conservative.
There is nothing in the Constitution that demands senators consider the president's choices - despite the feigned fury over Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's refusal to move on the Merrick Garland vote.
The fact is that even if Special Counsel Robert Mueller comes back with a recording of Trump and Vlad Putin strategizing on how to hack the DNC server, the only way to stop the president from nominating justices is by electing people who will impeach and remove him - not by creating a new make-believe constitutional order.
