"If the President is under indictment, what is the (SCOTUS) nominee going to do about that?"

U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, D-WA

Have other Senators suggested that Trump could be under indictment? Laurence Tribe is one of the most high profile Constitutional experts to believe that a President could be indicted while in office, but it is even more significant, I think, when a Senator (and attorney) agrees.

"I'm all for making sure this debate gets every bit of attention, but I am anxious to hear whatever this nominee has to say: Is the president able to pardon himself? Do you believe in the emoluments clause?"

"I want to know what he thinks about the process of how far the Mueller investigation needs to go, and will they fight to protect that... And if the president is under indictment, what is the nominee going to do about that?"

1. L.Tribe is a big big brain.

I go with his rationale whenever I hear him.
What the nominees will do is lie. Plain and simple. Act all "gosh and golly" like Gorsuch...then crucify the last 50+ years of Supreme Court rulings.

2. Yup. They use a perverted version of Occam's Razor.

If being a dirtbag is the simplest way to get what you want, be a dirtbag.

4. Wouldnt VP Pence nominate a justice then?

5. Not if he is under indictment, too. Paul Manafort was the one who pushed him

into the campaign. Pence might have been in the thick of the collusion.

6. what if pence is not under indictment

bannon said that to wolff that they kept pence intentionally out of the loop cause he is the ‘fallback guy’
