Dem senator says Supreme Court vote could be 'career ending' for lawmakers
By Emily Birnbaum - 07/01/18 02:34 PM EDT

Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) on Sunday said her colleagues' votes on President Trump's Supreme Court nominee could be a "career-ending move."

“I think that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle know that this vote could be one of the key votes of their entire career,” Cantwell said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And they know that no matter what spin comes out of the White House, if they vote for somebody who’s going to change precedent, it could be a career-ending move."

Cantwell's speculation comes days after Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement from the bench at the end of next month. His retirement opens up an opportunity for Trump to nominate his second justice to the bench, potentially redefining the nation's highest court for generations to come.

“We’re a 51-49 Senate and if [Trump] wants to throw an extreme conservative who basically says, ‘I’m not going to follow precedent, I’m not going to follow these laws,’ then yes, that to me is a major change,” Cantwell said.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

1: Being  Senator was never intended to be a Career.

2: Seating a Conservative on the Court if anything, is the Senate's job. The Court is there to uphold the Laws that the aforementioned Careers write, not find endless excuses to do end runs around them which could imperil the Careers of the Legislators who wrote them.

It's not the Court's business to find alternate meanings in the words of the law, only to apply them.

If that results in chaos, or if the laws conflict with the Letter and Spirit of the Constitution it is the Court's duty to suspend their execution and return them to Congress to change or repeal them.

Appointing Moderate/Liberal/Activist Judges is a rebuke to the Congressmen/women who crafted those laws in the first place.

These people are so full of bullshit. The reason they panic about keeping their seats is because they are genuinely too stupid to hold  a real job.
