What makes a good candidate for the united states supreme court justice? what should the president stay away from when making a selection? do we have the right process to approve presidential nominations for the united states supreme court?

If you watched the latest supreme court nomination with Judge Brett Kavanaugh, you can see that it is quite a feat and that the nominee must not have any skeletons in his closet. In other words he/she must be as close to perfect as can be. But nobody is perfect, and the other party is going to dig up dirt.

But a good supreme court nominee is not a Republican or a Democrat, and they do not consider themselves as chosen by a specific president of a specific party, and their job is solely to uphold the Constitution as they fully believe the founding fathers meant for it to read when it was written, along with previous precedents as by lower courts, including their own past rulings. They should listen, and take precedence into consideration, and then judge based on purely non-partisan opinion.

I do not think that we have the right process to approve Supreme Court nominees, since Republican majority leader in the Senate Mitch McConnell used the nuclear option in order to push Donald Trump’s judges through with only a majority vote in the Senate instead of a 60 vote requirement, which would have at least required the votes of some Democrats. So if the Senate has 51 Republicans, they are going to approve every candidate Donald Trump nominates. The same goes with a Democratic president. But once the nuclear option has been used it can never be taken back. So from here on out through the rest of history, instead of a 60 vote count by the Senate to approve the SC nominee, the nuclear option forever changed the vote and so only a majority vote of 51 party leaders is needed. To me that is not right.

For example, Donald Trump will probably nominate 3 Supreme Court justices before his term ends, as he has already nominated two. And he is clearly stacking the Supreme Court to be very conservative and they are very likely to overturn laws that the Supreme Court itself set in the past… Such as Roe versus Wade.

1) the andrew carniage's purchase and renovation of skibo castle have been very good and auspicious for the local people of dornoch firth, scotland because this is a turistic attraction for many people who would want to know the castle, the local people would take advantage about this.
