A malignant President is the way journalist Carl Bernstein described President Trump in an on air appearance on CNN last year. And after 20 months in office the malignancy continues to spread and this time to the Supreme Court with Trump's appointment of Brett Kavanaugh. It also infected the republican controlled Judicial Committee that handled the confirmation hearings.
It is the latest malignancy and the worse so far because it has infected the highest court in the land that has the final say so on the rule of law that Trump attacks and undermines every day. This writer can not remember another Supreme Court appointee taking the bench so tainted by his own actions and testimony. We know that the republican controlled congress and Trump's cabinet are ditto heads who have accepted and supported Trump's malignancy and in the very near future we will find out just where the majority stands on the U.S. Supreme Court.
As this writer said in a previous commentary, it only takes one so called conservative justice to neutralize the Kavanaugh malignancy. And time will be the judge.
