Breaking MSNBC: Pelosi just called into question the validity of Trump's judicial picks

48. Great issue to raise and push,

the accusations are startling and criminal, once proven. Much like Mueller’s investigation, years of accusations from Congress and in the press. Then Mueller’s report tells most uninformed voters there was found no prosecutable evidence of collusion/conspiracy.

As to the judges, I don’t think crimes prior to the election invalidates the election. Crimes after the election probably wouldn’t invalidate the appointments. I don’t believe the Constitution says anything about invalidating an election.

Not sure if Nixon made any appointments after planning Watergate, but would provide a precedent, as I don’t think they even tried to remove them.

The Constitution says executive appointees can only be removed through impeachment after they’ve been confirmed and been sworn in.

No matter whose impeachment you naught start it won’t slow down the confirmation much, if at all.

If the impeachment was completed with the removal of anyone except the President, there’d always after the election until inauguration.

Even if he is impeached it is arguable that until removed the appointment is still valid and actionable by the Senate.

Lots of Constitutional questions there, but at the least would probably require the successful impeachment and removal of the President. All would require separate decisions from the Supreme Court, although in a single filing.

But still worth while it is something to keep the press and public interested and occupy news cycles. Probably have to start process as quickly as possible,before it is seen as an unsubstantiated empty threat. That could be a big negative.
