Supreme Court
Regarding “Gorsuch promises independence on bench” (Page A1, March 22), the question the American people need to ask isn’t whether Gorsuch can be independent on the bench, but rather should he even be considered for the seat. We should be insisting that Merrick Garland be the first consideration, not Gorsuch, because U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the Republicans changed the protocols after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death when they said President Obama should not be allowed a nomination because he had less than a year left in office.
Actually, all business brought forth by this administration should be halted until the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency is confirmed. Donald Trump, his family and campaign staff should be thoroughly investigated by an independent commission. If they have nothing to hide, they should welcome the scrutiny.
The American people deserve the truth as to whether Trump was deliberately working with the Russians to further his business interests, was an unwitting pawn or if he’s being blackmailed.
A talking point on the 2016 campaign trails of the various Republican candidates such as Trump, Rubio and Bush was that Secretary Clinton might be under FBI investigation as president so we shouldn’t vote for her. Well, I guess they had the FBI investigation part correct, just the wrong person. Patty Justice, Montgomery
