Across the USA want to go on Sunday, thousands of Trump’s proposed candidate for the Supreme court to the street. The possible appointment of Board Kavanaughs has become a political crime.

It is the loudest resistance to the Board could be Kavanaugh, since US President Donald Trump suggested the ultra-conservative lawyers in July for the highest judicial office: a Little over a week prior to the scheduled beginning of the hearings in the U.S. Senate, more than 70 organizations and clubs for this Sunday have to call a “national day of action” against the possible confirmation of the 53-Year-old as a judge of the Supreme Court.
Country-wide, about 150 events are planned demonstrations, the joint Letter of Protest letters to senators, uninterrupted calls to their offices. The right Hashtag there is also: #stop kavanaugh Twitter to mobilize users against the controversial judge, including Actresses Alyssa Milano and Chelsea Handler, Congressman and civil rights groups.
“The people know what is in this battle on the game,” said Ilyse Hogue, President of NARAL Pro-Choice America, an Association working for the preservation of liberal abortion laws and the Protest co-organised. Kavanaugh would weaken as the Supreme judge of “the right to abortion, labour rights, the rights of Homosexuals and the rights of immigrants for generations”, will Hogue quoted in a press release from the organization.
“The biggest fight of a Generation.”
What to do after a panic may sound, makes many Americans fear. For weeks the controversy surrounding the nomination Kavanaughs again and again in the national headlines. Only a day after the announcement Trumps the US media Vox from “the greatest battle for the Supreme Court of a Generation voice”.
While it is not uncommon that the left and rights activists ahead of the renewal of a place on the Supreme court for or against the candidate’s mood. Also million expenditure for political sport, by lobby groups, no exception, are Advertising. But the commitment, with the Kavanaugh in the run-up to the decision of the Senate, and also support to fight, is extraordinary.
One of the most controversial candidates for the Post of the Supreme judge for decades: Brett Kavanaugh
No wonder: According to the will Trumps his candidate, currently a judge of the court of appeals in Washington, D.C., will take over the place of age, as retired Supreme court justice Anthony Kennedy, as usual, on life time. Previously, Kennedy was the deciding vote that strengthened the progressive, the conservative wing of the nine-member body. In the case of a confirmation of Kavanaugh would be the second of Trump personally selected chief judge. Thus, a conservative Five to could establish itself on a decades-to-four majority in the Supreme Court and its ideological orientation to move clearly to the right.
Unpopular ester candidate for 30 years
Critics fear, inter alia, that Kavanaugh could give his patron Trump legal immunity. It was “unbecoming for the President of the United States, a Supreme court judge pick who could soon be in a process of a judge, the President himself is involved,” said Chuck Schumer, Chairman of the Democrats in the Senate. Earlier, had moved trump’s Ex-lawyer Michael Cohen of illegal campaign Finance pleaded guilty and Trump for the first time in the vicinity of Offense, which could potentially lead to impeachment proceedings.
Also Kavanaughs positions on the issue of abortion to existing weapons laws and to Reform the health care system in the Obama Era are highly controversial. This ensures not only at the Democrats for uncertainty: During a survey of Fox News suggests that the American population was divided in terms of Kavanaugh, he surveys the US-opinion research firm Gallup and SSRS according to the most unpopular candidate for a judge’s post at the Supreme Court since the rejection of Robert Bork, the candidate of then-President Ronald Reagan, in 1987.
Activists from several U.S. States went on 1. August in Washington against the Kavanaugh nomination to the street
In the CNN commissioned SRSS survey about the majority of the respondents indicated that a confirmation Kavanaughs refuse, after all, 35 percent have kept his views “too extreme”. As it helps, apparently, that Kavanaugh has asserted, “to remain in any process without bias” and to always strive “to preserve the Constitution of the United States of America and the American rule of law”.
Head-to-head race in the Senate
A further explanation of the debate to the lawyers is so bitter, is the date of his nomination: In the November mid-term elections, in which the balance of power in Congress could shift. “It is a campaign, for candidates of both parties,” says Thomas Greven, who teaches at the John F. Kennedy Institute of the Free University of Berlin political science. In addition, the result of the vote could be tight, also, if a confirmation of the Kavanaughs is currently more likely.
Could be a key figure in the Kavanaugh decision, the Republican Susan Collins, (2. v. r.)
The hearing Kavanaughs could be postponed by a delay strategy still holds Patrick Horst, a political scientist at the Institute for English, American and Celtic studies of the University of Bonn, Germany, is not excluded. With the claim of the Democrats that you have to sift through all the files to Kavanaughs work in the Bush Administration, in order to make an informed decision, the party has failed thus far. But according to Horst, it is “quite possible” that those still undecided, Republicans support such a strategy “at least be careful. You could argue that you want to check Kavanaugh thoroughly and listen to, and the procedure to drag on”.
Showdown in September?
That it is actually still in front of the 1. October, the start of the new session of the Supreme court, the Showdown in the Kavanaugh-crime comes in, so probably, but not sure. Is: Should he be a judge of the Supreme Court confirmed, that could polarize not only the law, but also to the already divided American society in the long term.
The President of the U.S. the scope of his proposal seems to be aware of. “I have often heard that this [the election of a Supreme judge] is in addition to the question of war and peace the most important decision, the meeting with the President,” Trump said in the nomination Kavanaughs. So he could have rights.
