Summary

The Trump presidency opened with the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to succeed the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. But the following year, when Trump drew from the same list of candidates for his nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, the justice being replaced was the swing vote on abortion, and all hell broke loose. Hemingway and Severino believe that the judicial confirmation process is proving to be utterly dysfunctional. And with the stakes of each vacancy incalculably high, the incentive to destroy a nominee is nearly irresistible. -- adapted from jacket
