Debate #3 Chapter 13. Resolved, The president has too much power in the selection of judges

Debate #3 — Chapter 13 Debating the Presidency — Clearly we just went through this issue area, once with the failed Merrick appointment under President Obama and the successful Kavanaugh appointment under President Trump. You are welcome to use either in support of your points (or any other judicial examples, although it would be great if you could use these two you have recently lived through). Two different due dates for your post and then your commentary. Your initial posts are all due by Thursday 15 October. All comments to be made and points finalized to meet the requirements by Sunday 18 October. Follow the pattern from the first Debate with an initial post and three  required  comments.   KEY DIFFERENCE IN THIS DEBATE: If your last name starts A-M take PRO (Yalof) and N-Z your initial post will be CON (Maltese).
