Can we believe in Kavanaugh?

President Trump’s nomination for the Supreme Court becomes a controversy catching American’s attention these days. Does Kavanaugh have enough qualifications for replacing Justice Anthony Kennedy at the Supreme Court? Who is more believable, Kavanaugh or Ford-one of his accusers? To answer for those questions, the article “For the good of us all, Brett Kavanaugh should step aside” has been published on CNN on October 1, 2018. This article is written by Ana Navarro. She is a Republican strategist and CNN political commentary. Navarro expressed her point of views about the nominee. She made an argument on why she thinks Kavanaugh is not a good choice for a high-level position in the Supreme Court. Navarro directs readers who are interested in this issue to support her ideas. To do that, Navarro gave the readers a lot of reasons and pieces of evidence that she knew about Kavanaugh and Professor Ford to persuade the readers to oppose Kavanaugh’s seat on the Supreme Court. Navarro pointed out that she did not oppose Kavanaugh at first, but now she has changed her minds because of accusations surrounding the nominee. She argued that Kavanaugh could not be a good nominee for the Supreme Court because this position has to have higher standards. Navarro relied on the information that she collected from Kavanaugh and Ford’s backgrounds, from their school friends, and from what was happening in the hearing to argue that she believed in Professor Ford and Kavanaugh should not be an appointment for the Supreme Court. Overall, Navarro gave the readers her logical reasons for each of her arguments. However, there are some points I think Navarro is slightly subjective. For example, she said that Kavanaugh lied little things in the hearing. So, what are those and how can she know that he was lying? However, in my point of views, the argument successfully convinces me because of her reasonable explanations. She clearly argued that she did not oppose Kavanaugh in his career, and even compassionate to his family, but she did not support his position in the Supreme Court because of a lot of things going on surrounding his personal life which is unqualified for a Justice in the Supreme Court. This argument reminds the readers that the position in the Supreme Court is the highest court in the federal judiciary, and is not like any lower level court. Navarro mentioned that whoever is appointed to this position, he or she has to serve lifetime tenure and cannot be fired. Therefore, the nominee has to meet high qualifications to serve in that position. The argument can make Kavanaugh have more oppositions, but with Navarro's logical reasonings, this argument is fair to say that Kavanaugh should withdraw from this process “for the good of us all.”
