And that's really why they're performing for the base.Senate Republicans pushed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden’s Supreme Court pick, on her ruling involving a former Trump aide and a House panel investigating then-President Trump.
[...]
In the case, Committee on the Judiciary vs. McGahn, Jackson ruled that former White House counsel Don McGahn had to comply with a subpoena from the House Judiciary Committee — which was investigating if Trump obstructed justice, a question that eventually got folded into an impeachment inquiry — writing in her decision that: “Presidents are not kings.”
[...]
Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), the top Republican on the committee, appeared to take issue with Jackson’s phrasing of “presidents are not kings” and that “they do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood.”
“Did the Justice Department argue that the president of the United States enjoys the same status as a monarch, or that he has subjects who have sworn a blood oath to him?” Grassley wrote in his questions.
[...]
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) also questioned Jackson’s phrasing asking if it is “improper for a judge to suggest that the Department of Justice was claiming monarchical powers through this kind of op-ed style rhetoric” and if it indicated Jackson’s personal views.
