There is no way that a president can be the one legally picking the person for the job. It is straight up illegal by the better standards of the government when it comes to checks and balances.
The supreme court has done a pretty good job at being ‘untied’ from the president and their own power base on par with. Things could have been worse.
But it needs to be taken a step further and enacted into law.
No position that is judiciary at the highest levels will be allowed to be chosen by the president and attendant political party, nor the opposing political part
The president is a powerful enough position already. But the choice of who gets to be a supreme court justices must be removed from those powers as being in conflict with checks and balances of powers, the executive branch, the judiciary branch, the legislative branch.
Hint: the electoral college is also something that is not legal and has been in error with the popular vote a few times too many, and though there is an actual function that needs to be filled to prevent the collapse of the economy and preservation of the present system (that is in need of change but not removal) it needs to be done differently than an electoral college that gets to be the final say… “for it is We The People that must be the final say and we need to set up a better set of guidelines that are built off of logic and not rulers and landowners”.
