It’s in the constitution if te President is charged with Treason

You and Snopes.com have a very different interpretation of the Constitution

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/treason-impeachment-removal/

More important is that the wording of Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution has been misrepresented here. It actually reads as follows:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

This passage merely sets out that the process for removing a President, Vice President, or other high civil officer from government office is through their being impeached and convicted of crimes, including offenses such as treason or bribery. (The phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors” generally means crimes committed by those holding high office, not specifically “crimes large in scope.”)

Section 4 of Article II does not state — or mean — that if any President, Vice President, or other civil officer is impeached (with or without subsequent conviction), all such persons are also removed from office. The procedure for impeachment and potential removal from office would apply only to the persons specifically named in the articles of impeachment passed by the House.

Yeah he is. Kennedy is moderate. This dude is way far right
That's actually false. Anthony Kennedy is not a moderate.

"Since he joined the court in 1988, Kennedy voted in a conservative direction about 57 percent of the time — a record that’s nearly identical to that of Chief Justice John Roberts and only slightly less conservative than Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. And in close decisions, Kennedy sided with the conservatives 71 percent of the time. That’s not quite as consistently conservative as Roberts, Alito, Scalia and Thomas, all of whom cast conservative votes in at least 80 percent of cases with a five-justice majority, but it’s not exactly moderate either, since we might reasonably expect to see a moderate casting conservative votes closer to 50 percent of the time."

SOURCE: Justice Kennedy Wasn’t A Moderate

Fair enough but I can’t see Kavanaugh ever crossing party lines

And they will...

Chuck Schumer is apart of the gang of 8.. and for him to cut a deal to push trumps nominations through suggest to me that either he knows this presidency will be deemed illegitimate and therefore all of trumps legislative and judicial picks will be null and void or Chuck just simple folded like a cheap suit

Right now I doubted he folded like a cheap suit
Breh from day 1, I never liked cuck Schumer. This idiot always came across as a fake tough guy who appeases rethugs behind closed doors.
