President Donald Trump’s praise for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh might hamper any future nominees, a story in Reason opines.

Trump has been angry that two out of the three justices (Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett) that he appointed to the Supreme Court voted against him in their recent tariffs ruling. He called them "an embarrassment to their families" in one particularly vehement jab.

But Reason contends “what's actually embarrassing is the kind of praise that Trump is now heaping upon the one Trump-appointed justice who did vote in his favor,” i.e. Kavanaugh.

Trump can’t seem to move on from his tariffs defeat. "The decision that mattered most to me was TARIFFS!" Trump posted on social media. And "the Court knew where I stood" and "how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country."

He added, "The Democrats on the Court always 'stick together. But Republicans do not do this. They openly disrespect the Presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the Land."

Kavanaugh may have cringed a little bit when he read that, Reason said, adding, “If not, he should have.”

That’s because Trump is praising Kavanaugh, Reason claims, “for exhibiting deference and fidelity to the president who gave him his job. In effect, Trump is publicly patting Kavanaugh on the back for acting grateful and toeing the line.”

What’s worse than Kavanaugh’s potential humiliation is what Trump’s praise may foreshadow. It will also likely “demean any future SCOTUS nominees that Trump may get to put forward.”

If Justice Samuel Alioto retires, as rumors suggest, the Trump nominee to replace him would face an extremely uncomfortable question at their confirmation hearing.

“That nominee will undoubtedly be asked if he or she can be trusted to rule against the president who appointed them if that's what the Constitution required in a particular case,” Reason wrote. “In the past, answering such a question would have been a total no-brainer for any nominee: "Of course I'll put the Constitution first, Senator! What kind of lickspittle do you think I am?"

But perhaps the nominee may think twice about showing such independence and drawing Trump’s wrath. Perhaps such “disrespect” would even lead to Trump pulling the plug on the nomination, Reason concludes.
