Additionally, Cuomo is concerned that Kavanaugh will support Trump’s goal to overturn Roe V. Wade and dismantle the Affordable Care Act.
Furthermore, the governor wanted to know the nominee’s position on environmental protection, diversity and equal protection as well as campaign finance rules.
Finally, Cuomo noted that Kavanaugh’s past statement suggested strong support for executive power. According to him, in 2009, the nominee wrote that sitting presidents should be “excused from some of the burdens of ordinary citizenship.”
Currently, Trump is facing multiple investigations. Therefore, Cuomo wanted to know if Kavanaugh believes the president is above the law.
Cuomo believes that Trump is “attempting to use the Supreme Court as the political arm of the presidency.”
