In this world, 99% of what should happen never does.

Should almost always represents wishful thinking instead of reality.

But to answer your question, no he shouldn't. But should doesn't mean much.

I think it would be logically incoherent for a Supreme Court pick not to be delayed pending adjudication of potential criminal charges against the President.

We should strip him and his family of US citizenship and send them all packing. Maybe he can live with his Russian friends.
