45 only cares about the justice supporting him. Nothing else matters which is why Pence and his crew do all of the vetting.

Nope. They don't have to hide anymore, and don't feel the need to pretend to.

Everybody on the list will be a RW operative selected to enforce conservatively correct policy for decades.

Don't think Trump can find anyone dimmer than Sessions. He's had splinters in the Windmills of his mind for decades.

Earl Warren was another one who surprised a lot of people - As California A.G. he was instrumental in organizing the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII (something he expressed regret for later), and was viewed as a reliable conservative. But the Warren court produced cases upholding the rights of individuals, especially in the area of procedural due process, such as Gideon v. Wainwright, Mapp v. Ohio and Miranda v. Arizona, as well as the famous right to privacy case, Griswold v. Connecticut, which was part of the basis for the later Roe v. Wade decision. Conservatives came to hate him and wanted him impeached because they thought he was too liberal.

I'm not holding my breath for another one like Warren, though.
