It would be good in that it would get him out of the White House, but then what?

You know that narcissist has floated the idea in his head swamp.

On his precious list, very right wing (Ken Starr's old pet), and a former Kennedy clerk. Plus young enough to stay on the court for 20 or 30 years

The fuckwit in the White House is still burned by the betrayal of Sessions -- he recused himself from investigations involving Russia. He will nominate someone based not on ability or experience, but on whether or not he thinks the nominee will save his ass. And only if they "look the part".

I'm going to be sick --

NO Op.

beauguard wants to see first hand how brown children look in cages up close and personal, and how them there illegul immigrants scream and cry when separated away from those law-breaking babies/toddlers. Oh yeah, he also wants to see first hand up close and personal how black males look being shot and killed like big game animals by rogue/dirty police officers. IF he were to be on the High Court, he'd miss all of his "fun."

he may nominate some lawyer or judge he sees often on TV. Judge Judy perhaps, or Jeanine Pirro from Fox News.

I hope he picks someone as stupid as him and McConnell will go with it, because he is an ass anyway and we go to vote in November and vote these bastards out.

McConnell has already said he will confirm (he doesn't even know) who it will be.

And before anyone tells me he is not qualified, I would like to point out that none of his nominees will be qualified.

Supreme Court Justice. Which is scary. There are no qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate.

Basically, Trump can nominate any fucking idiot to fill Kennedy's seat and he probably will. FFS, we could end up with Eric Trump for all we know.

want someone younger with a good 20-30+ year, long-term tenure on the Court. But nothing would surprise me.

He has every potential to become a fantastic legal scholar. Doesn't have much experience lawyering or writing stuff, but that's something anyone can do with on-the-job training
