If true, the screeching will really be loud.
Trump's 3 main criteria for SC nominee
- Thread starter AC_Exotic
- Start date
Mike Lee is 47. He has already said he "would not say no" to the nomination.
Today has been an exciting day!

As a constitutionalist, THIS is why MAGA. Period.
Damn...I was expecting my phone call, but I’m 53.
I was planning on giving them your name for nomination, but they won't take my call.

I got through and dropped JD's name but it's a no. Turns out Trump is a Sooner fan.
He did talk about Harold Hamm in NDakota last night.
Here's my thinking on the court:
Let liberals and conservatives and their idiologies live or die by the constitution. I don’t want a conservative Supreme Court. I want a Constitutional Supreme Court.

When you have activist judges comparing sneaking into this country with wwii Japanese internment camps you can’t have just one side playing this game.
He’s not going to pick someone under 40.
Online prediction markets have Lee as 7th pick. Brett Kavanaugh is favorite. The gal at #3 would be my pick, just from a purely comedic meltdown standpoint. She is 45.

What soccer club does he support and what is his favorite beer? First things first.
I don't know about the FC Dallas thing but I can get behind the second part.
What are his odds? I wouldn't even know where to look...
No idea re: official odds.
Rumor was that he was on the short list from the 25 last time.
A quick Google search suggests he should be on the list. Don't have time to dive deeper.
He's quite a ways down, maybe 12th. I don't know how much stock to put in those odds BTW.
Glenn Reynolds, aka instapundit, supports Willett.

That's changed some at the top or is slightly different than the one I was looking at.
I'm hoping and praying its Amy Barrett. The left will be doing more pretzels than an Auntie Anne's.
I enjoyed his tweets and followed him.
It sucks that he has stopped since moving up to Fed 5th Circuit.

Those were funny and about as apolitical as tweets can get. I loved the puppy one. Can someone explain ABCNews' perspective here? I understand their story: that social media activity that has political positioning could detract from the perception of a judge being impartial, however, frankly, I don't see anything that aligns to that in any of the examples given. Am I missing something?
I think I am dumber for having read that.
However, Willet comes off as an entertaining dude.
I wish journalism still existed beyond the limits of a rare select few.
