Discussion: Trump Begins Interviewing Supreme Court Candidates

Starting now, the court should be called The Extreme Court, not the Supreme Court

So, candidate X, we can’t discuss how you’d rule on Roe v. Wade - that would be inappropriate. But tell me, do you think it’s even possible for a President to obstruct justice, since he’s the country’s CEO? And do you think that a President can pardon himself?

But he promised (Trump promised… it’s a fart in the wind) that “they are outstanding people (but if they don’t genuflect upon meeting me, they’re out). They are really incredible people in so many different ways (they read books and speak intelligently) , academically and in every other way (every other way I could think of at the time - which is one other way… I think). I had a very, very interesting morning (Wait! Did someone wipe my ass this morning? Who was supposed to wipe my ass? JARED!?!?).”

I don’t care who the person is being interviewed, every one of them has to walk out of a meeting with Trump feeling a bit like they’ve just dirtied themselves a little. Also, that they’ve spoken to one very stupid person.

What I want to know is has he published the numbers yet where we can call in our votes.

Maybe the vote is on his twitter feed?

Trump doesn’t really have conversations. He holds court and gives rambling, self-focused soliloquy blended with diatribes. I can’t imagine that these exchanges (mostly 1 way) resemble anything like an ‘interview’. Wonder if his staff procured ‘Head Shots’ of each person on the list - as that will likely be his only contribution (his gut reaction as whether or not they ‘look the part - to be played on tv’) beyond what the Federalist Society already did in compiling the list. Shouldn’t that ‘vetting’ process make us all have great confidence in our institutions of government? ~choke.~

Something is very wrong with America…this is NOT normal.

How on earth can a President be allowed to pardon criminals when he himself is being investigated and several members of his inner circle from his campaign have pled guilty and many more are charged and being tried for serious federal crimes!

How can a President who is under investigation be allowed to pick judges for our courts and including the highest court in the land…the Supreme Court.

If Democrats can’t stop this nomination with the American people, the for all practical purpose, the US Democracy is dead!

The idea that this guy should be interviewing candidates for dog catcher will be an eternal stain on this country.

Just text a name to #454545.

The only part of his word-vomit that might be considered an “interview” will be the part where Trump demands unthinking, undying, personal eternal loyalty to himself, plus a signed NDA where they can pledge their unthinking, undying personal loyalty to Trump forever, on pain of being sued for all the money ever. Anyone who doesn’t pledge and sign loses the interview.

I’m just imagining the thoughts going through the interviewees head. WTF is this guy doing leading the US, he’s even more moronic in person than he seems to be on TV and his twitter post. Jesus I thought someone was just making his comments up to appeal to the blue collar right wing base. Goddamn he’s even worse in person, god help us all!

And the first question is “What do you think of Robert Mueller’s witch hunt and will you protect me when the time comes?”
