    I can CONFIRM (multiple sources) that President Donald Trump personally interviewed these four #SCOTUS candidates today: Judges Amy Barrett (7th Cir.), Brett Kavanaugh (D.C. Cir.), Raymond Kethledge (6th Cir.), & Amul Thapar (6th Cir.). #AppellateTwitter

        The all-caps were out of a fear that I wouldn't be properly credited with the scoop (a fear that turned out to be validated, sigh).

        David, this was not a criticism, this was a glowing endorsement of the all-caps. As for the credit for the scoop: a pox on all their houses!

        Dumbest comment so far on Trump’s SCt pick: “the real winners of the reality show will be the American people.” Only if “American people “ is defined as corporations, the 1% and straight white males.

        Wasn't Judge Barrett appointed by Trump to the 7th? Does she have enough experience to be considered at any other time?

        I can't wait to hear Democrats freak out at a nominee that is superbly credentialed, deeply respected, and well within the ideological mainstream.
