      Here’s what IS believable (based on this @politico report on #SCOTUSNomination process): 1. Kennedy tells Trump of his #scotus retirement, Trump says thanks for your service & do you have a rec, AMK says nice things about Kavanaugh.https://politi.co/2u9g08W

      2. Trump was already leaning toward Kavanaugh for #scotus (partly bc of strong support from @WhiteHouse Counsel Don McGahn), & AMK rec solidifies BMK as #SCOTUSnominee frontrunner.

      3. Trump does his due diligence & interviews other #SCOTUSnominee finalists (but Harvard/Yale comment, as reported by @maggieNYT, was hint at Kavanaugh being frontrunner throughout the #scotus process).

      4. Trump makes final #SCOTUSnominee decision on Sunday, announces Judge Brett Kavanaugh for #scotus on Monday night. There’s nothing wrong or scandalous with any of this.

          Agreed. I don't know why everyone has to fire up the outrage machine over this. And even if AMK directly made the ask for BMK, even as a condition of retirement, there's still nothing wrong with that.

          What if Trump/AMK meeting wasn't about recommendation, but requirement for agreeing to step away?

          doesn’t make much sense. what leverage did kennedy have once he announced his retirement? he can’t unretire if trump appointed someone else

          Agreed. But it simply reinforces the understanding of the process which relies not upon written agreements, but rather upon understandings between and among those in a very narrow and ratified social/legal stratum. You define the category so narrowly that only one person fits.
