      1. My sources say this is simply made up. 2. Leonard Leo of @fedsoc, who would know as someone very involved in picking #SCOTUSnominee, denied it to @hughhewitt. 3. The reporter, @LACaldwellDC, has walked it back a bit (see her most recent tweets). #scotus https://twitter.com/geoffrbennett/status/1016642192616706050 …

      Replying to @DavidLat @FedSoc and

      Federalist Society and Hewitt aren't credible objective sources on this. Not saying the original story is true but, these people (both w reasons to refute based on connections to decision and/or political alignment) saying it didn't happen doesn't convince me.

      The reporter deleted her tweet, explaining that it sent out an erroneous implication.

          But was a bit unclear about what, exactly, was erroneous. The revised version of the story, which NBC, as far as I can tell, is standing by, is not too much better.

          yeah right if there's a list of four and only one obvious right winger he should know they'll pick that one, if they assured him they would pick from his list it's virtually the same

          Even if they didn't assure him of anything, the whole process is sketchy - he gives them a list, they add one of the names from his list to their public list. And then that guy gets the nod. It's dubious. Kennedy shouldn't be submitting a list of names in the first place.

          Kennedy, may have had a say in his replacement, which, is at least, ethnically questionable. Also impliess how incestuous the upper echelons of power are. Which isn't great.

          Replying to @DavidLat @Jesterrificness and

          The new explanation is that he just gave them a list. BMK was on that list. He was added to official list in November. To one degree or another, Kennedy picked his successor. I don’t really have a problem with it, but it happened.

          To me that shows another example of a broken system where only the powerful/influential are afforded consideration for positions that keep them in power & influence (in this case, former SCOTUS clerk who rcvd clerkship in part b.c of Ivy connections). 1/2
