    IF true, the WH cajoled Kennedy to leave ...by letting him pick his own successor for a lifetime appointment. Then, engaged in an elaborate exercise to pretend the pick hadn’t yet been made. I’m sure this stuff happened a lot through history. But it doesn’t look great...IF true.https://twitter.com/a81arnold/status/1016646371108061184 …

    I can believe this White House kept it secret for a few days, no way they kept months of negotiations from leaking. Besides I’m not sure why they would need “cover”, they didn’t do anything controversial this time

        Am I the only person kinda thinking a Supreme Court Justice shouldn’t be able to demand a successor as a prereq to retiring?

        If true, the irony would be its not very constitutional seeing that’s not how the process is meant to be. I don’t think it’s illegal or anything,just kinda too political for my taste. My bigger problem is the nominee’s views on a president testifying. good pick regardless

        Unconventional, yes, if true. But why bad? The Prez can nominate anyone. Why should it trouble us if solicited the views of a sitting Justice who knows more than most about the job? To say “cajole,” when you know you cannot say “force” or “bribe,” is telling.

        Nothing new. That’s politics.

        That’s a huge if with this White House, I suppose I just assumed most of these things involve back door negotiations, but true that’s not a good thing. Too hard to make my brain believe Trump thinks that far ahead though, haven’t had enough coffee 😉

        And yet...can we honestly say we're surprised. Trump has irrevocably changed American politics forever

        On the other hand it's better than Trump picking @sseagalofficial or something.
