Explain why a federal judge needs "cover" from an incredibly unpopular President? And it's cute you still take Trump at his word.
-
If elements on both sides support an action, it's easier politically for a judge to take that action. What's confusing here?

To be honest, the most confusing part is that you think *this time* Trump will stand by an impulsive outburst, even after a WH walkback.

The question about how optics play into a decision from a judge w/ a lifetime appointment isn't the most problematic part of your article

You think the judge wants that particular seat the rest of her life?
-
Don't think she's expecting to get an appellate nomination from Donald J. Trump regardless of her decision.

This is awfully short term thinking. If she writes down the debt and later a Dem nominates her for a higher bench...
-
The point is she gains nothing from appearing to side with Trump, which is what "cover" implies.
