[Opinion: Trump should nominate Judge Don Willett to fill Justice Anthony Kennedy’s seat]

With President Trump responsible for nominating a new justice, much of the Left was dismayed. Given his last Supreme Court pick, Justice Neil Gorsuch, it’s more than likely he will select a new candidate that is unfavorable to their interpretation of the Constitution.
Justice Kennedy is retiring.
After Trump was elected, many asked, “What’s the worst that can happen?”
This. This is the worst that can happen.
If anyone has any Trump tapes they’ve been holding onto until closer to the midterms, for the love of God release them now.

The illegitimate POTUS will now try to ram a SCOTUS nominee through before Nov. So much for that McConnell rule. Calling on two principled Republicans to stand up against tyranny.

Kennedy handing his seat over to Trump is the most perfect example *ever* about how it is all the party of Trump. All of it. Kennedy looks down from SCOTUS and sees the man in the White House and says “Yes. Him. I want him to be the one to choose my replacement.”

Don’t take our word for it. Anti-abortion groups are explicitly saying this seat is the moment to overturn Roe. THIS is what’s at stake. #SaveSCOTUS https://t.co/onvDdCDR6U

Good God, we cannot even celebrate the glory that was @Ocasio2018‘s historic upset for a full 24 hours before the sky falls in on us again. #SCOTUS
