Report: Gorsuch and Hardiman both headed to D.C. as Trump prepares to announce SCOTUS choice
HotAir ^ | January 31, 2017 | Allahpundit

Good lord almighty. He’s going to bring them both out and make his choice live via a “gavel ceremony,” isn’t he?

You wanted a reality-show presidency, you got one.

The two judges who have been considered the top finalists to be President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court — Neil Gorsuch and Thomas Hardiman — are being brought to Washington ahead of tonight’s White House announcement, sources tell CNN.

Gorsuch is supposedly already in D.C., Hardiman is en route. How is this going to work? Will they both be at the announcement? Why would you invite the runner-up to witness firsthand that he’s not going to achieve his lifelong dream of being named to the Supreme Court? And if the runner-up isn’t going to be at the announcement, why make him come all the way to D.C. to get the thumbs down in person?

What about stopping posting garbage from this NeverTrumper? There are many other sources for the same news.

Obviously, they don’t want the POS media to undermine the announcement, as it would be pretty simple if the one guy was there and the other wasn’t.

If it’s down to these two, then you would think, Trump has already told Congress that these are my choices for this seat and the next one that comes up.

The trick is to find out both judges’ schedules in court for the next 2 weeks or so. If one has cancelled/postponed all cases, and the other hasn’t, then you know which is the nominee.

Boy....

What if he has a resignation that won't be announced until tonight and we got 2 in the breech?

I know I am fishing, but Ruth Buzzy isn't getting any younger, and a couple of others health might not be the best....

Trump just knows how to play....

And it will drive Schumer insane.

Over the years, I've noticed that Schumer has a huge flaw....he can't do more than one thing at a time.

All these nominations are driving him insane...and the USSC nomination in particular.

Insane...And my evidence?? The crying bit....when is the last time Scummee cried...on stage...over something he has no control over??

The trick is to wait a few hours and find out when President Trump make the announcement.

Wouldn’t it be a surprise to find out Trump’s choice isn’t either of these?

Provided the story is true (big if) then why wouldn't Trump have one ready to go if and when the next vacancy comes?

Me, with so much song in my step... laughing with Trump and loving this whole big mess! A lot of the silent Trump support came from democrats who either voted, or stayed home for the mere purpose of not giving Hillary a vote... they are everywhere and they hate all the protest snowflake and crying senator and pink pussycat hat crap! I don't know, I think I might be brainwashed... but if I am it's more than just me! We love our president! So proud of my vote!!!

Trump is trumping the enemedia again.

He cut off the whole press posse from lynching his final selection ALL DAY LONG TODAY by having both of them arrive in DC at the same time.

Plus, this may be a signal that the one not chosen tonight is going to be the next nominee (if Ginsburg falls into more of a coma than she's in now).

In which case, he can play the same game on the next nominee...i.e., again bring two potential picks to DC at the same time.....thwarting the villains again!

Oh, I'm SO loving all this !!!

Does Vegas take bets yet on fake news?

Think I could make good money from CNN sources.
