Is it against law or protocols for any POTUS to interview potential Supreme Court replacements, any time he chooses, in any event?
For instance, I have been assuming Trump was and is doing the same thing, particularly given the long list of candidates he delivered to the public, during his campaign.
Yes, it’s true that interviewing someone in a clandestine manner for a SCJ, is Not a good look to be discovered, when a SC Justice passes away in a curiously remote location, but, Scalia elected to go on this lodge trip, apparently independent of any known coercion.
Is this yet unproven “conclusion” something from Q, or is it from some zealous conspiracy hunters flogging a fresh news release to whip up some cray cray? ???

Scalia wasn’t ill, so there was no reason to interview potential Supreme Court justices a week or so before he died.
