A couple of thoughts. Trump has had to depend on assistants and others for recommendations for all manner of hires and decisions throughout his business life. He is a good judge of character, and his general knowledge is very wide. I am sure he is familiar with the Federalist Society, even I am to some degree. He also reads very fast and no doubt read up on the SCOTUs picks himself. Here is one snip. From my searches nothing is really useful except this bit, showing that the FS really is a mixed bag. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_Society

In January 2019, The Washington Post Magazine wrote that the Federalist Society had reached an “unprecedented peak of power and influence.” Of the current nine members of the Supreme Court of the United States, six (Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, and Amy Coney Barrett) are current or former members of the organization.[2][10]

The law is clear. It’s a trap.

If the Supreme Court shirks on its duty and aids China, instead of following the Constitution. the law is also clear.

As Dirty Harry would say, “Do they feel lucky?”

I’ve often thought from the beginning when Trump read from the teleprompter and said two Corinthians he was set up from inside by his own to look STUPID
