Schumer urges Trump to tap Merrick Garland for Supreme Court
MSN News ^ | July, 5, 2018 | Seung Min Kim, Robert Costa

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) privately urged President Trump in a phone call earlier this week to nominate federal Judge Merrick B. Garland, then President Barack Obama’s third nominee to the Supreme Court who was summarily shunned by Senate Republicans in 2016, to replace retiring Justice Anthony M. Kennedy.

Trump had called Schumer on Tuesday afternoon for a Supreme Court-centered conversation that lasted less than five minutes, according to a person familiar with the call. Schumer, the person said, pressed the president to name Garland to succeed Kennedy, arguing doing so would help unite the country.

So Chuckles think Obozo should get THREE picks, even after leaving office, but Trump shouldn’t even get the two to which he’s entitled.

Seems fair.

I’m imagining this conversation:

OK, Considered him. No. Bye!!! (click)

Remember the time Obama tapped Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court?

Schumer: “And if you can’t go with Garland, I’m willing to settle for Eric Holder.”

"Ok, your exaggerated laughter was not necessary! So, how about, Loretta Lynch, then?" Schit-mer asked.

He paused.

"Okay, Barack or Michelle Obama?" Scummer asked, hopefully.

So Hilary Clinton calls Donald Trump up at about midnight.....

Don: What's so important it can't wait until morning?

Hilary: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg just died and I would very much like to take her place!

Don: Well, it's alright with me if it's alright with the funeral home.

It was a five minute call. I figure 4.5 minutes was Trump trying to recover his breath from laughing so damn hard at Schitmer’s suggestion of Merrick! LOL!
