Garland is such a perfect swamp creature, it would be almost funny for Trump to try this. He may as well! He’ll have plenty of other chances to appoint!!

I’m thinking Trump’s gonna pretty much ignore you, Chuckie. Indeed, the day’s coming when everyone’s going to ignore you.

Uh huh. “I know you won the election but do things our way anyway and maybe we won’t yell so loud.” Sorry, Chuckie.

Better yet, POTUS Trump should nominate Any Schumer to the Court.

Schumer is a example of someone who can achieve great things and remain worthless.

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