Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, told President Trump this past week that Judges Raymond M. Kethledge and Thomas M. Hardiman presented the fewest obvious obstacles to being confirmed to replace Justice Anthony M. Kennedy[.]

IF this is true, it should disqualify Kethledge and Hardiman. The Turtle would love for President Trump to appoint another Souter, so any potential nominee who receives the Turtle's approval should not receive that of President Trump.

The Turtle would love for President Trump to appoint another Souter, so any potential nominee who receives the Turtle's approval should not receive that of President Trump.

reverse reverse reverse reverse psychology.

How about we forget about all of that and just discuss the man's appellate record, which appears solid in fact.
