Sen. Richard Blumenthal says President Trump has become the “puppet” of outside conservative groups in the selection of the next U.S. Supreme Court justice.
“The president’s outsourced this decision to the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation,” Mr. Blumenthal said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “It is extraordinary. I was a law clerk to Justice Blackmon. I’ve argued cases before the Supreme Court—four of them. I’ve never seen a president of the United States in effect make himself a puppet of outside groups and choose from a group of right-wing fringe ideologues that are prepared on this list.”

elections have consequences.
He outsourced his service in Vietnam.
I trust Heritage more than government stooges doing the job.
This is going to be a fun couple of months, and a frustrating couple of months.
The psycho babble has been unleashed.
He couldn’t do better than the Federalist Society. A very smart move by POTUS. Heritage not so much.
ABA seems to have taken a leftward turn in recent years.
I went to one meeting where they discussed the constantly changing privacy rules on Facebook (always with less privacy of course). Years ago. Excellent meeting.
But what I’ve heard lately is not good.
O’bambi would have outsourced it to Al Sharpton
Complete BS- It is a well known fact that Trump outsourced the choice to the NRA and NumbersUSA!
Their Messiah.
O the horror!
Rcihard Blumenthal would have otherwise praised Trump’s scholarly unadvised pick right? Stupid pointless article, he just wanted to use the word “outsourced” in a sentence.
Such a freaking liar.
Ain’t it grand!
Suits me.
What does Mark Levin think? /s
I was going to mention his lying about serving in Vietnam but you beat me to it.
...and Durbin got to say "cave" today. Children. LMAO
He says that like it’s a bad thing.
Blume stein needs to mind his his own damn business. The president follows an agenda that is mostly best for US citizen taxpayers. He represents us, not some dogmatic approach used to rig the process for elites.
Trump outsourced the choice to the NRA and NumbersUSA!
