Trump said his sister would make a great Supreme Court justice when asked the question last year.
That showed a lot of things. It showed he wasn’t taking the appointment of a justice seriously up until that time. It showed he didn’t know it was a question that conservatives take very seriously. And it showed he thinks his sister is a great judge for the Supreme Court, despite her liberal rulings.

No, it shows Trump was being nice to his 77 year old sister. But that will never get in the way of a good Cruz talking point smear. Give it a rest.
Speaking of judgement. Here’s what Tricky Teddy authoritatively said about John Roberts:
As an individual, John Roberts is undoubtedly a principled conservative, as is the president who appointed him. He clerked for Chief Justice Rehnquist, worked in the Reagan White House, and served as the principal deputy solicitor general in President George H.W. Bush’s Justice Department.
But, as a jurist, Judge Roberts’s approach will be that of his entire career: carefully, faithfully applying the Constitution and legal precedent. He is a mainstream judge, respected across the ideological spectrum.
Thus, he’s earned praise from liberal icons such as Harvard Law Professor Larry Tribe, and Chicago Law Professor Cass Sunstein, as well as from Clinton Solicitors General Walter Dellinger and Seth Waxman, and Carter and Clinton Counsel Lloyd Cutler, the latter two of whom both described Roberts as a man of “unquestioned integrity and fair-mindedness.” As Professor Tribe observed Tuesday night, “[i]t is clear that in the absence of some serious objection that is not now visible . . . he is very likely to be confirmed.” The Senate should confirm him swiftly.
