Utah Sen. Mike Lee on Friday rejected Donald Trump's Supreme Court nomination proposal, saying he already has the job he wants, Politico reported.

"Sen. Lee already has the job he wants which is why he is campaigning to represent the great people of Utah again this year," Lee's spokesman Conn Carroll told Politico in a statement.

Lee didn’t “reject” Trump in any way . He said nothing about Trump and simply gave the standard politician answer that decent and humble people give when their names are floated for higher office - “I’m happy with my current job and I plan to to do good job and represent my constituents...” This “rejection” story is a total media fabrication designed to divide republicans and it seems to work well here at the FR.

If any of these guys gave a damn about the constitution like they claim, then they would be chomping at the bit to want to be considered.

But I guess they like grand standing in the senate and get jack done.

Lee is a clone of Hatch, he just turned GOP E much sooner....forgettabout him... and move on and I know Utah has to have some Mormons that actually understand that the GOP is to be a people’s party not the party of the globalist cabal...and he gets primaried next time he is up.

Mister manners strikes again..

the courteous thing to do would be to thank Trump for his consideration and leave it at that...

is it amazing at all that all of Glenn Beck’s homies are proving to be rude and nasty and traitorous to Conservatism ???

What the hell happened to Lee? He used to be (or pretended to be) what seemed like a solid conservative.

Kool-Aid?
Skeletons in closet?
Was promised things?
RINO all along?

What the hell is wrong with these “conservatives”?

No wonder we always lose.

He has a much clearer path to a net worth of 100 mil where he is. Much easier taking bribes than on the court where it would be much more obvious.

Useless turd. So, the USSC isn’t important enough for you to lower yourself to. Interesting.

The NeverTrumpers are a bunch of prissy nancyboys. No wonder they went into politics instead of business. Businesspeople don’t hypocritically pretend to be “principled” when they are backstabbing a competitor.
