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

“Ah yes the classless Mormons who continue to be never trump”

Their church loves illegals and ‘refugees’. I never thought of Mormons of a cult before, but after seeing so many formerly-conservative Mormons repeat their church’s hogwash, I think it is. When members can’t think for themselves, it’s a cult.

I suspect that the Utah evil Hatchling is still after Lee.

Here's what Lee said:
"The Supreme Court is very important, and I appreciate being considered. Right now I'm focused on my job in the Senate, where I'm in a good position to defend the Constitution by fighting against government overreach," he told the Deseret News in a statement.

"Both lists that I've seen from the Trump campaign are fantastic," he added. "While my brother and I might disagree as to which list is better, they're both great."

That pretty much includes 90% of the human race. 110% of islam for sure.

what an ass Lee is, Trump puts names out not as nominations but more to point out what type of person he might nominate with examples.

No prob. Trump can take that list and simply replace Lee’s name with Laura Ingraham’s name.

Maybe that’s why Trump put him on the list? Has to make people in Utah wonder?

I appreciate you bringing that to my attention.

The above was a gross mischaracterization of his statement wasn’t it.

I'm with you. A case of "Please, Brer Fox, don't throw me into that briar patch." Being a U.S. Senator pays well, but you are 1% of the Senate and have to stand for election every six year. Being a Supreme Court Justice pays even better, you are 11% of the court and don't ever have to stand for an election beyond your brutal confirmation hearing if you happen to be a conservative.

There is no contest.

Agreed and it’s really such a damn shame. When he first came on the scene I was very impressed with him and his ability to communicate such strong positions.

Now, I see him as a 5th grade little freakoid who thinks he has to protect his lil buddy cruz. Void of a lick of common sense that one.
