Thanks JayGalt.

Well, he said he voted for McMullen and he called for Trump to step down so his judgement is seriously flawed. Clearly he is lobbying for the job and pretending to be so happy with the President, don’t buy it. He’d be the new Kennedy, or Souter. bet on it.

[pepsi_junkie]

He took a principled stand in public. Good for him, he didn't lie. I'm sure such a principled man who objects so strenuously to the character of the President would not be able to fairly judge cases before him brought by the administration headed by such a man and as such he should come forth now and let all know that he is taking the moral position that he will not accept nomination from this President should he choose to put it forth.

Unless he's just an opportunist who was hiding behind high minded rhetoric to hide his real agenda.

I bet Mike Lee’s name is being thrown out there to take the cameras away from the real candidates. It would surprise me greatly if POTUS chose him.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Mike Lee needs to stay in the Senate. We have many good judges to pick from.

It doesn’t matter any believing LDS is obliged to adhere to the PSR’s
direction. The abrupt about face of Glen Beck is one example. The LDS want as many possible Saints from below the border to come here so absent positive proof to the opposite no LDS can be trusted on secure borders.

51/49 - Lee = 50/49 - McCain = 49-49 + Pence = Confirmation

[McGavin999]

Nope because you could well lose Collins and/or Murkowski and we have no guarantee that we can get even one democrat. Lee is a big boy, he can be patient. Ginsberg, Beyer and Sotomayor will be coming up, he won’t have long to wait.

Cruz cannot be trusTED when it comes to the Supreme Court. The chances are high that TED still had some Koch Industries and Golden Sachs donor favors to repay.

This could very well be a backdoor globalist play to fight Trump on immigration and dreamers from the Supreme Court angle.

Tell me this: why is TED so eager to get out there with this recommendation? Be very careful.

[Labyrinthos]

He is a Kennedy clone: He will rule conservative when the conservatives don’t need his vote, but when conservatism is on the line he will move to the center so that he can be the “swing vote.” No thanks.

[MortMan]

I do not want a politician appointed to SCOTUS. Kagan, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Sotomayor are prime examples why.

[The Toll]

Never Trump scum have been pushing that name all day.

No sale.

[dennisw]

Mike Lee is too libertarian. His independent streak kind of libertarianism will morph into liberalism within a few years of his SC Appointment.

TO TRUMP: Don’t do it! (Mike Lee)
TO TRUMP: Don’t appoint a woman, there are enough on the Supreme Court.

[poconopundit]

Albion, thank you for that research. I had completely forgotten. Imagine, a month before the election, this SOB calls on Trump to quit. No Never Trumpers No Globalists in Black Robes No Golden Sacks Puppets No untrusTED Cruz Endorsements No Mike Lee for SC!  Ever!

[poconopundit]

Would that be Indian or Injun?

[SeekAndFind]

RE: Never Trump scum have been pushing that name all day.

Nope. He *IS* on Trump’s list.

Trump must know something his supporters don’t...

If Trump chooses him, what are you going to do about it? Keep calling him scum?

[The Toll]

Yep.

[Albion Wilde]

Mike Lee is a “never Trumper” and did not vote for Trump. Now the establishment feels Trump should put him on the Supremes........I think not. Lee blew it.

Maybe he's just being trolled, like those nice talks and dinner at Trump Hotel that Romney was invited to as Trump was forming his cabinet.

[Albion Wilde]

Cruz claimed today that he got Lee on Trump’s list in a deal with Trump for Cruz’ support in the 2016 election.

Do you have a link for that?

[Albion Wilde]

Trump should put a woman on the court...

"Identity" appointments are as utterly inappropriate as hate crime legislation.
