Garland, then President Barack Obama’s third nominee to the Supreme Court who was summarily shunned by Senate Republicans in 2016, to replace retiring Justice Anthony M. Kennedy.
Trump had called Schumer on Tuesday afternoon for a Supreme Court-centered conversation that lasted less than five minutes, according to a person familiar with the call.

Garland is such a perfect swamp creature, it would be almost funny for Trump to try this. He may as well! He’ll have plenty of other chances to appoint!!
To: detective
I’m certain Trump will listen to your advice chucky.

I’m thinking Trump’s gonna pretty much ignore you, Chuckie. Indeed, the day’s coming when everyone’s going to ignore you.

Chuckie “The Schmeckel” Schumer, never ceases to amaze me with the crap he comes up with.

Better yet, POTUS Trump should nominate Any Schumer to the Court.

Schumer is a example of someone who can achieve great things and remain worthless.
