Rope a dope. Telling people one thing and will do something else. Classic Trump.

I hope.

Well, all of the picks were on the short list compiled by the Federalist society. So all of them are within the strict reading of the Constitution judicial philosophy. Unfortunately, the lost of the Alabama Senate Seat the missing of McCain (who has always been pretty good on judges) gives the President very little margin of error. A Justice from this list is a win, in my view period. You don’t know what will happen with the Senate. Hopefully, the GOP can pick up seats (at least 2) and have a 53-47 margin for the next 2 years. So next pick, even if Collins and Murkowksi (spelling) vote to bloc, you still have a margin of 2 as a 50-50 tie means VP Pence breaks tie. A paper trail nominee will be more likely approved in the next 2 years if Ginsburg or Sotomayor retires.
