i know Donnie's litmus test for his next Supreme Court nominee

"Will you have my back if mueller attacks me?"

Of course he'll insist on loyalty generally, but I guarantee he'll make sure he'll get the nominee's vote on things like self-pardons or can a sitting president be indicted or tried.

And it's a lock that he'll ask potential nominees if they'll recuse themselves in such situations.

No way he's repeating his sessions "mistake".

1. +1

That's ALL he cares about. Me, me, me

LOL he'd nominate a left-leaning liberal if he could extract a promise of a get-out-of-jail-free card

2. Well if that's what it took, you're right, he would

But of course there's a very long list of right-wingers who would happily pledge undying fealty to Donnie.

3. Even if the nominee is asked that question by the judiciary committee

they will be evasive (like Gorsuch did) or he will flat out lie like they all do.

4. "Can a sitting president be indicted?"

"Can the president pardon himself?"

5. He won't pick the next one

The heritage foundation already gave him the script.

6. Yes but he will vet them based on this question.
