Awesome! Can't wait to hear some more lower court nominees. Also, there is another Kentucky seat on the 6th that is still open. Somewhere, I think I heard that Bunning is the frontrunner for the other seat?

Bunning's the guy who BTFO'd Kim Davis, if memory serves.

He said that he wanted to avoid creating any dangerous precedents. He'd be a good addition to the court simply to move the Judiciary away from overreaching activism and legislating from the bench. Sounds like a smart person, and he didn't actually express his personal opinion.

Ugh I keep doing this. I meant not unexpected. My b. I've had a few midterms today so I'm a little frazzled.

As Buckley would say, I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.

They are setting him up to slide into the next Supreme Court slot, perhaps this summer.

There should be a big avalanche of judicial noms around May.

Users like NH Volunteer or Sanchez should rejoice....Nikki Haley may have got a high-ranking post but Trump wanted to outright push her into becoming SoS.
