Minor Update: Paul tells us the Federalist Society people have corrected him: they say didn’t give Tangerine any names. Sure. Leonard Leo did (it was Leonard Leo coordinating the Federalists’ efforts). Here’s Paul’s non-denial, in full:
“…NOTE: I have changed this post from the original version to reflect the fact that the Federalist Society itself did not make any recommendations for judges during the Trump administration (or at any other time)….”
This is silly churlishness… even by Paul’s standards. Trump has said publicly that he used the FEderalist list provided by Leo, the judge whisperer. Sheesh — end update.
These guys are so… sadly delusional.
They so deeply fear an equal and fair application of the US laws — to all of them, that even Mirengoff is now parroting the line that even if Tangerine ignores the Federalist Society, in choosing his judges, as he has said he will — should he win a second term… we shouldn’t worry, because we good GOPers can blunt his worst excesses.
The hilarious part of that is that he would rely on the Democrats in the Senate to block truly awful nominations.
So — he argues — elect Tangerine, but then be sure to keep a Democratic majority in the Senate, so none of us spineless GOPers will ever have to stand up to our racist MAGAt wing.
Got all that?! Damn, Paul…
That argument is… self-refuting.
Out.
