I don't think the person nominated or rushed through would care. He/she gets the title and the life-time appointment.

Look to the Gorsuch nomination. It's done in the worst possible way and no one mentions it other than us. He could care less about the situation he got nominated.

Any reich-wing judge or lawyer would jump at the chance to enshrine their personal politics as the permanent "law of the land."

Or are you saying they might worry about being subject to assassination? When has that ever been a credible threat? And don't you think they'd be given the best Secret Service protection our tax dollars can buy?

To their credit though, the Secret Service is staffed by preeminently capable security professionals.

Lindsey Graham or Ted Cruz.

Neither has any honor or integrity and will do whatever trump tells them to do.
