I'd almost have liked to see this. It's his circus and his monkeys!Fox's Napolitano claimed Trump was considering him for Supreme Court: report
By Elliot Smilowitz - 03/25/17 08:38 AM EDT
Fox News analyst Andrew Napolitano told several people that President Trump was considering nominating him to the Supreme Court, Politico reported Saturday.
Napolitano was pulled off the air by Fox this week after he claimed on-air that a British intelligence agency wiretapped Trump Tower a claim the White House repeated, drawing criticism from the United Kingdom.
Napolitano met with Trump twice during the transition, reportedly telling associates after the meetings that he was told he was on the short list to fill the Supreme Court vacancy.
Trump last month nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals to the high school. Gorsuch was on a list of potential nominees released by Trump during the campaign, while Napolitano was not.
Napolitano told a colleague that the president promised to nominate him if another Supreme Court seat opens during his presidency, Politico reported.
Napolitano last week claimed that Britains Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) was spying on Trump at former President Obama's behest.

...so Kremlin Don may have been thinking of his 2nd pick, not the Heritage-approved nominee for the current vacancy.
