Napolitano told friends he was on Trump's Supreme Court shortlist

Source: Politico

Judge Andrew Napolitano may be temporarily sidelined at Fox News, but he’s been telling friends and associates that he could be in for a big promotion — to the Supreme Court.

After meeting with President Trump twice during the transition, first in December and again in mid-January, the Newark, N.J.-born television personality told several people that Trump said he was on the list of judges from whom he was selecting a nominee for the high court.

“He said, ‘Trump said I’m on the list,’” said a source who spoke with Napolitano shortly after one of his meetings with the then president-elect. “He’s been saying that since the transition.”

Friends warned Napolitano not to take the president too literally – or seriously. “He'll take your call and invite you to the Oval Office, but he just wants you to say nice things about him on TV,” the source says he told Napolitano at the time. But that didn’t sink the ambitious judge’s hopes.

the foot you shot yourself in last week about the GCHQ being behind supposed wiretaps was disqualifies you, or least I would hope.

Trump lies all the time to everyone including himself. So does Napolitano. So they could have lied to each other and to themselves and imagined it to be alternative facts.

voice rather than about her half dressed body and sexy moves, with a merely adequate voice homogenized by autotune.

The only job I see for you in the future is maybe Judge Judy's after her retirement, or maybe in some capacity for the hypocrite Log Cabiners, or Infowars.
