Some good analysis concerning Trump's Supreme Court finalist list.

More than a month has passed since President-elect Donald Trump told us to expect a Supreme Court nomination “pretty soon.” But even if a SCOTUS nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia gets announced forthwith, it’s unlikely that this new justice will join the Court in time to participate in any decisions for the current Term.[1]

So that’s the “when” of this story. What about the “who”? In case you missed it over the holidays, Jan Crawford of CBS News, one of the most plugged-in Supreme Court reporters around, revealed Trump’s five finalists (in alphabetical order, and with thanks to How Appealing; full transcript of the discussion here):

Judge Steven Colloton (8th Cir.) of Iowa
Judge Thomas Hardiman (3d Cir.) of Pennsylvania
Justice Joan Larsen of Michigan
Judge William Pryor (11th Cir.) of Alabama
Judge Diane Sykes (7th Cir.) of Wisconsin

Can you handicap how long Trump will last before being kicked out of office? I think the over/under will be 30 months. My friends think less. And bonus points for the whether it is due to impeachment or the 25th Amendment for psychosis and overall mental instability.

Even if Trump gets the boot, his Supreme Court legacy will live on for decades.

CBS hasn't gotten anything right concerning Trump in the last year. Just why would we think that they happened to this time?
