Potential Trump high court nominee mocked him on Twitter

BY AMY TENNERY

A Texas judge identified by Donald Trump on Wednesday as one of 11 people he would consider nominating to the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly mocked the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on social media.

Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett last month likened Trump to "Star Wars" villain Darth Vader in a Twitter post.

"'We'll rebuild the Death Star. It'll be amazing, believe me. And the rebels will pay for it.' —Darth Trump," Willett tweeted last month with a photo of the Death Star, the giant spherical spaceship built to carry a planet-destroying weapon in the first "Star Wars" movie.

Willett also linked Trump to liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

"Can't wait till Trump rips off his face Mission Impossible-style & reveals a laughing Ruth Bader Ginsburg," Willett posted on Twitter last August.

1. Not sure which is worse in this story

The fact that a sitting judge is mocking presidential candidates or the fact that Trump thinks this guy is supreme Court material.....


Admittedly Trump is an easy target for mocking but I expect a little more decorum in supreme Court judges. Maybe that is my hang up.

3. Agree. Guessing the list is down to 10 now. nt

4. They deserve each other. After Trumpy loses, they can go on the off-bradway circuit

and insult each other nightly for audience entertainment.

5. Well, he is a...

...Texas supreme court judge, so you may need to tweak your expectations a bit.
