Serious question - can Groper Don the Con nominate his sister

[malaise]

as a SCOTUS judge?

[True Dough]

1. Who is his sister?

What are her credentials (not that her credentials matter one iota to Drumpf, but for the rest of us to assess, at least)?

[malaise]

4. She's a Federal Judge

so don't rule it out

[jehop61]

2. I think

She's almost 80. Too old

[malaise]

5. PHEW!

I feel a sense of relief

[Lochloosa]

3. Short answer. Yes.

[unblock]

6. there are zero restrictions. he can nominate anyone.

it's subject to "advice and consent" of the senate, but other than that, there are no constitutional requirements.

he could nominate his 10-year old son, he could nominate putin, he could nominate himself.

7. Just judging from his other appointments so far he will put someone

on the SCOTUS that has zero legal experience.

8. Trump would not be the first to do so.

Looks like Kennedy was the last one to do it for a non-lawyer.
