Hard to keep up with this guy changing his mind. You are liable to get whiplash if you try!

1. All of the justices suddenly remembered that they had to wash their hair that evening.

Or read some briefs. Or clean their cats' litter boxes. Anyhow, they had scheduling conflicts.

2. Either that or Ivanka realized trump is in no shape to host...

the SCOTUS justices, especially after that disastrous, word salad-filled debacle of an interview today.

His incompetence/early dementia would be easily seen by the justices and things could cascade from there with discreet calls to House and Senate leaders that action needs to be taken.

IMO the only reason she is in the White House is to look after trump.

4. Maybe someone has told him not to tell them how large his Inauguration crowd was.

That could put a real dent in things he wanted to discuss during dinner.

5. yep what were they thinking

Sure Trump can wine and dine the worlds leaders but could not host all the justices all at once they would crucify him before Trump finished his word salad.

10. This Would Be My Guess

Trump in a room with several of the top lawyers in the country? I'm thinking that wouldn't put him in the best light. Although I'm sure they'd hold their fire. It wouldn't be very sporting to pick on the mentally challenged over dinner.

6. Thery were all going to Pennsylvania

THere was a bigly rally for that night

12. Or wash their briefs

3. Maybe the Justices came to their senses and cancelled...after reading this tweet:

7. Drumpf had to get in a couple of rounds of golf instead.

8. Jared's a graduate of NYU Law School. If he thought the law professors were intimidating . . . .

he would be taken to the curb by Ruth Bader Ginsberg at the dinner table. He wouldn't be able to shield his father-in-law from his expected idiocy in front of the Justices.

9. Would they have had to recuse themselves from every case?

Who would think having the Supreme Court over for dinner was a good idea? They will be hearing cases prosecuted/defended by his administration. If a DA had the trial judge over for dinner, that would likely be grounds for misconduct, mistrial or reversal on appeal.

What was going to happen? Was Trump going to tell them all about how the Muslim ban was misunderstood? It's mind-boggling.

11. He probably only meant to invite the conservatives

13. they weren't going to be serving delicious chocolate cake with a side of missiles. nt

14. Don't go Dems.
