This was ostensibly a job interview - who would even be "called back" after totally losing it and going off and insulting the person/people doing the interviewing??? And for this particular job - the requirements being to have knowledge of the law, a sober temperament, and, most important, to view any case before the court in an impartial and serious manner. But this nut job pledged his allegiance to Trump right there and then - hardly impartial and this third branch of government is supposed to be independent, as Congress should be. He should never have been allowed to continue after that, let alone invited back! Jesus!!!
