(269,259 posts)10. Trump's hidden back channel to Justice Kennedy: Their kids
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/donald-trump-supreme-court-236925
<snip>
After Donald Trump wrapped up his first speech to Congress and worked his way through the crowd, he lingered on his handshake with Anthony Kennedy, the 80-year-old Supreme Court justice.
The boom mics picked up their seemingly private conversation.
Say hello to your boy, Trump said, Special guy. Your kids have been very nice to him, Kennedy replied. Well, Trump said, they love him, and they love him in New York.
While the White House is focused this week on shepherding Trumps first Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, through the Senate confirmation process, the president and his team are obsessed with the next possible vacancy.

Then there's this video of Trump making a comment that stops Kennedy in his tracks.

But if Traitor Tot is impeached, he'll go down in history that way. He'd hate that; ergo, me likey!

Even if impeachment fails to convict, at least it will show the complicity of the GOP Senate.
