Trump's Supreme Court Ghoulishess: Is He Thinking About Genes Again? [View all]
Axios reports that Trump is speculating on possible Supreme Court vacancies, with one surprising name included.
Sources who've spoken to the president about the Supreme Court say he tells them he thinks he'll have appointed four justices by the end of his first term....
Asked how he comes to that jaw-dropping number, Trump mentions the obvious: he's already replaced Antonin Scalia with Neil Gorsuch, and there are rumors Anthony Kennedy will retire.
"Ok," one source told Trump, "so that's two. Who are the others?"
"Ginsburg," Trump replied. "What does she weigh? 60 pounds?"
"Who's the fourth?" the source asked.
"Sotomayor," Trump said, referring to the relatively recently-appointed Obama justice, whose name is rarely, if ever, mentioned in speculation about the next justice to be replaced. "Her health," Trump explained. "No good. Diabetes."
Sonia Sotomayor has successfully managed type-1 diabetes since childhood. She's 64 years old -- years younger than Trump. (Ruth Bader Ginsberg is 84 and a cancer survivor, though she also has a rigorous exercise regimen.)
Health is a peculiar obsession of Trump's -- health and stamina.
