Cory Booker, U.S. Senator from New Jersey, points out that in nominating a Supreme Court nominee right now, President Trump has a huge conflict of interest.
Should anything from the Mueller investigation go to the Supreme Court -- and there is a good chance that will happen -- whoever Trump appoints will be there to deal with it.
I heard MSNBC's Rachel Maddow note at least one of those on Trump's short list has already expressed his opinion that Trump could pardon himself. Seems such a candidate might be attractive to Trump at this time. What is to stop him from appointing such a person?
