Elie Mystal Whines About Timing Of SCOTUS Taking Trump Immunity Appeal

ELIE MYSTAL: Clarence Thomas doesn't want to die on that court and he’s getting old and he is never going to retire during a Democratic president. So Clarence Thomas- one of the reasons why he’s not re-cruising himself is that Clarence Thomas needs Trump to win again so Clarence Thomas can retire. And most likely, Sam Alito needs Trump to win again so Alito can retire instead of having to die on the bench. And so that’s at least two of the nine who have a vested professional interest in seeing continued Republican hegemony over this country and that’s not the first time this has happened. As we all know, Sandra Day O'Connor wanted George Bush to be president and thus appointed him president in Bush v. Gore, because she wanted to retire under a Republican president. This is how Republicans roll.
