Thing is, the Trump administration could easily find right wing ghouls with the proper accreditations. They’re just straight up turning the judiciary into spoils for palm greasing and/or whomever Trump found entertaining on Fox News this week.
whomever Trump found entertaining on Fox News this week.
I can imagine convos like the following. Our scene begins at breakfast time. A spouse is talking to their husband who is a judge.
“Honey, you know how often tell you that you could shave your mustache and get more… um… fashionable glasses?”
Irritatedly “Yes. And I’ve told you that I like my mustache. And my glasses.”
“But you’ll probably get interviewed on Fox News next week… And… Well…Trump will probably be watching.”
“So?”
“So… He hates mustaches and I don’t think he’ll like your glasses either.”
“Surely my record stands for itself. Are you actually saying I should focus on trivialities to improve my judicial standing?”
Standing their ground “Trump makes the decisions. He’s very interested in how people look and that people look that they came right out of central casting. And if you want something better - you had better appeal to him.”
They have a big fight. The judge says he doesn’t want a bite of the “nice breakfast” and he storms out of the house in a huff. After about ten minutes as he’s driving to work for his job which is clearly beneath him - he thinks that might it could be time for the mustache to go. And - what the heck - maybe it’s time to get new glasses too. Looking the part might help him get the judgeship he deserves.
