"Lyin'Donald probably saw Willett's name, recognized it only due to the tweets, and said, 'fine, add him to the list'."

COMMENTS:
*  I personally would not take anything from Texas. We had Cruz who was able to deceive many church people into thinking he was the messiah and now this judge. Those in Texas should do things that affect Texas. I doubt the rest of the US can tolerate their insanity!
*  Justice Willet has shown himself to be slightly irreverent but humorous. One major difference between he and a lot of the others from the gop in Texas is the Justice seems to be sane.
*  The committee picked the judge not Trump. It does surprise me a judge would engage in political mockery as that might be considered judicial misconduct should he decide a case that has political overtones like the Perry case and Texas has had others.
*  I can't believe that Willett is a conservative. Afterall, he is intelligent and has a sense of humor, two traits not found in most of the GOP.
*  These are not Trump#$%$. They are a list he was given by his GOP- hired establishment- consultants. He would name a former beauty queen who went to law school and who is still a 10, one of his kids, and maybe the tax lawyer who gets him to pay the least taxes... He once suggested his sister who is a federal judge, but didn't know he couldn't name her. Said he was kidding. Whatever. He is learning how government works as he goes. All you people who bought into he could not be bought because he is self funding his campaign. Well what say you now? He won't fund his campaign for the general election and is now another puppet for GOP donors and party big wigs.
*   Donald Chump has no idea what he's doing. Probably somebody just handed him a list of 11 people and told him what to say.

One of Trump's SCOTUS picks has trolled him on Twitter for nearly a year
By Dylan Stableford, May 18, 2016

Donald Trump released the names of his potential picks for the Supreme Court on Wednesday. And at least one of them, Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett, doesn’t appear to view the presumptive Republican nominee with the same regard.

Willett, one of 11 judges on Trump’s list, has a rather extensive history of mocking the brash billionaire on Twitter. The justice is something of a social media maven and frequently tweets out jokes and memes.

Last August, Willett tweeted that he’d rather “vote for Deez Mutts” than for Trump or Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

I would vote for "Deez Mutts."

The 49-year-old, who has served on the Texas Supreme Court since 2005, frequently mimics Trump’s attack lines.

I hit within inches of the hole & then Lyin' Louis gets a hole-in-one by banking off my ball?! Bad system! Sad! https://twitter.com/themasters/status/719270992401412096 …

On Easter, Willett figuratively face-palmed the prospect of a President Trump.

Trump to "the evangelicals"—
"I'll be the best thing that's ever happened to them."
ps—Happy Easter, everyone!

Last month, Willett skewered Trump’s campaign promise to build a wall along the U.S. southern border and have Mexico pay for it.

And shortly after Trump launched his presidential campaign, Willett wondered who the former “Celebrity Apprentice” star might nominate to the nation’s highest court.

Who would the Donald
Name to #SCOTUS? The mind reels.
*weeps—can't finish tweet*

Reached in Austin on Wednesday, Willett declined to comment after he was informed his name was on Trump’s SCOTUS shortlist, telling reporters he was “exercising judicial restraint.”


Justice Don Willett ✔  @JusticeWillett
Can't wait till Trump rips off his face Mission Impossible-style & reveals a laughing Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
