Lawrence O’Donnell said that Judge Aileen Cannon’s order granting Donald Trump’s request regarding documents seized from Mar-a-Lago is an unofficial application for the next Supreme Court vacancy under a Republican president.
“Well thanks to Donald Trump and the Republican Party adopting Trumpian methods, we now, tonight, know the name of the next Republican nominee for the United States Supreme Court,” O’Donnell said during the opening of his 10 P.M. show. Cannon, he said, “publicly applied for the job of Supreme Court justice, in writing, yesterday, in a 24-page opinion.”by legal experts, with O’Donnell adding that it “has no connective tissue to pre-existing legal scholarship in America.
Cannon, a Trump appointee, also wrote that having a third party involved would help prevent Trump from suffering “reputational harm.” O’Donnell took aim at this bit in particular. “One of the most absurd notions in her order giving Donald Trump everything he asked for, is the idea that a future indictment of Donald Trump, based on this evidence, ‘Would result in reputation harm,’” he said. “The only way Donald Trump could suffer reputational harm is if the evidence contained child pornography, which it most assuredly does not. You cannot suffer reputational harm if you have already destroyed your reputation.
