In the flurry of speculation following Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement announcement Wednesday, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) has been speculated to be in the pool of possible candidates — a development he is very pleased about.
“I’m honored to even be considered for that, this of course is the President’s choice, this is going to be a decision that’s up to him and not up to me,” he told Fox News’ Shannon Beam Wednesday evening. “I certainly would not say no if offered that job.”

He’ll be up against Andrew Napolitano.
Tough competition.
Holy fuck, these people are the vomitus from the Great Pit of Carkoon.
Can the senator do math? In a normal world, the nominee would recuse himself from voting. If McCain is alive and can’t vote, the senator would have to breach tradition (and what Republican would countenance that?
) to get the nod.
The freak show begins. What a travesty.
May he never get the chance to say yes.
