President Trump announced his choice to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy: a twelve-week-old fetus.<\/p>\n
By nominating the fetus, Mr. Trump opted to look beyond his publicized list of potential nominees and made a choice that will shape the Supreme Court for the next 78.8 years, on average.<\/p>\n
Mr. Trump\u2019s decision raised some eyebrows in the legal world, as the nominee has no eyebrows of its own. The Constitution does not mandate any qualifications for Supreme Court justices, but previous presidents have traditionally nominated adult humans.<\/p>\n
At a press conference at the White House, a screen displayed the fetal ultrasound from the young blonde woman carrying the nominee. \u201cLook at that!\u201d Mr. Trump boasted. \u201cA lot of people are saying it\u2019s the best nominee since Neil Gorsuch, maybe ever. And the mom\u2019s still a ten \u2014 soon she\u2019ll get disgusting, but at least her boobs will be bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what you wanted, right?\u201d Mr. Trump asked the largely evangelical attendees. \u201cYoung, white, anti-abortion \u2014 what could be more anti-abortion than a fetus? I was just talking to Mike Pence \u2014 you people really care about this stuff, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, praised the \u201cdefinitely heterosexual and hopefully male\u201d nominee to replace Justice Kennedy. \u201cAnd Christian,\u201d he added. \u201cThe nominee is a Christian.\u201d<\/p>\n
