I think the most important question is, would Governor DeSantis want to (immediately and permanently) go to DC, and join SCOTUS?
Gut instinct is "no."
Do you SERIOUSLY think ANYONE would take ANY invitation to be on SCOTUS and say...NAH...
Okay. Just one guy's opinion. A guy almost the same age as DeSantis, from the same area, and so forth.
They've got three kids under the age of 8. Casey's got some things going on, between investigations, potential health concerns, and maybe even political aspirations of her own.
And my instinct is that the Governor is a doer, and might not think that SCOTUS is the best place for him now.
Not to mention the other side of things, the likelihood of being confirmed if he does want it and is nominated.
Ok...
Now THAT is a fair enough rebuttal...
I will respectfully disagree that DeSantis would turn it down, though...
I understand his personal issues, but they have not stopped him from performing his current political duties.
I think he would take a SCOTUS appointment in a minute.
So, I agree to disagree.

He's made that abundantly clear over the years. And Solid? Nope. The Obamacare decision is a permanent stain on his tenure.

I would love it too. I'm a huge fan of his. I just don't see that happening with the next ~16 years already planned out for the GOP. He'd be left in waiting too long.
One that I'm really really starting to like a lot is Brandon Gill too. That guy has been front and center a lot lately. Especially his attack on that DIGNIDAD bill

I hate to be a Debbie Downer butttttt…..Trump does forgive but he doesn't forget. DeSantis will never be one of his picks for the SC, totally out of character for the Donald.
The candidate will be like the last three Trump put forth, out of a judicial pool of candidates. You can bet it will be a practicing male judge.
Seems President Trump forgave V.P. J.D. Vance.

quote from the articleETA: opps already posted by Gaeilge
- In April of 2016, he wrote in the New York Times that Trump was "unfit for our nation's highest office."
- "I'm a Never Trump guy," Vance said in an interview with Charlie Rose in 2016, according to Politico. "I never liked him."
Talk is cheap, actually running against him after Trump had arguably saved his political career is not.
Desantis has no political future once his term as governor ends as long as Trump is the emperor of the party.
They have rekindle their broken relationship but it will never be like it was, seriously, you guys don't understand Trump. He doesn't forget when he forgives.
Thomas stated in his confirmation hearing that he wanted to serve 43 years or something similar so he still has a ways to go if that wasn't just hyperbole.Ag with kids said:TA-OP said:
Thomas won't retire. He wants the record for longest serving Justice if for no other reason than the way he was treated during his confirmation.
Where do you come up with this *****

Quote:
In a conversation with his law clerks two years following his confirmation, The New York Times reported Thomas expressed his desire to serve on the court until the year 2034.
"The liberals made my life miserable for 43 years," a former clerk remembered Thomas who was 43 years old when confirmed saying, according to The New York Times. "And I'm going to make their lives miserable for 43 years."

Would much rather DeSantis on SC than in the Executive.
Yeah, he's been a pretty terrible executive in Florida.
You obviously don't live here, you hack. DeSantis has been AMAZING for this state. If only we could keep the local RINOs from sabotaging him.
Lol, you obviously don't spend much time on this forum. I'm probably the biggest DeSantis fan here but I do love sarcasm.

JOHN ROBERTS MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY or be impeached.
WHERE ARE GOP "LEADERS"?

How could she "hide" her equity stake if she is a partner? Even a junior one?
Now to be fair, some firms are structured in such a way that their bonus/dividends have withholding and treated as salary at the end of the year. But still.

She doesn't work for a law firm. She's a law firm recruiter.

At the center of the complaint is the documented commission income earned by Jane Sullivan Roberts while working as a legal recruiter at Major, Lindsey & Africa between 2007 and 2014. According to internal records released by whistleblower Kendal Price, she earned $10.3 million in commissions from elite law firms during that period, some of which argued cases before the Supreme Court in the same years.
YouBet said:
Who filed the complaint? Maybe it was Trump to speed things along so we can get him out of there.

Ok, if his wife was compensated by law firm(s) that had cases before Roberts, would you call that a massive ethics violation?
BTW...this guy is just regurgitating a 3 year old story...
But, keep pushing the left wing message!!!
Federal district court judges must follow ethics rules. Federal appellate court judges must follow ethics rules.
— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) April 27, 2026
The only judges who don’t follow ethics rules are Supreme Court Justices.
Help Dems flip the House and we will pass legislation to put ethics into the Supreme Court. https://t.co/Et9sb3ch3Z

Even if he got disbarred, it would me absolutely zilch.
There is no requirement to have a law license to be on SCOTUS.
ONLY Congress can remove him with impeachment.
