Reality TV Star Donald Trump favors “Tweeter Laureate of Texas”  Republican Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett

Austin, TX -- Today, Donald Trump announced he would consider nominating Texas Republican Supreme Court Justice Don Willett to the Supreme Court of the United States.

We have 5 Questions for Justice Don Willett:

1.       Are you prepared to stump for Trump?

2.      Does Justice Willett believe the Korematsu case was properly decided? We know Trump won't say if internment violated American values. [Time, Dec. 8, 2015<http://time.com/4140050/donald-trump-muslims-japanese-internment/>]

3.      Where do you stand on Roe V. Wade? We know Trump believes women should be punished for making their own healthcare choices. [USA Today, May 18, 2016<http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/05/18/trump-women-would-self-punish-illegal-abortion/84539728/>]

4.      Donald Trump has called for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States, do you feel this is in his constitutional authority to do so if elected President, do you agree with his position? [CNN, December 8, 2015<http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/07/politics/donald-trump-muslim-ban-immigration/>]

5.      Would Donald Trump’s libel proposal to crack down on pesky reporters pass your legal review? [Washington Post, February 26, 2016<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/02/26/donald-trump-vows-to-open-up-libel-laws-to-make-suing-the-media-easier-heres-how-he-could-do-it/>]

And remember folks, think before you nominate. Justice Willett, an avid Twitter user has taken to social media to frequently troll the reality TV star and front-runner Donald Trump on several occasions (see below).
