How will Donald Trump pick his new Supreme Court nominee? It’s Donald Trump, so the answer is obviously personal chemistry (no doubt with a heavy dose of how loyal he thinks they’ll be) plus optics. Trump is starting out with a pre-approved list of far-right judges and legal thinkers courtesy of the Federalist Society, so from there he can go with his gut, knowing that the right-wing legal and political establishments will nod along approvingly.
