You\u2019d think that conversation in the media would focus on the fact that this president &#8212; who is so unstable that his own senior staff members are sounding the alarm &#8212; is about to make a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d be wrong.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Click through.
